Good morning my loyal citizens
As you know I am Lulu the cat, Princess of the Somerset Levels, and you will know I have been imprisoned for some years now by two heartless humans who feel I do not have enough common sense to venture outside alone!
Of late I have found a great new trick which will soon I am sure, result in breaking the neck/necks of my captors....
The staircase here at the prison is quite steep and I have found that if they are walking down the stairs, I can run towards them very fast and cause them to slip. They appear frightened of stepping on me and lift their legs to avoid crashing into me. The result - they slip and I'm sure one day soon, will fall the length of the stairs and get the just rewards they so rightly deserve.
I have also found that when they are walking at speed through the house, running around them and across their path also causes a similar effect.
I have been sharpening my claws of late and take every opportunity to pierce their toes when they appear at the foot of their bed or out of the water in their bath. They see this as me "playing" but I know better!
I will continue my fight for freedom and will update you all soon.
HRH Princess Lulu of the Levels

I just watched an intriguing programme on the National Geographic "Wild" channel telling of fault lines in Europe and in particular the dangers of possible earthquakes here in the UK.
Now we all know about the dangers facing people living on the infamous San Andreas Fault n the USA, but did you know there is a fault line that runs under Somerton in Somerset?
The programme showed seismologists tracking faults and cracks across Europe that could cause a massive earthquake at some time in the future, and possibly sooner than later! London and parts of the UK could well be hit. However, previous quakes in the past have caused splinter-cracks that run across Europe and across Southern Britain. Volcanoes that were thought to be dead, may not be!
The programme posed the question that if Britain doesn't believe it is in danger from earthquakes, is it ready for such an event should it happen?
We have seen smaller quakes hit the UK in recent years in East Kent, Dudley in the West Midlands and one that stretched from Grimsby to the Lake District the width of the UK. But what if a larger quake hit - would our emergency services be prepared? The answer is quite frankly NO.
It was a very interresting and thought-provoking documentary.

For some years now I have been addicted to a computer game called Football Manager. It used to be called "Championship Manager" and is a tactical strategy game where you manage a football club and deal with everything from buying and selling players, to arranging tactics for the matches ahead.
Up until recently I was winning everything, the premiership, the cups, European competition and even got appointed as Manager of the Portugese international side lol! But of late, I have managed to get myself sacked from four clubs on the trot after an abysmal series of results!
Now this got me wondering how "successful proven tactics" can suddenly stop working and amount to failure? So for a moment, let's take this computer game into real life....
If you have used a set method for success in your life, and suddenly it stopped working and turned into failure, what would you do to rectify that? Why do you think successful methodology can suddenly become unsuccessful? What changes around you to make things that once worked well, not work now?
Sometimes these computer games can in themselves provide solutions for you in real life, by showing that sometimes drastic or even subtle changes are needed as times, people and events around you evolve.

They say that phoenix rises from the ashes, and when a door closes, another one always open, well all I can say is watch this space!
For several days I have been yelling at the universe to stop kicking me and start helping me and it wasn't until yesterday that I remembered WE control the universe by our moods, thinking and creativity. We manifest our own luck, and likewise BAD luck!
So whilst I am sitting around waiting for the universe to wave it's magic wand, I am sitting on the very wand I need to wave! That power is inside us all, the power to make the every changes we wish and hope for.
I am feeling refreshed and ready for the challenges ahead and that may mean some very significant changes and perhaps some unexpected moves to stay ahead of the field and to develop the new projects as well as completing unfinished old projects!
We learn from day to day as we go through this test that we call life, and if we fail to learn from any mistakes we may have made, then it's like being sent back to the starting board. ONLY when we learn from these occurences can we move on from them.
Today is the start of the rest of my life, and however long or short that may be, I'm going to damn well enjoy it!

I am pleased to see that the Daily Mail has started a campaign to stop the extradition of Gary McKinnon, it's about time one of the daily's got behind this case!
Of late, pop stars, senior politicians and journalists have finally supported the campaign and come out backing Gary, and not before time!
Gary was a guest on my Friday night show Now THAT'S Weird some time ago, and since then I have been campaigning on his behalf, because under British law everyone is INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty. So how can the UK government condone extraditing him to the USA without first proving he is guilty of the charges the USA are putting forward?
If you read the initial charges against Gary when he was arrested (and allegedly told he may get a few weeks community service), and then read the USA's claims of what damage he did some years LATER, you have to ask a few questions about the US's claims in this matter!
This man is no "super-hacker", he is an Aspergers Syndrome sufferer that just wanted to find out the truth about UFO's, but what he allegedly stumbled across when he found his way into the NASA system (which apparently wasn't even properly protected) has obviously infuriated the US authorities as it shows them to have lied about various UFO and "off planet" issues!!!
One of the things Gary found was a document relating to "non-terrestrial officers" serving for the US government!
Gary should NOT be extradited, he should be tried under UK law in the courts closest to his home where the alleged "hack" took place, in line with current UK law.

Wookey Hole is a local tourist attraction that likes to get a bit of publicity when it can and their latest PR quest involves offering £50,000 to a cackling old hag! lol
Yes, they want a new witch at Wookey and the "pro rata" salary is based on a £50k annual package!
Now they didn't NEED nationwide publicity to fill this role, Glastonbury is full of cackling old "women" many of whom SHOULD be shipped to Wookey Hole and left there, with the spills shared between them! Glastonbury would be a much better place without some of them lol!
Seriously though, if that job is worth £50k then I'm obviously in the wrong profession!
Last time we approached Wookey to support Glastonbury Radio with a spot of advertising, they said they had no budget left lol! Perhaps we should have told them we woiuld throw in a few old witches!
