What I Would Do With A Lottoz Win

I dream of Canada.


The other day it was the 150th birthday of Canada ! I just can't think about Canada without going to sing the  national anthems of

"Oh Canada !"

I have only been to Canada once and that was on my honeymoon ~ many moons again costs on fingers ~ 20 years ago. For our honeymoon we had a dramatic start the plane engines caught fire and the control tower noticed there was smoke before we took off , so we had to escape the plane down the emergency chutes with loads of fire engines waiting. We spent our honeymoon nigh instead in Brighton as we were put up in a hotel till another plane was ready., luckily the next day we flew off without a hitch ! we went out to explore Toronto as soon as we got there so we didn't miss out on anytime exploring such a fantastic city.


I really loved Toronto it is such a vibrant city I would dearly love to go back especially if I was lucky enough to win some money at the moment perhaps on the Euro Millions on Lottoz is a website for those than are over 18 , there you can bet on lotteries from all around the world at  a click of a button . From the Euromillions with has currently a jackpot of 100 million euros to the Mega Millions win the USA which has a current jackpot of $145.All available money is going to the teen as he is going to university soon. And of course I would make sure the teen didn't go without a little treat or 2 !

I love travel and going to different places but I have only been to Canada once and that visit has really stuck in my mind , one of the other places we went to in Canada was Niagara Falls so I would combine a visit to Toronto again. Canada does really get to your heart and soul and I think I would love to go round the same time I did last time which would be around my wedding anniversary.Canada is amazing at anytime of year but to see the beautiful carpet tapestry of colour in the Autumnal trees it really is a sight to behold.

Which country would you love to go back to ?


What would you do with a lottery win  ?


I know that after university my son would really like a car as he has passed his test but as he is going to university there is no need for one as everything is on campus.

Or perhaps some improvements to the garden I know for instance my husband is itching to put some artificial grass down just so he doesn't have to mow the lawn.

Red Onion Chutney With Pineapple And Mango

 

I've been learning a few new skills from washing the car~  yes really !( I don't drive even )

The recipe below will do enough Chutney for 4 people just adjust your fruit and onion levels to suit , I will st some point make a job lot once I've got some empty jars. I'm not buying them you'll have seen the lunacy that is the cost of empty jars being more expensive than ones that have jam in.

Ingredients 

2 red onions

1 tea spoon of black mustard seeds

50 ml olive oil 

Either a pack of pineapple and mango already chopped or tinned ( and you can use the syrup but you'll need to adjust the sugar accordingly)

Brown Sugar to Taste 

Salt / Pepper

One garlic clove crushed 

2 teaspoons of chipotle ( do this do your tastes )

Method

Sweat the onions off in a saucepan for around 10-15 minutes in the olive oil, add the rest of the ingredients and season.

Gently stir and let gently simmer for about an hour or until it has a jammy consistency .

Perfect served with Gammon.

 

 

Art Of Paws Cat Shelf

 

"Jack ( the new Ninjakillercat here ) and I've been asked if I'd to test a new cat shelf ..

Does a mouse like cheese ?

Does a cat like a mouse who has eaten the cheese ?!

Of course I said yes ! you'll see from the picture above I've been perfecting my cat model pose and pout and I really really think I've nailed it ) I know a song about modelling would you like to hear it ? 

" I'm a model if you know what I mean , I do my little turn on the cat walk "

The humans beans are always taking about shelf care and I thought I want a peace of this shelf care action . I like to jump on surfaces particularly like front room window sill .

 

The cat shelf is a good idea,particularly a cat that has mountaineering aspirations and would ideally need to be put in a area the humans don't use and are unlikely to use . Perhaps putting up in a utility room or conservatory or if you any room as you can place it high enough so you don't lose valuable wall space .

The cat shelf I paw testing is from the Art of Paws and retails at £34.97 and comes with everything you need , the instructions are easy to follow and the item is packaged well. Though if you purchase this through Amazon it is selling for the amazing price of £24.97 which is a complete steal I think !

