Sonu, Ginger And Other Furry Creatures

It’s been a while since Sonu Singh had a featured spot on the blog, so let me tell you what he was up to the other day…

Our next door neighbour (the one with ‘issues’) has two lovely cats, Smudge, who is an old cat, and a kitten called Ginger. They are outdoor cats, unlike our Sonu Singh, so we often see them in our garden.

The other day, Sonu Singh and Ginger had a face off!

He is a true cutie (not as cute as our Sonu Singh though, obviously!) and they stared  each other out for ages! Ginger won’t run when we are watching him from inside, but if I was to go out, he runs away!

And the other furry creature?

Well, a little background first.

My neighbour has been recommended for 24-hour secure housing, along with her husband, as her problems are becoming too severe. They will be moving soon. Smudge and Ginger are moving with them too. (We’ll miss the kitties!)

Anyway, our neighbour knocked on my door last week, to ask me if we wanted a rabbit. Apparently, she had one and she can’t take it with her. Unfortunately, we can’t have it, but I reassured her I would ask around. Then she proceeded to tell me that the voices in her head were telling her to get a knife and slit her wrists… I got her back home safely, worried about her, and wondering about this mysterious bunny that was now on the scene…

The other night, Hubby Dearest popped out to the summer house in our garden to fetch a beer (special fridge back there for drinks!). He came back and called to me, “Ritu… I just went to get a beer, and was faced with a rather cute, fluffy bunny!”

Well, quick as a flash, I was down there, with a torch, and a partially clothed Lil Man, sans his pyjama bottoms, to go see the bunny. It was dark, and after a few seconds of adjustment, we saw him. A gorgeous fluff ball or grey, with a really fluffy head!

He was terrified, but after around 10 minutes I was able to get close enough to catch him, and pick him up!

The poor thing was shaking!

The obvious thing to do was take a selfie with him  take him home.

Oops, my camera phone slipped and took a selfie!

Yes, he looks huge, but I think it was the angle! He was so light and felt extremely slight under all that fur!

So I took him back, and it appears that the hutch was left open in error, and the little bunny, Bugsy, as I now know him, escaped into our garden!

Hubby Dearest is having ideas… I caught his suspiciously looking at something on the iPad later that night. he hid it first (hmmm…porn?!) but then gave up the device for me to peruse… he was searching about how Cats and Rabbits could get on! Someone is clearly hoping to increase our furbaby family, but no… I had to say no! Jees, he’s such a softy!!!

I am so glad we found him, though… there are foxes around our area, and he wouldn’t have survived a night…

I shan’t share the picture of the rather large, hairy spider we found on that same night, though… that was HUGE, HAIRY and SCARY!!!!!

 

Ritu’s Healthy Living – Week 7 #icandothis

healthy-living

It’s been another week of experimenting with healthy food, and cooking techniques for me!

I bought a ‘Spiralizer’ to make my own vegetable ‘spaghetti’ and tried it with a courgette… it was brilliant!

I made Slimming World Chips, and they were yummy, and Syn-Free too!

And I took a HUGE step. I don’t really like much fish, but I do try to eat it, however I can’t do king prawns, shelled or otherwise. However, i cooked some today in a stirfry, and they weren’t half bad!

Other things I have eaten this week…

I haven’t actively exercised this week, but my Fitbit tells me that I have been stepping between 12-16000 steps everyday, so that is good!

And the important bit, my loss this week was…

1lb!

Not bad after the meal out, alcohol, and cinema popcorn (And a slight chocolate blowout on Tuesday!)

So the total is

11.5lb since I started this!

Go me!!!!!

Not much more until I hit my 1 stone first target!

Bad Moms – A Review

It’s been quite a weekend for me. For a change, this mum actually had a social life! Not one event, but two!

Friday night was a party to celebrate 0ur Good Ofsted report, and yesterday my good friend took me, along with two other mums, to go and see Bad Moms for my birthday treat!

Oh, what a fantastic film! It’s not often that a film resonates almost completely with me, but I spent the film either nodding in agreement, or pissing myself laughing at what was happening!

bm1

We have a working mum who is juggling a home, and family life, two children, a jerk of a husband, and a part-time job which has become very full time.

There is another mum, who has spent her mothering career as a single mum, and has embraced the ‘slutty mom’ tag she has been given.

The final mum in the main trio is a young downtrodden housewife with 4 kids under a certain age, with an overbearing husband.

Then you get the PTA mums – you know the kind, the ones that appear to be perfect at everything, the ones who influence the thinking of all the other mums. Woe betide you if you do not conform to their idea of perfect mothering!

bm3

Here you have Alpha mum, Total Suck Up mum, and Hanger On Mum.

I won’t tell you lots about the story, but suffice to say, all four of us enjoyed it immensely and came out of it feeling like great Bad Moms! It’s a total feel-good movie, but as a mum, you will relate to so much  of it! (Hubbies and dads, might be worth watching…)

bm2

All I’ll say is ‘Get your tits up!’ (You’ll understand once you watch the film!!!)

Next stop… Brigitte Jones Baby!
