Sue-Ann is selling her brand spanking new coop as she doesn’t use it - see below:

I have made a very difficult decision and am selling my beloved mini.

I have got a new job and can now walk to work (reducing my carbon footprint - yay!). So poor CoopS has been sat in the garage pretty much the whole time since then!

In order to save money for the wedding and to also give someone else the pleasure of owning and driving this amazing specimen of a Mark 2 Mini Cooper S, I have made the decision to sell it. A car like this needs to be driven and should not be subjected to a life locked up in a garage!!

I have advertised it on www.autotrader.co.uk - here it is!:

3 Doors, Manual, Hatchback, Petrol, 4,448 miles. Chili Red with White Roof with alternating White/Red/White Twin Viper stripes. Chili Pack, Spot Lamps, 17″ Web Spoke Alloys, Auto-Dim Interior Mirror, Darkened Rear Glass, Automatic Stability Control, Multi-function Leather Sport Steering Wheel - Cruise Control and I-pod connector, Air Conditioning, Chrome-Line Interior, Half Leather Sports Seats, Mirror Caps in White, Visibility Pack (Rain/light sensor), Heated Mirrors & Washer Jets, Aerodynamic Bodykit, Alarm/Immoboliser, E/W, PAS, ABS, Six airbags, Ambient Lighting, Run-Flat tyres. 1 Owner, VAT Qualifying Vehicle, MINI TLC Service pack. £19,995.

This really is a lovely car. I am no salesperson so there is no bullsh*t. What you see is what you get. The car is in immaculate condition as you would expect from the low mileage.

If you are interested, contact details are on the autotrader ad.

the video is back on You Tube, not sure for how long or if it will again infringe copyright details but it definitely worth seeing. This video has since been taken off of You Tube for copyright reasons (boo!). You can however view the vid here.

Years ago, a father ran a marathon, pushing his son in a wheelchair whilst doing so. Afterwards his son told him that during the run, he did not feel disabled.

Since then, they have run many many races together…

Whilst he is carrying his son from the water to the bike, everyone is applauding how amazing it is, his father has the expression on his face like it is the most normal act in the world, and that for me is what makes it so touching - how not everyone would do that, but for him there is no question.

If you love animals, particularly wolves, or if you believe in the old stories that wolves are ferocious, untameable and unpredictable predators, then you should definitely take a look at living with wolves.

It is the story of Jim and Jaime Dutcher, who set out to film and document a pack of wolves in the Sawtooth Forest in Idaho. To disprove the common opinion of wolves, to help us understand them better and to encourage us to work to prevent these wonderful animals from becoming extinct.

Watch it watch it watch it. If you don’t - you’re gay!

The Humane Society of the United States are running an appeal to help save seal cubs in Canada from being clubbed to death for their fur. It reports on how cubs are killed from as young as 2 months old, and often die slowly, drowning in their own blood as a result of being hooked and dragged along the snow.

Visit the protect seals page to view the full report on what really goes on, and how we can help stop it, and click on the image above and sign the pledge to help end this cruel act.

Or should that be site? No sight. Both will do. Look at this website - madein-mtl.

To me this is what the perfect site is. Fantastic textures and graphics that make you yearn to be able to create it’s equal. Sniff sniff cry cry :*(

Stumbling around the internet - as you do, I came accross a quality fun site called cute overload. A collection of photographs of cute animals, some funny, some happy, some sad, some cute.

If you get a spare twenty minutes while you are at work or at home, or if you need cheering up or to have a smile put on your face, take a little looksie at this site … magic!

Long ago when the world was new, a child was born in Pueblo in New Mexico.

He had a large head and grew very tall. His name was Kokopelli. The other children in the village teased Kokopelli because he looked different.

The Medicine Man seeing this problem decided to make Kokopelli a clown. “See Kokopelli, people will laugh with you not at you.”
Kokopelli became a wonderful clown and entertained the villagers at all the dances and festivals but at night he would climb into the hills and cry because he really did not want to be different.

One night he cried so loud that he could be heard throughout the universe where Spiderwoman was hanging the stars. She called to Kokopelli to come to her, so up he climbed into the universe and told Spiderwoman his sad story.

“You have a good heart Kokopelli and deserve a reward. Go fill your back with stars.” So he did. Then Spiderwoman gave Kokopelli a magic flute.
“Go back to earth and play this flute from village to village. The music will be so beautiful it will fill the people’s hearts with joy. The joy will make their feet dance.
The dancing will make the joy rise into the clouds and the clouds will cry tears of joy which will water the three sisters: corn, squash and beans.
Then there will be an abundant harvest and at every harvest fesival, Kokopelli, you throw a handful of stars into the crowd and each young maiden who catches one will hold it to her breast and it will go inside her body and someday she will have a little baby.”

So from that day on Kokopelli has been a the symbol of all these good things which are: music, dancing, rain, harvest and fertility.

The story of Kokopelli, as told above was found in an old American Indian store in Nerja, southern Spain. There seems to be many theories of who or what Kokopelli was or is. To me, Kokopelli is as described above, a representation of festival, of joy and happiness.

The story of Kokopelli interested me so much, I decided to base the theme, and name my blog after his story. I would welcome all comments relating to Kokopelli, to see what other views and theories of his story are floating about.
