The 90's nostalgia

The 90's are back in full swing in this household , thankfully Mr T is not I repeat not wearing his shell suit ( we really can be thankful of small mercies. )Myself and Mr T hail from that decade hell I was still at school in that decade and left school in 1991 , I was married in that decade had my son in that decade ( ps I was married to Mr T ) .There was many a faux pax of fashion in this decade and the hair oh my the hair , I think at one point I looked like the lovechild of Jon Bon Jovi.

 

The teen is spending many a long day studying raiding the fridge and shuffling back to his bedroom all in preparation for university life. We aren't even really experiencing ' Kevin the teenager ' either , we never really have ( not much ;-) . He's even used his mobile to check where his house keys were then subsequently found them whilst we were talking.

The teen is working his way through the entire seasons of "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air  " which he thinks is absolutely hilarious , this is the series that was started when I was at school. My this is a complete retro shuffle ! , to think I was at school in this decade , got married in this decade and had my son is this decade is mind boggling.

The 90's were cool ,are cool and will forever BE cool I hope to high heaven if I am ever shuffled off to a nursing home they will be singing 80 and 90's songs. We are assembling a long long list of programmes that the teen needs to watch .

What's my top 90 's films to watch before anyone goes to University?

1. Lost Boys ( yes it's the 89's but still !) 

Teenage angst and vampires what more could you possibly want ?

2. Silence of the Lambs 

Beware of people beating a nice bottle of Chianti

3. The Shawshank Redemption


4. JFK

What 's not to love about the intrigue surrounding who was responsible for the death of JFK.

5. Aladdin

Everyone would very much love to have their own Genie to grant them wishes !

6 Matrix

7 Groundhog Day

8 Flatliners

Edge of your seat thriller drama !

9 Seven

The 7 deadly sins are actually that !!

10 Toy Story

Purely magical ..

In another blog post I'll talk more about some other films I loved in the 80's  and 90's but I can't leave here without mentioning the Crystal Maze especially as yesterday I found the retro vintage board game in a charity shop. I would have loved to be a contestant running run solving the puzzles although I suspect I would have been the one that was left locked up.

 

Puddle Watching Is a Rare And Noble Art

Sometimes life is just about looking and if you think that by just looking you're doing nothing then you're wrong . You actually being proactive honestly I promise you are , life is about time and how you choose to spend it can seriously impact upon you . I don't really really like a change in my routine but sometimes it's the better the devil you know . On my way home after work I decided to go straight down the lane instead of going right . Feeling a little like Alice in Wonderland in my choices ..

 

It had been raining cats and dogs so puddles of course were the prerequisite, I do love how a puddle brings out the depth of colour in the world in particular making the greens ever more lush.

I wasn't dressed really for puddle watching that day but instead opted for that rare and noble art of puddle watching. You can find stars , galaxies, planets and burning suns in a puddle there really is another world in them.

 

  

How To Bond With Your Cat

How to bond with your cat....

How to bond with your cat is an age old question that has puzzled us human beings for many millennia they demand our attention and when we give it to them they ignore us ! Make your cat feel safe is part of the bonding process and then they make sit on your iPad to demand you worship them ....

Give your cat the space it needs.

 

 Obviously your cat is going to be mightily ticked off with the snap election and subsequent weeks of political wrangling not knowing if they're coming or going. So to appease and bond with your cat why not let it watch bird videos on youtube complete with a giant squirrel thrown in and no your cat will not get square eyes.

 

 

While your cat is relaxing watching the YouTube video you could pot up a strawberry plant ! Red Candy have a really sweet cat planter where a felt tongue is soaking up some water in a little dish and priced at only £10 it's not exactly going to break the bank.

 

And with Father's Day coming up also you could also order this comical cactus desk organiser that's also magnetic to hold paperclips perfect for any stationery lover and priced at £12.99

 

Disclosure I was sent the strawberry planter and desk organiser , the black cat however is my own and subject to doing what ever it likes

I said "Good Morning" You'll never believe what happened next !

I said

"Good Morning "

You'll never believe what happened next ...

Yes that's right I got various "Good Mornings " back on twitter - amazing in this age of pumping out the content. Saying "Good Morning " particularly on Twitter is the retro equivalent of playing Frogger on social media. I feel as is I have explain Frogger basically it's a game where you direct a frog to cross the road ~it's kamikaze. Health and safety would have a absolute fit as there is no sign of a safe crossing anywhere.

Will I have as much look as I say " Good Afternoon "?

Time will tell and I will back in about 3 minutes to update this blog post , I haven't had this much fun since I discovered a Freddo Frog in my coat pocket and you know how much those things costs nowadays. OOOh the anticipation is killing me ....


Update ...

I said

"Good Afternoon " and not a dicky bird but that's probably because it it wedged between a blog post titled "Here's one you missed " or "What I wore to the park " where none of the park is actually featured.

You know all those other tireless adverts that pop up to fill ever cavity of the internet ..


"You'll not believe how Cruise ships fill their ships "

"She looked gorgeous then but it's jaw dropping how she looked now "

There is no expectation to reply to a greeting no expectation I mean I do have better things to do with my life than worry if someone is going to reply to my hellos, afternoons or evenings . The world won't stop if no one replies a little sad perhaps as you'd hope that there life beyond the sponsored content or reviews and don't get me wrong these are great in their own right but it can be overwhelming. I think this is why I love to write about anything an idea can just spring into my head and I will write about it and this is what happened when I said ..

"Good Morning " on Twitter.


I think somalia media is good although you have to be careful as it can be like a drug , you can find yourself looking for the next hit if you are not careful. I write on a whim and on a hope and on a dream * sort of sounds like a rousing speak from the film "Gladiator " ...


I don't let myself get bogged down by social media nowadays I have been there and got the t-shirt and blogged about it ~ I rise like the proverbial phoenix from the flames go and FYI I have never been the subject of Mumsnet expect that post I wrote about "Gnome Knickers '

The New Neighbours

I'm not sure about the new neighbours now I know they're not vampires as they appear in the bright sunlight. They do like to party somewhat and they dance about the place in their stripes .

They are of course the ever so beautiful Bumble Bee , they've built their home in the eaves of my human neighbours house.

I'm really enjoying #30dayswild and I was further buoyed when I found a childhood book "Fabulous Animals" by Sir David Attenborough.

 

Here are my new neighbours the Bumbke bees and aren't they marvellous !? 

 

Oh and here are my other neighbours who quite literally are hanging outside my window !

 

With all the nature close at hand I decided to strike out and be an explorerer so much so that when I saw a little girl with her grandma she said 

" That lady is on an adventure too "

 

I'm going to keep adventuring and be myself ...
