Psychic Sunday with the *Amazing Batu*




Sunday rolls around pretty quickly my friends! Here we are again, about to look at what the week has in store for us......

If you have forgotten how this works, here is the link to my original blog post to learn about my weekly affirmations:

Todays card is The Cat That Got the Cream.




The affirmation on the back of this card is:

"Spoil yourself. You deserve it."

I totally love the sound of this one. Spoiling myself, that would be long lazy sleep-ins, mince for dinner, Friskies for breakfast and Temptations in between....then more sleeping in the sun, or snuggled somewhere warm...oh, wait, that is what I already do! Okay, throw a servant in, and then I am spoilt....:-)

Have a wonderful Sunday and try to be spoilt somewhere, at sometime, by someone.....

Psychic Sunday with the *Amazing Batu*




Terrible week for cats here - good one for ducks! Rain, rain, rain...and it doesn't matter which door I try to go out - the weather is the same at the back door and the front door! *sigh*

But enough about my wet week - lets get down to business....if you forget how this works, here is the link to my original blog post to learn about my weekly affirmations:

Todays card is Democat.




The affirmation on the back of this card is:

"Stand up for what you believe in."

Well there are State Elections on at the moment so this might be the time to start my campaign for more friskies for breakfast, or more ham for lunch, or maybe I will push for roast turkey for dinner? I like the picture on this card...Purrs for Peace.....let's all do that instead.

Have a wonderful Sunday and make sure you stand up for what YOU believe in!

Sad news about Colin



Can you remember I farewelled my buddy Colin the Fox Terrier on his round Australia Odyssey. I know that a few of you followed his travels on his blog:

Colin's blog

And this is when they visited before going on their trip....

My blog entry of when Colin came to dinner

His Mum, Marilyn, was much better at sending group emails that I know Vicki and Paul loved receiving. Well, we just got a really sad update to say that Colin passed away.

Back in January, Marilyn discovered lumps in his neck and the vet confirmed lymphoma (cancer in the lymph glands). They decided that as he was so healthy otherwise, and only 7-1/2 years old, to go for the aggressive chemotherapy treatments. Colin had two chemo treatments but then his liver got into trouble....the vet says the antibiotics he had to take every day because of his low white blood cell count, coupled with the chemo drugs, and we presume the lymphoma, have all attacked his liver. On Thursday 3 March, Colin passed away in the company of his Mum & Dad, Marilyn and John.

I know you will join with me in sending out our very best wishes and thoughts to them while they deal with loss. Colin was very special to them.

Colin was my inspiration and mentor. When I saw that he was doing a blog for his Around Australia Odyssey, that's when Vicki and I knew that we could do a blog too. Thanks Colin for showing us the way.

RIP Colin.

Psychic Sunday with the *Amazing Batu*



This has been an awesome week - lots of sunshine and lazing around......but not so good for others with that huge earthquake in Japan. Lucky no tsunamis here (I live 1000m above sea level). But we have had some scary storms in the last 24 hours....

Anyhow, if you are new to my blog, check out the link to my original blog post to learn about my weekly affirmations:

The affirmation on the back of this card is:

Enjoy your Sunday!

Todays card is Kitten.




The affirmation on the back of this card is:

"Find the joy in simple things. Concentrate on having fun."

Well I think this card has turned up because there are a few new kittens turning up in the Cat Blogosphere....
Huffle is being very tolerant of her new little bro, Teddy...Huffle's blog
And recently d'Artagnan Rumblepurr welcomed Lance Corporal Minimew in his home...Rumblepurr's blog

Are there any other new kittens out there I have missed? Anyway, I still act like a kitten so will be taking my own advice and finding the joy in the simple things and definitely concentrating on having fun fun fun!

Enjoy your Sunday!

Like my cool sleeping spot?




In the warm summer months, I test out lots of places that may have a cool breeze, some cool concrete or a breeze rustling through leaves. I think this spot ticks all my boxes and I also get to curl up with the front door mascot, Brimstone.
