And It's Goodnight From Me - Spike

Spike is a sleek and agile tabby tomcat. He is a very shy gentleman, preferring mog company to human. Spike loves to play with anything that dangles, though being so shy he is kind enough to leave shoe laces alone. Spike loves being outside and will even venture out on colder days, snow and rain are no obstacle for a hardened bird watcher. His favourite sleep place is on top of the wardrobe. Spike is extremely agile and elegant in his movements. He is a good natured cat and rarely get into scrapes with the other cats, in fact he doesn't like conflict at all and would rather walk away. Spike comes out of his shell a little when catnip is on the go and will even get up on my bed for a few of the buttons.

600 Seconds at Lunch - Where does the light go when the switch is turned off

I believe light somehow travels to relax in the fridge when you turn off the switch. Every time you open the fridge door there it is shining out. So I think the fairies that make light take it there when its not needed. While the door its shut it sleeps ready for when it is needed again. When we open the door we wake it up and its shines out briefly till we shut the door again, allowing it to return to its dreams. Now there begs the question 'What does light dream of?' Perhaps it dreams of finding the darkest places and helping to make our world an enlightened one. The light fairies magic light to help us see our way maybe they also help us to see magic too.

Morning Pages - What is the difference between love and lust

What is the difference between love and lust? Love is about caring, supporting, and accepting another person. Lust is the need for instant gratification or instant attraction. Lust can indeed lead to a deep and loving relationship. Lust is that initial physical attraction between two people; it does not see the inner being or deeper value of the individual. It is just about sexual need and desire. Love is when that desire and need can be put to one side and the other needs of life can be met. Love is finding your partner attractive when they are bedraggled and wet not just when they got their glad rags on and their hair is brushed and neat. Love does not need the rose tinted glasses of fantasy it is part of reality. Love is holding your lover's hand when they are hurting to offer support not to get them between the sheets. Sex between a couple in love is awesome the needs of both being important. Lustful sex is only about sating your own sexual need and wants.

And It's Goodnight From Me - Morgana

Morgana is a quiet and elegant queen cat. She is very refined which is fitting as she is named after Morgana le Fe. Morgana never makes a song and dance out of life and just gracefully backs off if the other cats are causing mischief. Her best friend and constant companion is her sister Stripe and she is also close to her brother Pierrot. Morgana like a gentle cuddle and fuss, but hates noise. She is not too fond of children as they make too much noise. Morgana loves her egg milk shake and a few catnip buttons as a treat before curling up on top of the wardrobe for her sleep. She is not too shy to come out into the living room, if there are no kids about to sit on the back of the couch elegantly and ask for a fuss. She is not a lap cat and rarely if ever sits on a human. In the summer, Morgana likes to sit out side watching the world go by or dozing in the sun. She's not keen on being outside in winter and will only venture out on dry warmer days.

600 Seconds at Lunch - If I was a muppet which muppet am I

Which Muppet am I? Miss Piggy I guess, as I adore Kermit. I am opinionated and mouthy with it just like the diva piggy. So yes, I think Miss Piggy would be me. I used to watch the Muppets as a teen, definitely a step up from the puppet TV shows we had when I was a small child. Bill and Ben and Andy Pandy still have a place in my heart though, even Muffin the Mule too. I was raised on these characters and Trumpton and Camberwick Green too. I think every kid had a knitted Lamb Chop too, courtesy of our mothers reading Woman's Weekly and Jean Greenhowe's knitting patterns. I even used her patterns when my own children were small making them scarecrows and pirates, and baby clothes for Tiny Tears and high fashion for Barbie for my nieces. Now I knit when I get chance with a knitting machine long gone are the painstaking hours of knit one purl on a pair of needles. Can't say I miss that really. It has left me free to pursue other interests and hobbies that maybe I would never have done. Now for the first time I am having to type I don't know what to write in my free write 10 minutes. Shocked I am devastated or does it mean I am typing faster... is that a good thing!