It comes with 2 covers one is a fluffy type and the other is more doormat carpet type which encourages scratching and us cats all enjoy a good scratch though we don't always scratch the things we should ( guilty look )

The box it comes with is ideal in which to rest while you watch your human bean put your cat shelf up. The shelf is curved which I really like as then I can really stretch out while my underbelly is full supported. It will support a cat that weighs up to 20 kg !

 

Coughs Cat fat farm

No you ate all the food !

Disclosure I was sent the cat shelf which my human bean put up as I have no DIY skills at all I'm a cat .

Dealing With Cat Grief

Cat Grief 





This isn't just restricted to yourself at losing a much loved pet, we lost our cat Rollie last Monday , he was a very much loved member of our family and life is one cat shaped hole at the minute. Rollie and Jack weren't related but as described in the memory post to Rollie, they were very much like  Bert and Ernie Sesame Street. They had grown together as kittens with Jack being a few months older , when Jack wasn't looking Rollie would clonk him on the head and visa visa.

 

Jack has very much been pining for Rollie and that's natural , we haven't stopped talking about Rollie at all and in doing so it helps with the loss. And I think Rollie would love that as he was very much the centre of attention even though he was shy ! he demanded that you look at how beautiful he was !!

 

So over the past 2 weeks I've had to work through my cat grief and help Jack with his , he has been my sad cat .

 

In helping Jack I've at first fed him scrambled eggs / cooked chicken and sardines , I also tried feeding him small amounts , leaving his food for longer ( which didn't work ) I've also brought him special other cat foods as a treat , we are working through his eating and we are just about cracking it now . We've also changed how we leave him during the day we used to put both cats in the kitchen when we went out but now we allow him access to the house with no access to the bedrooms . He also has toys all the place it's not unusual to find a toy mouse on the stairs . It's a time process and we still feel like Rollie will come back through the cat flap at some point . Laugh cry do what ever you need to to get through .

I was pleased when Lilly's Kitchen sent Jack some food treats to try and I think Jack appreciated the kind gesture.

 

When changing over cat food (perhaps to Lily's kitchen maybe ) make sure you do it gradually over 2-3 weeks by mixing more and more of the new food into your old stuff. Lily's Kitchen for cats offers up a new Tate and texture thanks to the simple,natural , meaty goodness the recipes are made of.

Why The World Needs Rubbish Jokes

Why the world needs rubbish jokes !

Did you hear about the painter who needed anger management?

He was having trouble dealing with his emulsions....

What's Boy Georges favourite food " Korma korma  chameleon "

These are but a few in my repatoire, I'll not be going on the comedy circuit any time soon , if I start telling a decent joke then there is something wrong drastically wrong. The world needs cheese the world needs unscripted fun the world needs me.

Did you hear about the Mexican Carpet fitter ?

It's all about the underlay underlay ...

I've yet to stroll into the realm of knock knock jokes but I'm jolly well going to have a think on them ~ you lucky people ! I blame my humour on a myriad of reasons but it's my humour and I love it and feel that it truely is one of the things that keeps me sane and for me that's is key to help me managing my depression and anxiety. I don't want to take tablet s and that is my choice and my choice alone. Humour can risk us from the darkest of situations , I love for example Monty Pthyon I've really lost count of times that the Knights of Nee have rescued me from a sad abyss.

Humour has to grab me , others can be rolling on the floor in tears as something has tickled them something rotten and I'm just " I just don't get" . I do have a sense of humour bypass a majority of times and can't get many a type of humour but give me say the Goodies, Monty Pyhthon, The Fast Show , The 2 Ronnies , Fawlty Towers , Ealing Street comedies etc and I'm sniggering away with the best of them. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong time and that I'm actually older than my years!

Humour is personal but humour is also collective .

My husband likes Miranda where as I don't , I think it's blooming awful and I was secretly relieved when the series ended , neither do I like Michael Mcinytre but as I said humour is personal and it's also collective . As a family we enjoy Lee Evans and it has us howling and crying laugher tears.

So you see the world needs rubbbish jokes and the world very much needs me.
