Welcome to Cat Politics 2015

"It looks like Larry is back in at 10 Downing street , I like Larry he tried to eat a journalist once * so what is not to like. Larry is pretty chilled and I am always watching the television when that big black door of 10 Downing Street on to spot Larry.

With the Conservative humans back in I have heard from Larry that he faces austerity measures when it comes to feeding as gasp Mr Cameron said he is meant to be a mousing cat. I held onto my cat majority in Derbyshire I campaigned vigorously from my cat basket, the sink, the sink bowl and from behind the door and the ultimate the top of the stairs to scare the bejesus out of everyone.

Me on my soap box.

What is my manifesto I hear you ask ?


1. 23 hours naps for all .

2. A nice basket to sleep in with your very own pinky bear.

3. As much toilet paper and kitchen roll as you want to shred.

4. That brand of cat food you like  but then you won't like but will like.

5. Nail file.

6. Only Bow tie NO collars that make you  sound like either bloody Noddy or a manic Morris dancer are out.

7. Tummy tickles and biting your human bean.

8. Classic FM 24 hours a day and a copy of the Guardian.

9. The right to hiss at nothing that is there.

10. The right to walk to the front door loop round and come in through the cat flap * repeating this action to your hearts content.



I am a politician trust me.

Filling The Frame #Filltheframe

During my Instagram ramblings I became aware of Capture By Lucy's fill the frame which is encouraging you to basically fill your frame of your photographing medium. And the other day at a rugby / BBQ presentation I did exactly that. With my camera what I see in my minds eye is what I like to capture on film no wonder it takes me yonks to get anywhere but ooh what a sun kissed journey in Spring it is.

Sadly not my garden but that of a good friend and ooh what a mystical fairy garden it is , if that was my magical garden I would never ever leave it . A blooming beautiful blue bell wood is a gladenning sight of the heart soul and mind.

What Would You Do With A Spare £100 ?

What would I do with a spare £100 ? the word spare would indicate that the £100 would be all mine!. Oh the things I could myself like a metal watering can , I spied just the watering can at the local garden centre but it was deemed too expensive at £24.99 by Mr T; the very same Mr T who wants an Apple watch. Sharp intake of breath let's not go there shall we ?!

I think I would like to go on a trip to the Harry Potter Studios and stop over , I think this would be a shade over the 100 but a few sacrifices would suffice. It us amazing how frugal you can be when needs be. When we went to Florida the other year we went to Universal so Harry Potter World weaved its magic. Now Mr T and J went on the Harry Potter ride where you are flying on a broomstick. I however have the courage of Ron Weasley and the Cowardly Lion combined , and choose instead to have a swift Butterbeer. Least I was able to walk round Hogwarts without screaming my head off.

My son is approaching his GCSE's and he has his head screwed on when it come stop his revisions and it is myself trying to get him to relax, he has never been a troubled teen no slamming doors or anything really. So going to Harry Potter studios would be a nice treat for us a family as he grew up with the Harry Potter films and it was very much a family staple each  magical Christmas time.

I love that 78%  believe things improve with time the adage I apply to myself is that I am like a fine wine that improves over time! Improvement for me is also on a personal level this morning for example I have tacked the garden and baked flapjacks ( and now I am drinking tea after this domesticated surge) You see I have been not only improving myself but also the garden and this will pay dividends twofold.
