Some light entertainment for those who share their lives with cats or dogs.

Some light entertainment for those who share their lives with cats or dogs.

10 Reasons to own a Cat as a pet rather than a Dog 1)         You’ll never have need of a “Beware of the Cat” sign. 2)         Cats purr all over you. Dogs drool all over you. 3)         A cat may stick its nose in the air, but a dog will stick its nose in your privates. 4)         Cats always land on their feet. Dogs won’t even let you throw them. 5)         Cats rub themselves against your leg in affection. Dogs do it because they feel horny. 6)         Cats bury their own crap. Dogs dig up others. 7)         Cats use a…

Top Ten Differences between Cats and Dogs:

Top Ten Differences between Cats and Dogs:

Light entertainment from your favourite pets… 1)         Dogs will play anything you choose, whenever you like, even if they’re tired. Cats will take a long nap, and woe betide you if you disturb them. 2)         Dogs prick their ears and tilt their heads on one side when you talk to them, doing their very best to understand. Cats yawn and close their eyes because you’re boring them. 3)         Dogs come running when you call them. Cats give you ‘That Look’, and get back to you when they’re good and ready. 4)         Dogs give you happy, sloppy kisses when you come…

Boxing Day

Boxing Day

There are several theories as to the origin of Boxing Day, but in general the tradition has long included the wealthy giving money and other gifts to the poor. The European tradition dates to the Middle Ages, but some claim it dates back even farther to the late Roman/early Christian era when metal boxes were placed outside churches to collect special offerings connected to the Feast of Saint Stephen. A reference to Boxing Day’s origins appears in the Christmas Carol, “Good King Wenceslas.” Wenceslas, who was Duke of Bohemia in the early 10th century, saw a poor man gathering wood…

Do you write books as a career, or are you currently still juggling your author time with a full or part time job? I would love to write as a career, but I am still working full time and squeezing some writing in where I can. It’s a little more challenging now I have two little ones to entertain. The first three books were written a number of years ago, so now I have to update the story and finish the fourth book called ‘Jimmy Threepwood and the divider of fabric and space.  2. Have you always wanted to be…

THE HUMAN SURVIVAL GUIDE TO FEEDING YOUR PET.

Here is some light entertainment for those who share their lives with cats or dogs.  Don’t Keep Your Dog Waiting: Or he will whine pitifully, staring at his dish, until you remember to feed him. He may also chew the carpet.   Don’t keep your Cat waiting:   Or he will consider the fresh food swimming in the tank, the furry meatball in the wheel, or the feathered kebab on a stick in the cage as a suitable alternative. What to Feed The Dog:   Your Dog will enjoy a variety of food, from you and from the ground. He…

The LIBRA Personality.

The LIBRA Personality.

Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac. The first six signs represent man’s attention turned inward to understand and develop his individuality and position in the cosmos. The rest of the signs represent his attention turned outward to humanity as a whole. Libra is not merely the sign of partnership, it is the sign of other people in general. Libra is the balance between the individual and society. To attain the understanding man seeks in Libra, there must be a compromise between the passion and the intellect. The physical world must come to terms with the non-physical world. The…

MRS PRESTON’S KITCHEN BREAKFAST The Thornton Mysteries When writing a book set in the 1920s, the first thing you realise is there is a lot of research to do. The Dragon Sleeps is a murder mystery, the first in The Thornton Mysteries. The family home, Thornton Park, is a lavish mansion. There are servants and a definite upstairs downstairs scenario. Fashions, music and cars aside, I found the need to research food. What would the family eat in 1927? What did the servants eat? Mrs Preston is the cook at Thornton Park. Not a chef, but she’s as meticulous and proud of her…

What Do YOU think?

What Do YOU think?

Hello readers, and thank you for being here. I have decided to turn this week’s blog into what hopefully could be a communication exercise. Each week I write your blog, with no real idea about which you like, or even hate! Do you enjoy my blogs in general, and find them interesting, or would you prefer different topics? If possible, let me know which you enjoy, which not so much. Do you enjoy the factual ones, humour, astrology, origins of days we celebrate often without knowing why? Useful sites and tips for writers? Or even if there are any topics…
