Clues That Cats Do Sulk

People say a dog shows loyalty and cats are just aloof , aloof yes and very much unrivalled in their disdain in fact nothing can ignore you like a cat . If you've not been ignored by a cat then well you're in for a treat when you are ignored and you'll finding yourself pleading to be loved by them in a Shakespearean way. Cats sulk for a number reasons and we would really be here all day if we went into each and every reason why they sulk and show utter disdain that you are even breathing the same air as them !

Despite what science behaviour animal experts think I honestly believe that the arrogance is genuine and the cat is Infact trying to overpower me . So in the style of a magazine story from the 1980s I give you ....

The Snub

"Hi Rollie I'm back from the Spa !! I missed you "

Rollie " Did you miss me , did you really ?!"

" Let's talk about it , we can solve any problem !"

Rollie " Who are you again ?!"

Meanwhile downstairs with Jack 

Jack " I love you , I missed you "

"You promise this isn't superficial love ?!"

Disclosure All the actors in this photo story are played by the cats themselves Rollie and Jack . 

Time To Relax

I've just come back from a Spa with my good friend , when I travelled up on the train my imagination was working overtime thinking that certain people who were in the train woukd be great characters in a book.

From the dark and brooding hyper intelligent Bond Villain.

To the glorious relaxing of a Spa where the world is left behind and people tell all in a confessional to people they're are priests and have a taste for porridge in more ways than one.

Life's a very place for me now than it was 2 years ago and I've not as much panic time ( excerpt st Waterloo station the other day when I had to get the tube to Euston ) I'm so very grateful for those that show empathy to me. I think now I've the right friends that suit me but I'm still learning and I do find conversation awfully hard you wouldn't think it if do actually talk to you . Even as an introvert you want things to be just right so nothing ruffles your world , I'm scared of my own opinion at times but that's changing , different opinions are brilliant . How discuss your opinion matters and I dislike being beaten down but instead enjoy healthy debate so I'm evolving constantly in my braveness . 

This is me 2 years on from a breakdown I might short circuit at times but the repair time is quicker .

  

Williamson Tea

Tea that helps the habitat of elephants has to be a good thing.



There is a train of thought saying you shouldn't add milk to Earl Grey as the oil of Bermongment is citrus after all and will curdle., but the only way it will curdle is if you add in the milk before so add a spot of milk in after and everything will be



"Ticka Tea Boo "


Williamson Tea


Williamson Tea has a tremendous heritage they are 5th generation tea farming business  decimated to growing high quality teas which are sustainable





Earl Grey is cenormanous with Downtown Abbey well basically think of your favroutite old fashioned Auntie that that is where Eral Grey sits, certain Earl Greys can be quite frankly like an overpowering Po Pourri. I'm not really if I'm honest a fan of Earl Grey I much prefer a refreshing Breakfast tea or a tongue tingling fruit tea , but if I was presented with a Williamson Earl Grey I wouldn't turn my nose up at it just so long as it had a splish of milk in it.

The First Step To University

The First Step To University

We are just beginning our journey to the world of University and I promise you it won't be posts about empty nest syndrome I am not that type of person , and anyway I will be able to Facebook him , text him and so for * insert wink emoji ( to show hipness ) Really the journey to University starts before they get to 6th when they are seeing what avenues lay before they indeed you don;t have to go to 6th form to get to University it is one of the many routes that you can take.

The first stage is going to really get an idea of career straight after GCSEs but as in our case this has been subject to change , they need to have some idea as this will have a bearing on the A levels they will take. Initially with A levels they'll choose 4 subjects with the option to drop one after the first year of A levels , currently it is looking like J will be dropping Biology but we'll see after exam results .

They will have access to more information at school then they will tell you , trying to get any information out of a teenager is like trying to get blood out of a stone . Also there will be U C A S fairs where they will be bombarded with literature from various universities all scrambling for their attention. This is hopefully where your teen will finally decide upon a career or least a degree subject they wish to study .

We've just about finished the first year of A levels and been through the trauma of exams and it's bloody hard I tell you the whole family is on edge till the exams are finished , then they launch into the start of second year of A levels before summer.

And we've just started driving lessons that is a whole level of worry and expense at the same time but teens seems to have this inner level of courage and calm they can tap into !!

Upon A Field

Upon a field I stood looking at the stormy sky 

Pondering the shopping and the dust that belies the every busyiness of the every day 

Pop to the post office and back to flick around the dust oh why can't the dust stop !

The cat walks in and looks upon me , the husbands not there to give it treats you see ....

The teen has dusted , vacuumed within an inch of his life , I check if his soul is possessed no the grind of the books has spurned a yearn for normality oh what a ponderous site !

So today I stood before a stormy sky 

How wonderful life is dust and all
