Music From Around the World #MewsicMovesMe

Happy Monday!

Today's Mewsic Moves Me theme is chosen by Michelle from Musings & Merriment and it's Music From Around the World.

OUTLANDER SOUNDTRACK - Dance of the Druids

From one of Mum's favourite TV dramas, Outlander. 

SIMON & GARFUNKEL - Scarborough Fair

This classic song is based on a traditional English folk song

BLACKMORE'S NIGHT - Past Time With Good Company

From folk-rock band Blackmore's Night (Richie Blackmore & Candice Night). This song was originally written by Henry VIII.

NIGHTWISH -Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan

Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Finland but they only actually have 4 songs sung in Finnish (I think) 

Here are two, sung by the first lead vocalist of this awesome band, Tarja Turunen. 

NIGHTWISH - Lappi  

And since Mum is of Greek heritage and I'm named after a Greek Goddess I suppose

we should have some Greek music for you. Well, as Mum is always honest, she has to say that she has hardly any affinity for modern Greek music or the traditional bouzouki type, but she is fascinated by ancient Greece and has always wanted to know what music from that era may have sounded like. So off to YouTube she went and found this...

Sunday Selfie and the Outlander Kitty

We hope you are all well.

Here's a funny selfie for you. It was taken late at night during one of my crazies. Again I'm on top of Mum's bookshelf and I'm trying to distract her from the TV.

Mum watches a lot of TV, mostly the British soaps, Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Outlander is one of her favourite shows, and here in the UK, we can watch via Amazon Prime.

Did you know that a kitty has joined the cast? His name is Adso and he will be making his first appearance tonight in Episode 5 of Season 5. In the UK we don't get to see it until Monday, so NO spoilers!

Friendly Fill-Ins, Sunday Selfie and Mum Has a New Haircut

Happy Sunday!

Today we're starting with the Friendly Fill-Ins blog hop, hosted by our friends 15andmeowing and Four-LeggedFurballs 

1. I refuse to shop in ____________________.

2. A store I wouldn’t mind being trapped in overnight is _________________________.

3. I’m dreaming of _________.

4. I wouldn’t touch _________ with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.

Marie's Answers

1. I refuse to shop almost anywhere. I hate shopping. The crowds, the noise, the smells, the harsh lighting. Shopping makes me anxious and I do most of it online. 

2. A store I wouldn’t mind being trapped in overnight is a bookstore.

3. I’m dreaming of a white Christmas.

4. I wouldn’t touch a spider with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole. I am terrified of them.

Athena's Answers

1. I refuse to shop in almost anywhere. I'm a cat. I don't do shopping.

2. A store I wouldn't mind being trapped in overnight is a bookstore with Mum. I can sleep by her side while she reads all the books she can!

3. I'm dreaming of my next treat.

4. I wouldn't touch a banana with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole. They are stinkily revolting. Funny thing is, Mum feels the same.

And now for a Sunday Selfie. This week I'm joined by my mum. She has a new haircut. She cut it all by herself by following youtube videos on how to cut hair. Granny helped a bit. 

It's been a busy and stressful day. First, we had visitors and after they left Mum and I had a nap and when we awoke we found the downstairs toilet flooded. Mum panicked, called a plumber, who charged a hell of a lot of money for an emergency call out who then said the problem was with a mains drain and so now we have to wait until tomorrow for someone to come and sort it out. 

We're not blaming our visitors by the way as Mum had noticed that something wasn't quite right with the drains for a while now.

Mum can't have her relaxing bath because of the blocked drain and she's grumpy. I could offer to wash her, but she's having none of it. 

Really, humans, it's so simple! Just follow your cat... Mum just told me that cats don't smell like humans do when they don't wash. Oh, well, I shall have to take care of Mum tonight as she's panicky and anxious. She says she will try and relax by watching The X Factor Final and as she won't be able to sleep she'll wait until after midnight when the new episode of Outlander starts streaming on Amazon Prime UK.
