Can you believe that it's March 2015!!
I don't know if it's been since I hit the big 50, but time for me has sped up and my days are full and gone before I know it there's so much I want to do, shit it's almost like times running out.
I really have to pull myself together and relax. I'm not dying but I want to do so much living that it can do my head in!

Do you ever feel like this? Most of the time I have to take a deep breath and bring myself back to what I'm doing right now and just let the other stuff go....... I'm working on it.
Oscar's first bath.
Yes I love our Kuching (cats) but "boy oh boy" they drive us crazy sometimes.
As you know we went to Villa Kitty the rescue centre for cats here in Ubud to get a kitten and found two little beauties who were dumped in a bag on the side of the road in Uluwatu.
Pamela and George were doing quite nicely as our only children.......(indulged I would say) until the new kids arrived, whilst visiting a neighbour (who broke her hip in a fall then got up and walked to her bed, not to rise again for 6 months as it was too painful and who now walks with a lopsided gait) I found myself sitting on her verandah when the naughty Linoo and Ario dropped two pox ridden barely breathing 5 week old kittens Oscar and Ted in my lap.
Of course I had to bring them home and give them their first meal and of course Ken fell in love with them, cleaned up their mange and before we knew it they were shacked up with Pamela and George and we now had a family of four cats 5 birds and a heap of Koi fish.
All four of them after what Pamela has under the bag!
Yes Yannik it's another snake!
Well Pamela is the only girl and her passion is snakes and as you know she regularly brings young Pythons into the house an average of around one a week and Ken has to patch it up and take it back out to the rice field.
Baby Ted with the mange.
Oscar is the whinger and big fat Georgie boy suffers from PTSD and sucks your T shirt whenever he gets the chance.
Ted is the adreniln junkie and has fallen off tall buildings ....twice and survived!!!

Well the other day Ken and I were sitting watching the TV when Ted flew down the stairs and ran under the coffee table, thank god Ken noticed he had something yellow in his mouth.....our canary.
Well I jumped up and started carrying on (I don't do dead things very well) and Ken took Ted out of the room, Yannik the Bird Lady flew down the stairs and the next thing I knew she was up in the spare room with doors and curtains drawn sitting on the floor and we were out of bounds.
What transpired from all of this was that Yannik had been feeding the birds and she put the canary's cage on the floor and reached for the bird seed when in a flash Ted had opened the door to the cage reached in grabbed the bird and taken off!!!!!!!

Ken told me to prepare for the worst as he was pretty sure that the canary's lung would be punctured.
We stayed away from the room until the next morning when I said to Ken " you go and look to see if he's still here" next thing Ken is hanging up the cage once again with the canary very much alive and well.
Yannik told us that it would probably take a month for him to sing again and Ken thought that he might never sing again. When there we were 10 minutes later sitting down to breakfast when we here this glorious sound Koming the canary was singing his little heart out, can you believe it???? I don't know what that Yannik did but she's a miracle worker.What is it with these birds here?

Oh yeah and remember Uncle Wayan's green bird well he's run away from home and Yannik saw him in her back yard of course she tried to catch him but didn't quite make it.....watch this space!
Ted got into the neighbours kitchen last week where he scored himself some Ikan (fish), it came at a cost though he was covered in stinky old cooking oil!
Just quickly, on the weekend it was Cahaya's 6 month old ceremony, she is now allowed to go into the temple with her family. What a chubby happy baby she is, except for when she's with Ken and I, she still gets a shock when she sees us like most babies in the village they can't believe what they're seeing 2 white people with white hair! They either scream or burst into tears it's so reassuring hahahaha.
Sorry it's been a while since you've heard from me, and thank you everybody for your positive feedback hence this lengthy Blog :)
Looking forward to catching up again soon
love J.
