Last Week’s Catch Up And Cat Logic

Happy Birthday Mr AJ!

Starting with the most important thing first. Last Monday Mr AJ celebrated his 15th birthday! I’ll keep saying it for forever. I can’t believe he once fitted in the palm of my hands and ruled the street. Well, I like to think he ruled the street. I once saw him late one night in London chasing a fox through the terraced gardens in the snow. The fox went under the fence, he went over the fence. Maybe they were playing. There was a family of foxes at the end of the garden living under a clapped out garden shed and he used to regularly spend nights out.

Last Weekend of April and May Day 2017 Part 2: The Zoo, Earth Day Fair and Parc del Garraf

I might live in a city, however I’m lucky enough to live in a more open part of it, see the sea, greenery and of course I’m a 25 minutes fast cycle (21 min sprint) to the zoo, my own tropical garden during late summer afternoons when everybody’s at the beach. My Mum always says you can take the girl out the country but you can’t take the country out the girl.

I hope you had a great long weekend! Aside from realising I need colour (more…)

Earth Day 2017, Jardins De Laribal And Jardins Del Theatre Grec

As one weekend’s starting, I’m just sharing from last weekend!

This week’s disappeared once again in cleaning and while I don’t mind running in drizzle or rain, grey skies. My new gym circuits to reduce time in the gym aren’t working, so I planning another format to try. I am enjoying the (more…)
