I reported on this good news story last year of a dog found stranded on a chunk of ice miles from land on the Baltic Sea.

It was touch and go when they first found him adrift and worries of him not surviving was a real possibility, during his rescue this poor little dog fell into the freezing cold temperatures of the sea many times before they got him to safety.

His rescuers sent out a plea over the world media to find the owners of the dog they nicknamed Baltic

12 months on and no one has come forward so the crew of the Baltica have Adopted Baltic and made him an official member of the crew

I stumbled across this amazing video of a performance of the Chinese a Thousand Hands Dance It took my breath away

It took 20 individuals to get this amazing effect.

I have seen one of these live at the Chinese State Circus, but it was no where near as stunning as the thousand Hands dance by this Deaf and Blind Troupe

When we went to see the Chinese State Circus we where sat on the front row smack bang in the middle When the women for the Thousand Hands came on stage dressed in there scantily glad dresses my hubby didn’t know where to look he felt uncomfortable being that close to them

I’ve decided to take enjoying life to the next level and give myself an excuse to have a party .

I thought it would be cool to rope the family into celebrating festivals, celebrations and national days for a laugh

I’ve been looking on the Internet and there are some weired stuff out there I collated a list of some of the more fun events to celebrate next month in February.

I hope you will join us in celebrating these weird and wonderful celebrations in your own way.

The whole of February is embroidery month and snack food month both sounds good to me

2nd February Ground Hog Day

I’ve just finished reading the book Terror Beneath by Rick Yancey to the family, nothing better than settling down with a good book on long winter nights.

My Hubby really liked this book

I’m a huge fan of teen horror books. I bought Terror Beneath after reading that Rick Yancey’s work was similar to that of Darren Shan who is my favourite teen horror author.

We really loved this book the story is set around a very old man who died in an old peoples home, while he was there he never spoke so know one knows who he is, all they find in his room after his death is some old journals.

We love the TV show Big Bang Theory, we’ve been avid fans since it first came on to British TV screens

We all enjoy singing along to the bare naked ladies song Big Bang Theory on the opening titles on the TV Series, but all of us would fill in the words we didn’t know with la, la la , so for the past week we all got together and have learned the words to the Big Bang Theory.

We’ve been singing it every where on our daily walks, in the kitchen or just joining in when someone else is singing the Big Bang song without noticing I woke up this morning singing it and when my hubby woke up 4 hours after me (he works late) he was singing it

It’s been a slow beginning to the year not much happening, to grey and cold to go any where.

To add insult to injury I’ve been suffering from S.A.D (seasonal affective disorder) anyone who suffers from S.A.D knows how awful it can be so I’ve been hibernating unable to pull my self out from under my warm duvet during this cold dark winter .

Instead of the usual grey skies and cold weather the sky was filled with sunshine today and it was quite warm outside for a January, the bright sky propelled me from my winter blues and I walked with a spring in my step, loving the sun on my face and thinking about how much I’m looking forward to summer.

Arrrghhh (girlie scream ) I am so excited I saw a deer in the wild for the very first time!

It was a little Muntjac.

For my new years resolution I wished to see a deer and OMG I saw one, I thought I was being over optimistic with the resolution but there it was a little muntjac deer, it walked in front of the car and disappeared into the undergrowth I’m so thrilled.

We’d gone up to Gibraltar Point to look out for shooting stars in the night sky, it was a really clear night and the opportunity to go shooting star spotting couldn’t be missed. Everyone had spotted one before me until I was lucky enough to see a Meteorite that fell horizontally from Orion’s belt and it looked like a Fleur in the sky.

This is Awesome and on my to do list.

China as a Winter Ice Festival like no other I love it when Countries create something spectacular and out of the box.

Living in the very much (too much if you ask me) reserved UK it’s wonderful to see a festival on this kind and of scale.

I was taken aback when I saw this on TV, huge Ice Sculpture on a gigantic scale beautifully lite up by coloured lights a city of ice.

China has winters nights that are -34 degrees celsius bitterly cold anyone would agree, but instead of shying away from the freezing cold temperatures China has embraced it’s Winter months and turned it into a world Spectacle of colour and ice.

Disney’s Toy Story 3 is Great!

I laugh, cried and was on the edge of my seat , I absolutely loved Toy Story 3 can’t fault it and the extras Pixar gives you with the DVD is amazing.

I thought this was the best Toy Story Film by far, the other two where a little boring if you ask me particularly the first toy story film, I enjoyed the first two Disney films just not as much as Toy Story 3.

At first it seemed TS3 was going to be the same as the other two films nice with striking animation but nothing to write home about, until the toys end up at a Sunny Side day care center then it all kicks off and the story evolves into a heart warming master piece filled with action and adventure as the toys try to escape the nursery.

I was having a bad day yesterday and my hubby cheered me up, bless him

I was tiding up our living room and I found a couple of drumstick our son had abandoned in a cupboard as well as a load of other stuff he’d crammed in their for months, after moaning about how kids are incapable of putting their things away, blackening my mood even further my hubby shouted “quick grab them drumsticks you just found” I picked them up and went to give them him when he put the Cadburys chocolate Gorilla commercial on his computer turning the volume to max.

With two drum sticks in my hand there was nothing left to do other than AIR DRUM!
