The internet is filled with hundreds of cute kitten and cat videos. If you visit Youtube and type in search terms like ‘cute cat videos’ or ‘kitten videos’ you will come across many videos I am sure you will enjoy watching. I myself have watched several of these. I love the ones where cats are getting along with different species of animals like dogs and other domesticated and wild animals – like the one where the cat is with a fox and an eagle. But recently I came across a fantastic video of two kittens watching tennis which is the cutest kitten video I have watched. You can check it out below:-

Do you like crumble? What about the combination of plums and ginger?
My friend makes a fantastic pear, apple and ginger crumble which we usually have after his wonderful shepherd’s pie. One day after a visit to the market I brought home a lot of plums. I used most of them to make a delicious plum crumble – so I repeated the recipe and included ginger in it and it turned out to be really good. Here’s the recipe…
Did you know that 13 million students are bullied each year and about 160,000 of them stay home each day in order to escape being bullied? Bullying not only occurs in schools, but also in the work place and of course online.
Before bullying was just reserved to places like schools and offices, but now it seems to have gotten a lot worse. People continue to spend a lot of time online this is giving bullies access to individuals they can target and bully over the internet. A recent case is the one with 15 year old Amanda Todd who committed suicide after being bullied both online and offline.
Here’s a video on Youtube which sums up her story:-

It first started with Twilight, The Vampire Diaries and The Southern Vampire Mysteries being books, but then they were made into movies and TV shows – Twilight into a film series, The Vampire Diaries and The Southern Vampire Mysteries into TV Series with the latter being named as True Blood.
The growing popularity of these books, shows and movies has influenced their social media channels too and along with some well planned strategies they are successfully engaging their audience. But according to this recent infographic by Direct SAT TV, True Blood will take over online conversations this summer.
What’s your favourite vampire series? Do you watch them regularly? Do you also follow them online on social media? I would love to hear your thoughts. Please leave your comments in the comments box below.
A few days ago I came across this fantastic video of a marriage proposal on Youtube. In this video Isaac Lamb, an actor proposes to his girlfriend, Amy, a choreographer, with help from than 50 friends and family. The video starts off with Isaac Lamb’s brother asking Amy to sit in the back of the car and to put on the headphones. She puts them on and starts listening to the music that’s being played.
Then the car starts moving and from the back of the car she watches people appearing and disappearing while they dance and lip sync to the song. I don’t want to give everything away and spoil it. You should watch the video to find out for yourself.
All of it – all the dance moves, Amy’s reaction and the happy ending make it such a wonderful video to watch. You can never get bored of it.
Looks like we’re heading for a future full of more wonderful recorded marriage proposals – one trying to do better than the other. I wonder how anyone will match this one.
Have you ever proposed to someone or has someone ever proposed to you? What was it like? Do you think anyone will ever match the above proposal? What would you do? Please leave your comments in the comments box below.

One of the keys to a great story is the characters in it. The more unforgettable your characters are the longer they will stick in your readers mind and the more they will be talked about. You need to have several unforgettable characters in a story. It’s not just enough if you have one or two, almost all the important characters in your story need to have deep personalities. Your readers should be able to get to know them and understand them and feel the same emotions and feelings they feel while they read your story.
Before you write your story you need to plan out your characters, their personalities and traits thoroughly. The more you think about them and plan them, the more likely your readers will like them and remember them for a long time.
If you’re keen on learning how to create good characters then read all the tips below and practice them:-
1. Plan them ahead:
You shouldn’t just start imagining your characters while you write your story. If you do this it could affect the depth of your characters and make them appear less genuine. You need to plan them ahead and spend a lot of time imagining them and giving a lot of depth to their character.
