A TALE OF TWO KITTIES

There seems to be some confusion over my kitty so I thought I'd explain. I only have one cat. One cat with two personalities - Lucy and Beryl. Lucy is my little bundle of snuggles but Beryl is one grumpy bitch. You don't wanna mess with Beryl, she has a look that says "I could kill you with my two front paws". If you're lucky enough to get a snuggle from her then it's more than likely going to be Lucy you're snuggling. Lucy loves snuggles.

Confused? Try living with them you never know which one is gonna pounce on ya from one minute to the next. *giggles*

PICTURE ME

I don't write many 'fun' blogs anymore. They're usually ranting or raving about this or that so I thought for a change I'd leave the moans at the door and get stuck into a mini-project instead. I've seen a couple of these 'photo challenge' things online lately and I thought I'd give it a go myself. The idea being that for a so-many day period you post a photo each day about a different subject. (Hopefully I will do this, because I'm aware how slack I am when it comes to finishing projects.) It's just a bit of a fun and involves something I'm very passionate about... no, not Toblerones... TAKING PHOTOS!!

This is the particular challenge I've settle on. I know there are several different ones out there that vary but as I'm not in college I didn't really wanna have to post 'a photo of my favourite teacher' or 'a photo of my classroom crush'. I doubt I can even remember that far back anyway. *grin* I'll be posting the photos on Facebook if you wanna take this journey with me. Who knows - it might be fun?


day 1. a photo of you that you use as a default on facebook

day 2. a photo of yourself a year ago

day 3. a photo that makes you happy

day 4. a photo of the last place you went on holiday

LARGE LOVES MEDIUM

I'm ploughing through Season 5 of Medium at a happy pace. So glad to finally have this, having waited about a year for the dvd release. Season 6 comes out soon but in America - so I need to find out when the UK release date is because if it's gonna be another year then I'm just gonna buy the region 1 dvd. Season 6 is currently being shown over here (on a channel I don't have - Grrr.) so hopefully it won't be too long. I guess I was quite lucky getting into the show late because by the time I got into it, three seasons were already out on dvd and the release of Season 4 was imminent.

I'm soooo tired today and My Medium-Marathon is to blame. The chances of sleeping in just weren't going to happen with the kids being here overnight. They've been here all weekend. I was rudely woken up at the crack of 'Martin' by Leah who crept into my bedroom and whispered "Dayid - Are you awake?" (Leah can't say David properly - so she calls me Dayid.) Lucy must have heard her coming coz she scarpered quicker than you can say "Breakfast!" Although she soon came out of hiding once Leah and I filled her food bowl with a pouch of cat food. Serving trout when you're still half asleep isn't the ideal way to start the day I can tell ya, but started it had.

So, I'm here - I'm awake and we're babysitting the kids until 8pm. It's gonna be a looooooong day.

CHANCE OF A LUNCHTIME

I had lunch with my Mum today. Well, two mouthfuls of it with her anyway, the rest I ate alone. She'd invited me down for something to eat this morning and as I had nothing else planned I thought it'd be nice to spend some time with her so I agreed. We haven't really spent any time together since her birthday so it was long overdue. It's been like St Pancras station here this morning though what with the amount of traffic we've had through the place. It doesn't really affect me though when people visit here because 1) They know they're not welcome in my part of the house and 2) People now know better than to ever visit me without ample warning. (in writing!)

The first sign that the day wouldnt go as planned should have been when I smelt lunch on fire. Had I been more alert I would have just climbed out of the window and ran knowing I'd have to eat the charred remains eventually, but no, I went and saved lunch as "The cook" had got distracted gossiping with a neighbour. As said neighbour finally fucked off and I was serving what could be saved of the lunch the gas man knocked at the door to read the metre. (or so he thought - what he actually got was a brief history of Wigston from the last 100 years from my Mum.) Now not only was lunch burnt, but it was also cold. We sat down and trust me salt & pepper is your friend whenever my Mum cooks so with everything drenched in that we were ready to eat. STOP!! Doorbell. WHAT?? Leave it. No - it might be important. It won't be. It could be. OH ANSWER IT THEN!! And that was that. Lunch was brought to an abrupt end - The kids had arrived. Although my jacket potatoe made a lovely doorstop no amount of salad and bread could make up for that lunch being SHIT so being left to my own devices I binned it and escaped back to my little bubble of cosyness.

*opens a bag of Milkyway Magic stars* I'm STARVING!!

PALE SEPTEMBER

It's September already. Where HAS the year gone? As I turned the T. Pig Calendar page over this morning I was greeted by the toofy grin of Maynard T. Pig and the shocking reminder that in 8 days time I have a dentist appointment. *gulps* Bad Times! When that's over with I can chillax into an alcohol-induced coma for my birthday weekend. 34 years old - There was me wondering where this year had gone but when I think about it 33 others have slipped by pretty damn quick too. *gulps*

Had my therapy session with JAM today - It went well. We didn't talk about much, there's still a big huge grey area of recent events I'm not ready to get into but we had a good old chat over coffee and it was nice to see another human being for a change. Thankfully the courrier dropped the parcel off I was waiting for about 8.30am so I wasn't tied to the house as expected and I've done alot today actually, been on the go since the crack of Martin out and about running errands so I feel like I've actually done something instead of sat gawping at Facebook. (Although I've had a few peaks during the day - admittedly.)

Hopefully September will be a fun month for all.
