Yummy chocolate cherry treats don’t last long and if I keep buying them, then they are no longer treats!
Only eight in the box, everyone tasty and sweet. With that sharp cherry tang.
I’d buy them every week, but they are not good for me. I swore not to eat as much sugar, but I think I’m addicted to it!
Only savoury treats now? I don’t know, the temptation is too great. Definitely wrapped in red for danger.
If you get to have a treat, enjoy.
She purrs
She sleeps
She loafs.
Upon my bed
In the warm.
No space for me
My feet
My hands
My body
My head
Overcome by a cat!

I have a good visual memory and this is from my imagination.
I decided to make myself a treat. Take a glass, add one shot of Irish coffee liqueur and add a mini dark chocolate and vanilla ice-cream on a stick. Plus a teaspoon.
Let the ice-cream melt so the centre is soft but the dark chocolate is still crunchy. Break off into the Irish coffee liqueur…..remove the stick.. Spoon out the tasty treat to enjoy.
I’m biting the bullet
Not chewing the fat…
Buying a ‘puter
That’s not as fat
Slimmed down and sleek
But reconditioned too
Saving me money
Not brand new
Might do more art
For a start.
When I promised to cut down
On sugary foods
I didn’t notice this cheese cake
Lingering just
Out of sight
The chocolate dot
Sat on the counter
Looking for a companion
To contrast with the cherry swirls
Give me strength
Never to return
To this cafe
On pain
Of chilli sauce
Poured on my dessert!
My Cat is black and white so when he comes in from the rain he often looks like an otter. He’s like that tonight but it’s too dark to get a decent photo so here’s a little illustration I did of a cat walking through the rain… He looks very fed up!
I do hate it when people hype astronomical events. If you’ve ever watched a meteor shower you know it doesn’t look like this! It’s cloudy here so I’m unlikely to see anything..
Some showers have a lot of meteors or meteorites (the ones that land).
I’ve commented on the post:
It won’t look like this. The Leonids radiate from the constellation Leo (the direction they come from, not the actual stars). They won’t look like blue fireballs, just thin fast streaks of light shooting through the night sky. Unless a large chunk of material falls through the atmosphere. But it’s worth looking up, usually after local midnight. You can really see some great shows if the weather is clear.
For info go to spaceweather.com or look up details at the BBC’s The sky at night TV programme.
A relative just knitted this blanket for winter as a Christmas present. I’d ask her to make me one but I think it would take her too long. Maybe I could by extra thick wool and large needles to make it grow faster?
I’m going to ask. I admire her tenacity x
One of my favourite flowers is the poppy, Papa er.
Different shapes, sizes, and colours.
Oriental poppies (large reds and pinks), californian poppies (small and orange) , Welsh (yellows), Himalayan (largish, pale blue) wild British poppies (reds, pinks and white), some are called Shirley’s mixed or ladybird with black splodge.
Their petals are enclosed in bulbous green capsules until they open to display paper petals that unfurl into lovely flowers. A central large seed head like a pepper shaker is left to dry and mature after the petals fall.
Poppy juice is collected and has been used in medicine over the ages, but this can be dangerous. Don’t do anything but admire the flowers beauty.
