I knew the French were great wine drinkers but did not know they drank whiskey

I might treat myself to an Easter Egg

But NO!

I think I will continue to go without chocolate for an entire year

[Piling]

When was the last time you ate chocolate ? Did you lost weight ?

When was the last time you ate chocolate ? Did you lost weight ?

It must be about 5 months ago now

I also gave up biscuits - cake - crisps so that I am not tempted to eat anything between meals

Yes I have lost weight

Turkish jets demolish 976 year old tomb in Amediye

Amediye the place you LOVE

Why are the vile Turkish savages attacking such a lovely place

They finish the job for which Saddam lacked time to achieve.

VIENNA (AP) — Austrian conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt has died after a career characterized by a search for authenticity in Baroque and other classical music. He was 86.

The Vienna Society of Friends of Music, which was closely associated with Harnoncourt, said he died Saturday night, but didn't specify the cause of death.

Harnoncourt was one of the last great postwar Austrian conductors, alongside Herbert von Karajan, Karl Boehm and Carlos Kleiber.

His concern for historical detail was legendary and he thought of his conducting as alive and romantic, not a relic of history.

His recording of Bach's St. Matthew Passion won a Grammy Award in 2001.

A great loss he had such passion

Big problem : I think that Pirouette is pregnant (or since 15 days she has swallowed a entire chicken since 2 weeks).

Congratulations your going to have babies

I just wish she won't do that in the house. I don't want to be involved in a such breading.

You cannot throw an expectant mother out

You are going to have lots of fluffy little balls of love

You are going to have lots of fluffy little balls of love

And adorable fluffy little things will soon become big fury males and females who are going to make other fluffy little things each others and etc. etc.

I just cross my fingers for she prefers to give birth outside and hide them, and care them alone, and when they will be adults hunting them away from her territory.

If she bring them as kitties in the house they won't be wild cats and will never go.

Spring in Duhok, mosquitos, crickets and shooting (?) every night (may be target practice in a wasteland).

I wonder if they are practising for when ISIS attacks

Or are they practising for when Turkey attacks
