Taking the Mickey

“By the way,” said Mr TLC, “there’s a mouse under the fridge.”

Super. I always like to keep a mouse around the place. You never know when a rodent might come in handy.

Actually, it’s all part of the joy of cats. The trouble is that Black Cat’s rodent hunting glory days seem to have […]

Didn't We Have A Luverly Time?

Some days are just amazing. Some days are packed full of moments to be seized and savoured; to be enjoyed to the full whilst they last and enjoyed again as they linger in the memory.

Other days are definitely more enjoyable in retrospect. Take, for instance, er… Friday 15th May 2009, the day that I […]

Deja Vu

Getting ready for work this morning I decided to wear my grey trousers. They’re actually rather smart, but for some reason I rarely wear them.

I put on a white shirt. Nothing unusual about that, most of my work shirts are white.

I dither for a moment about what else to wear.

One problem with […]

Temptation

Temptation. That would be what I experienced just after one of my fellow road users obligingly pulled in right in front of me, into the space that wasn’t actually there.

As I slammed on the brakes I did not see my life flash before my eyes, nor did I experience road rage. I did however […]

FAIL

Actually, make that EPIC FAIL.

Anyhoo, how are you? (She says, changing the subject, whilst shuffling in a slightly embarrassed kind of way.)

Everyone's a philosopher

So that resolution isn’t going so well, she says, sneakily back-posting to fill in the gap… (Today was a family day and I didn’t get near a computer. Which is no bad thing actually, because it was also a good day.)

Everyone’s a philosopher these days. Even the machine at the car park pay […]

Spring Cleaning

I don’t know what it is is about this time of year, but I always seem to spend some of my Easter holiday having a clear out: files on the laptop, junk in the cellar, old spices in the kitchen cupboard. I’ve even put up the racks for holding ladders and Mr TLC’s bicycles that […]

Brief Encounter

We caught a brief glimpse of Fabulous Mr Fox* on the way home tonight. First sighting this year. Must be spring.

*I’m know that many people do not find Mr Fox to be fabulous, but I like him. I’m sure I’d feel differently if I lived somewhere a little less urban and kept chickens.

A Small Resolution

I am in danger of turning into something I do not wish to be, namely a grumpy looking character who says [assumes special whiny voice] ‘I haven’t got tiiime…’ far too often.

The ‘I haven’t got time’ thing is rubbish. I have 24 hours a day, no more and no less than anyone else. It’s […]

A Foolish Day

I spent today dating, American style. Why? Because 4 01 2009 is just so more interesting than plain old April Fool’s Day. 4012009 is in fact a perfect square, something I found far more interesting than anyone else, but fear not, I didn’t let that stop me from telling, oh, just about everyone. For no […]
