I was working from home yesterday when the door bell went-I thought about not going to open it, as it would probably be someone trying to sell me manky tea-towels, at over the top prices. But no, a delightful gift box was handed to me by a delivery man, and inside were these.....Yeah!!! I have never had a box of cupcakes sent to me as a gift-it really made me smile on what was a "grey old day". A great present to send someone.... As you can see I had to sample a few before I even thought about taking a photo-they were delicious. A big thank you to  @constantcontact  for sending them and  www.LOLAS-KITCHEN.co.uk  for baking them.

Here in India  the term  "a dogs life" takes on a whole new meaning. This puppy who is currently named "lucky" ( for obvious reasons) manged to find his way to KPJAYI the Ashtanga yoga shala in Goklam Mysore  There are many street dogs here in India and most of them do not have a good life....This little fella found his way to the shala, got himself across the cattle grid (which in its self was quite a  challenge) and wandered in and amongst the yoga students, who were waiting out side to practise. He was brought home to our apartment by one of my flatmates and his new life begun. He was cuddled and watered and given somewhere to sleep, that is until the security guard at our building said he had to go! So off to the vets we went where Lucky was wormed and de-flee powder and special weaning food was purchased....now to find him somewhere to live..... We walked over to a place where we had been told a mother and her puppies were living. We could hear them, bu
