That is really interesting, whitewing thank you for posting it. I might give that a try. That is how my teacher friend wants me to write my book, and he says he will turn into a readable format.

Think you are being missed, JM

Oh dear, it's not just us humans with 'issues' . Full-of-Beans-Dog has become Trembling-Jelly-Dog . Next door are having new windows and the inevitable noise has sent her back into 'terrified rescue mode'.

I forcast damp patches indoors

The trick with getting into the swing of writing is that sitting down and writing down any rubbish that pops into your head for a page or two is that it gets your brain cells in writing mode enabling you then to start writing stuff about your subject.
It works for me, I tend to use it in the middle of a piece of writing when I get stuck and can't figure out a way forward.

I am in a big old grouch today. It's rainy and windy which is my most hated weather, my old faithful jeans developed a tear in the thigh and the others are still wet, I'm on my third outfit change of the day (first got soaked when i took the dog out, second I managed to spill breakfast on) and am having to wear my least comfortable jeans ever which feel like a python squeezing me around one thigh. On Friday I bought a pair of jeans to replace the old faithfuls, and I couldn't get them past my knees. On top of that I have a spot the size of an eye right in the middle of my forehead and my hair keeps slithering out of any style I try to put it in and it doesn't look good down. All very small annoyances adding up to a big one.

Then when I got to the train station, my train was cancelled, so I just called into work and told them I was having a day off. Luckily I have a very understanding boss.

Day off! Hurrah!

Making a negative into a positive!

More jeans shopping?


Pink whistley has a tick on her side and she is wriggling to much for me to safely remove it alone so I'm taking her to vet nurse this afternoon, I'll hold they can remove. I hate removing ticks anyway.

Feel a bit grim, but not surprising, I did lots yesterday and seem to have a cold too. Feeling perky. !

Ugh lir. Poor pink whistley. Sometimes you're best contracting these things out. Dumbass dog gets impacted anal glands sometimes and I know I can do it at home but I'd rather pay £13 for the vet to do it.

I am very happy about the bonus day off. I think I'll read in bed for a while as that's one of my favourite things to do on a rainy day. Perhaps you could take it easy today too.

Oystercatcher - sorry that full of beans dog is under the weather. Dumbass dog hates loud noises too.

I bet the jeans have the wrong label in them, cyclops. (Sorry, don't mean to be unkind - trying to make you laugh. I will delete it if you want me to).

I lay in bed this morning, hearing the rain lashing down in waves so I hit the snooze button twice. This compounds the problem by making me late as well as slower than normal.

I did have the hurrah of being able to fit into a new blouse I bought last year but couldn't get into. It's only a collared white blouse but it makes me feel very sexy now for some reason. And I was complimented on it at the bus stop (by a lady, not commenting on its sexiness, lol).

Last week I was slightly late when I took DD to her club. I thought one of the male helpers looked quite pleased to see me. (One of the fit, muscular, brown haired, brown eyed males). Normally I would not even think anyone could fancy me, so it wouldn't cross my virtually non-existent radar. I have decided to view it as 'why wouldn't he' and enjoy the frisson, rather than over-analyse it (and google umpteen versions of 'how to tell if a bloke finds you attractive', lol). Gosh, I am rambling on about nothing today. It is a milestone for me. I reiterate that I am very happily married, and I have spent longer typing about this situation than it took in real life so I will be quiet.

I blame MU for making me think it's spring with her dating stuff.

Time for a Shabby Chic, patch on Old Faithful, Codemonkey? I love making old things last longer, but I am self confessed weird

The evil weather is causing me major vertigo so apart from a quick dog walk when rain eases I won't be going far. I couldn't leave Trembling-Jelly-Dog in this state anyway.

Have already mopped up one puddle

It's always nice to think someone fancies you whitewing. Bit of a confidence boost never hurt anyone.

Cyclops hehe. The thought did cross my mind. Its right between my eyebrows.

The jeans wore away on the inner thigh so a patch might look strange. Did consider ripping them in other places 80s style though.

Poor you and poor dog.
