Happy Birthday Kitty

12 hours without a rage attack must be a special day for my lovely Kitty. If only everyday was this special

Bloody moths

Good news
Crawling on my hands and knees in the girls bedroom I found both my lovely grey footless tights and my wonderful mega expensive tweezers and amissing earring not a bad haul.
Bad news
Bloody moths I have spent the entire day sprinkling lavender around all my clothes bedding etc like it was fairy dust in the vague hope it will discourage breeding and encourage the packing of their bags. Every night, out they flutter I have been through everything but cannot find the breeding ground. I normally try to enforce a live and let live policy in the house but not when my beautiful jumpers are at stake. There is something rather pitiful at how fragmentary their composition is, they crush so easily like tissue paper. but their babies eat way too much. So the smell of lavender pervades the house and all is calm....

So bloody tired

On Friday a small nugget of a headache was tapping so I popped a couple of pills ( I hope my homeopath is not reading this!) Alpha male decided we should go out, the first time since we moved here last September, nothing too gastronomic I have only recently weaned Emin off the mono sodium hell that is Pizza Hut so one tiny step up we went to Pizza Express, a glass of crap wine later a full blown migraine had moved in and I felt very very tired. Sat am I popped 2 more pills just a little stronger than the last (sorry again) this time I was dragged to the Red Bull flying time trials. 5 mins awesome 15 mins boring, so shopping and bed. Back up at 7 and off to my sisters birthday bash, bloody pizza again.. back home, bed till gone 9. Where am I going with this boringly domestic diatribe? well Tom (there was NO excuse for that perfume) Ford was asked in a recent interview how he relaxed "I never relax its too exhausting" well he wasn't wrong there
