Pets in London

Saturday, May 10th, 2008 | Weird & Strange with No Comments »

Now when I saw this video I immediately thought about pet owners in London. Let’s face the fact that London should have been called Matchbox City as there is no space for anything. That always makes me think about the poor pets that so many owners in keep their small flats / houses.

This is actually a great idea for taking your cat / dog for a walk, not very practical but these two cats beg to differ. Check out the video to see what I mean.

 

Ladybug London

Ok, I know this is my second post for today but something freaky is happening in London and I had to share it with you folks. I was browsing around other blogs last night when I stumbled across a blog that mentioned an increase of ladybugs in London. How weird is that, that today of all days I discovered around eight ladybugs by my window. Something is not right here, or is it.

Two weeks ago we had a lot of bees flying in and out of our flat, luckily only one at a time and not a whole swarm which made me think that we probably have a nest nearby. They seemed to have calmed down a lot now that it is getting colder. I took photos of the ladybugs hauting us, damn ladybugs are so small, the camera did not want to zoom in properly.

London Junk Food

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007 | Weird & Strange with 2 Comments

It is quite sad to see how many people live in London that can not cook a proper meal. We had this debate at work the other day and I asked a few of the people if they cook at home and their responce was “Uhmm NO”. I was shocked to see that so many of them living in this expensive city still don’t cook for themselves. I know we travel a lot and it takes a lot of time out of your day but seriously, you need proper food in your body as well.

Londoners love junk food whether it be McDonalds, the Kebab shop or even a big fry-up would make them happy. You see kids wandering in the streets stuffing their faces with junk with chips or eating a piece of chicken from the hordes of fried chicken shops open in London. Food in London is not that expensive and you can really make a good meal out of just about everything here and afford it as well. No wonder chefs like Jamie Oliver is making a killing by “educating” the masses with recipes and simple ideas to have a healthier diet than eating junk all day!

I like junk food just as much as the next person but seriously… you need a proper meal in your body as well! All that additives and oil can not be good for you! *Urghhh*
