Upon my weekend travels, I got to watch these adorable lambs find their way:
Super cute, seemingly bright and utterly compelling to watch.

Yay, I wins.

Retro Spring swung by
26 AprDespite the April showers and yet another disappointing episode of Lost, it was spring in my kitchen this weekend:
Hey chick, something's come between us
Clean pants everyone?
31 DecStumbled upon this, really nicely done and pretty inspiring – you will need to wear trousers if this becomes a reality:
That’s before I saw that Martin Becka has taken and developed a series of scenic photographs of Dubai using only equipment from the 18th century:
Dubai Aged by Martin Becka - very Fritz Lang huh?
And after I watched Blade Runner again pre-Christmas and marvelled at the depiction of LA 2019 yet again…
Blade Runner
… and upon searching for a suitably iconic Blade Runner photos for this post, I found thiis neat little site Different Visions of The Future 1925-2005, which contemplates Le Corbusier, The Jetson’s and Logan’s Run…
Go West. I mean East. South East.
30 JulSo, here are two photos I took of the Westfield site pre construction of the now well establised Westfield ‘cennar’.
Digging for gold in the wrong place.
Contrary to popular belief, it would appear that the pots of gold are not directly underneath said construction.
I’m going to look at creating a game, which stitches together a photographic map (photosynth maybe?) of London based on ‘where the rainbows end’ type images and see if I can’t at least find myself a penny or two.
Who wants to play? I’m thinking MMOG, offline treats, cult following.
Obviously it’s that simple.
Oh yeah – anyone able to actually build this?
I’ll retain originator rights and go 60:40 on profit share…
Picture Perfect? Again, please!
20 JulSo this is how Greece looked, pretty stunning and a bit of a snapshot of my recent holiday:
But take a closer look at this picture, yes, I took this and think I have a future as a live action/sports photographer!
10/10 for technique.
Although, the best things in life are about preparation and here’s one of a zillion I took earlier:
One of many "opps, missed it, can you dive again?"
Love Story
30 JunHaving always been a cat lover, I was delighted when a furry friend revealed itself on the first morning of our Greek adventure.
The cat’s first attempt at joining in the fun was whilst we were supping our morning coffee on day one.
Morning, I can Haz coffee too?
Having always been a dog lover, the boyfriend struggled with the idea of having a cat around the house and declared it a ‘dirty pest’ (although I was sure that even at this early stage, he didn’t really mean it).
Alarmed that a cat could appear from nowhere, jump into his lap and expect some tickle action – interrupting his much anticipated holiday reading – was certainly a shock to him.
Taa Daa, here I am again! It's OK, I won't bite :)
There we go, perfect fit.
The cat however, persisted in her ‘you will love me’ campaign, by getting involved with the boyfriend’s morning stretch routine – a strong start which showed off her playful nature particularly well I thought.
I can do that too, look!
I likes this one better.
Without trying much harder, she moved in. Two became three.
Chillin' on the stairs, rollinz, rollinz, rollinz.
Whilst we supped coffee, she supped milk al fresco from the finest bone china.
Nom. K thnxbai.
It didn’t take too long before the boyfriend was giving out tickles without being jumped upon.
No sooner had the cat sat down to bask in the afternoon sunshine; the boyfriend was there, doing the chin, the cheeks, the ears, top of the head and if rumours are true – the belly.
Left a bit...
And so, by the end of week one, a love story unfolded – cat and boyfriend learnt to enjoy time together. He got to read, whilst she got a welcoming lap.
I had readz it anyways.
I on the other hand, got bitten by cat gremlins every night for the remainder of the holiday after this photo was taken.
What’s up pussycat?
28 JunI sees your food and I wants it.
Do cats pull on the human heartstrings?
No.
We play these strings just fine ourselves – in the key of ‘irrational guilt’.
In being human, our genetic make-up is predisposed to nurture, protect and make fat, even when cat or comrade already exhibits signs of obvious plumpness.
Here’s my theory, cats essentially love company. It is not always about cats wanting table titbits or treats around their regular meal cycles – sometimes an ear tickle or a quick belly rub is enough – unless of course one is confronted by the cat mob of Kefalonia…
Having spent the last two weeks in on this beautiful island, life is apparently good for cats of a tenacious nature.
Welcome in restaurants the island over, Kefalonian cats regularly enjoy fish of the day, feta, rooster, bread, anchovies, olives, yoghurt and all manner of ‘saganakied’ delights, pretty much every night of the week.
These puds are as tough as old boots yet exhibit the most extraordinary acting skills; just last night, the drama played out as follows:
CAT [eyes semi open, feeble meow emanating from wonky mouth, raised paw]: I’m so wee and poorly, please give me some food before I roll over and DIE. AT. YOUR. FEET.
SIOBHANNY [clearly moved by said cat’s plight and close to handing over entire sea bream]: Aww look at him, he looks starving, here pud, have some fish…
CAT [looking straight at Siobhanny as if she were the giver of all life] Oh, that was the best piece of fish I have ever tasted in my small, tiny life. But… wait a minute…. Now, I must steal your boyfriend’s affection, I see he has the lamb… Talk to my skinny butt, I is over you.
Yes, make no mistake – their loyalty is flaky. These cats follow their well-tuned, mucky little snouts from table to table, sussing out the softies who are willing to throw ‘just a little’ prawn their way (despite the 18 Euro price tag – ahem).
Finally, beware; a lick on the foot is not a sign that you are their special friend, you are probably just a tad salty or they are eyeing up your little pinky.
