    I think mine's been rolling in fox poo too.

    Tried to cheer myself up by having a row with B&Q over a faulty desklight. They were no fun at all. I shall take it up with head office tomorrow instead. They used to be a good place but it's just depressing walking around. They've never got what you want, the striplights give you a headache, the staff know less about what they sell than I do, and they don't even give in when you have an argument.

    Well honestly.

    I'm being interviewed by a neighbour's cat as a possible new parent at the moment. She is so friendly and pretty and looks just like the one I had that got squished. I wouldn't tempt it away from its current home (of course - that would be mean), but if it decides it prefers being here, that's its own decision.

    (Must just pop out and get some more prawns...)

    That sounds really exciting... except when you run outside in your fleece and there is no snow! :j

    ....and just some people standing reading the plaque really slowly!

    Ah, the plaque that some idiot painted over in white.

    Tomorrow afternoon.

    Love it, very proud of it, but it makes me feel I'm living in a National Trust almshouse.

    PS Got recognised by the cashier in Tesco this afternoon. Frightening how good some people's memories are...

    Its peeing with rain, and an ice cream van has just stopped outside blaring its music. I don't get it....
