    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
  • DD decided that faffing around wrapping the cat in my clean teatowels was more important than checking the cakes - despite my saying 3 times 'I think you need to check on those cakes'.


    She is now trying to work out how to get rid of the black bits. And I know that the smoke alarms work this month.


    No playing at the club tomorrow. I do, however, have something fun to practice - Down in the tube station at midnight by The Jam, perfect for poxy Valentine's. More appropriate for my mood.


    Oh well, cleaned the upstairs bathroom to take myself away from her.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
