Boldly going with camels!

Bloggie friends!

I am soooooooooooo excited I can barely contain myself!!

Today (Monday) I shall be ensconced in a lovely imax cinema watching Star Trek: Into Darkness in glorious 3D and imax!!!!!!!

*Squeals with girlish delight*!!!!!!

So while I am away, here is a pic of two beautiful Bactrian camels outside my office window taken a couple of weeks back.

The School of African and Oriental Studies held a Camel Conference (I kid you NOT) and these two beauties were there to highlight just how important these creatures are to the livelihoods of so many! 

And I repeat, they were right outside my window at work!!!!!

Me and Charlie and The Gumster promise to visit y'all eventually but first we must boldly go where no-one has gone before! :-)

Have  a great week!!

Stripes, spots, pots and surveys!

Bloggie pals! Finally, I got my potted plants to bloom again! If you remember, this was one task I set myself to do a couple of months back! 

Et voila!

Gumtree says: I show off my stripes!

Charlie says: I show off my spot!

And lastly, today (6th May)  is the first ever National Cat Watch Day! 

This survey asks cat owners to observe their chosen cat and complete a questionnaire.  The aim is to understand how cats "use their home and garden and to spot where improvements can be made to their world." Details, here.

Have a great week, y'all!

Poptastic pots and purrfect pals!

I am always in AWE at how creative and super talented my bloggie pals are - from writing stories and thoughtful essays, to photography, to drawing, to baking and knitting and crocheting to jewellry making to crafting things out of bits of stuff to reading a million books in a month to just being utterly fabulous and gorgeous! 

Me and Charlie and the Gumster salute you!

Have a great week y'all!

A bird and some stationery

Bloggie pals! 

So there I was suffering from writer's block when this happened!

A little chaffinch came hopping across the outside windowsill looking in! 

Charlie says: I stay on the wrong windowsill!

Gumtree says: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"I spy...

... with my little eye something beginning with C!" says Gumtree!

Bloggie pals!

After some April showers, the sun came out, the cats frolicked and I started my long delayed plant potting up project!

Hope Spring has truly sprung where ever you are!

Have a great week y'all! 

Bonkers basking baking

Bloggie pals!

As I bake blueberry muffins (they taste better than they look! LOL!)

Charlie basks in the glare of the camera

And Gumtree goes bonkers while snoozing! Well he was boxing the air while asleep!

Spring madness is truly here! Have a great week y'all!

Rare new plant discovered!
