  • Osho- Never ask love from people who didn't find love in their life ...

    Osho – ‘Sa nu cerem iubire unor oameni care nu au cunoscut iubirea in viata lor”. “ Iubirea care provine din minte este intotdeauna iubireura. Nu este vorba de doua cuvinte, este vorba intotdeauna de un singur cuvant ‘iubireura”; intre ele nu exista nicio linie despartitoare. Iubirea provenita din inima este intotdeauna dincolo de dualitate ... Fiecare cauta acea iubire care depaseste dragostea si ura; din nefericire, cautarea are loc prin intermediul mintii, si acest fapt genereaza neferi… (read more)

  • more sad news

    It is with a heavy heart I report the loss of Sooty,that little ball of mischief. He didn't come home on Thursday night which is something he has never done before.

The tale is he picked the cat up and rushed it to a vets,we are trying to trace the origin of this story. Of course we are all still hoping but thi… (read more)

  • The Streets of N19: Part 9

    Giesbach Road, N19

    Last year I photographed all the streets in my home postcode - N19 - and intended to blog about them as I went. Although I finished the photography side of the project the blog lagged behind. Now I have a bit more time, I'm intending to catch up with it. To those of you who have followed this so far, thanks for your patience in waiting for the next episode. I'll try not to be so erratic in posting from now on. (Sounds a bit like a New Year resolution but half of the year has almost passed already!) Saturday 3 May 2014 I had to go to the sorting office on Hornsey Road to pick up a package and decided to snap up a few streets along the way.

  • The Fog Comes (Then Moves On)

    In 1878, Carl Sandburg wrote: The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on. Nearly 140 years later on April 3, 2015, Sandburg’s descriptive poem transcended the paper on which it was written. The words leapt off the pages and a thick blanket of fog rolled across the Long Island Sound on “little cat feet.” For a time, it sat over the water, shrouding Long Island and also the landscape across Larchmont Harbor in… (read more)


  • Dear Kitten

    I just love this advert for Friskies cat food. I hadn't realised how many have been produced. I do hope you like this as much as I do. The droll sense of humour and sarcasm by the grey cat is just wonderful. youtu.be/G4Sn91t1V4g https://youtu.be/m0Cd0xOHx7Q https://youtu.be/XNnU78TaSZs https://youtu.be/3yNSF7ljOoU
