Autumn? I don't think so.

Today is the 16th of March.

The 76th day of the year.

The 16th day of Autumn.

And the first time I've worn jeans all year.

Indian summer, let me count the ways I love you.

Water Resistant - My Foot.

'I think I've lost my watch.'

'No, it'll be around somewhere - have you checked your car?'

'Yup, looked everywhere, can't find it.'

'Bugger.'

'Bugger. I really liked that watch.'
.

A day later.

'I've found your watch!'

'YAY! Where?'

'In the washing machine...'

'Uh oh....before or after a load?'

'After the second load...'

'Bugger!'

'Bugger.'

'At least you now have a very clean watch.'

However I am delighted share with you that closer inspection revealed those buggers were surplus to requirements- my very clean watch still works!

Surprise!


A woman at work got an enormous bunch of beautiful flowers delivered to her yesterday.

‘Have we missed your birthday?’ Ask I.

‘Nooo!’ She says, ‘It’s for nothing.’

‘Really?’

‘Well, he is away at the moment - on holiday.’

‘How long for?’

‘Two days!’ She giggles, going just a light shade of pink, while everyone else in the office swoons.  

‘You do realise,’ I continue, ‘that all the other boyfriends of women in this office now officially hate your boyfriend?’

Sayonara El Papa

I just caught the beginning of a news story about today being the Pope's last day and I heard the words, '...the mood was festive. Nun and monks were gathered...'

And it just made me smile - I've never associated 'nuns and monks' and 'festive'.

But then maybe my stereotypes are just all sorts of wrong...?

Flying

I had a very busy time last night. I dreamt I went to the moon - twice - and  on one trip my father also came. I was about to go on a third trip but my head gear was a bit faulty. It was a relatively easy trip and lots of fun. There's a lot to be said for no gravity. 

And then I did a massive skydive somewhere in the States - the view was stunning - as I recall, it was from a very high altitude.

Busy, busy, busy.

I wonder how the dream people would interpret that?

That I should stop eating cheese at night?

I know this is cruel...

..particularly if you live in the Northern Hemisphere but, I (sort of) hate to be a Little Miss Gloaty Pants, our cracking good summer just keeps on giving. 

I hate to jinx it but, bite me, this weather is stunning.

Dogs Versus Cats


Sweet mother of God, I nearly choked when I watched this.

Happy Friday.
