Seeing as neither Mike nor I have updated for a while I might as well give a short summery of recent weeks.

Last weekend we went to visit Mike's Mum in York.
Pretty and very sunny it was too and as she live a stones throw from both the city town centre and some horsey racecourse, there was much of a hubbub on the streets both days.
She was quite chatty to my relief and has the most beautiful of back gardens which she proudly showed me round all her fruits of labour before we went out to look around the dainty streets on Saturday morning. She also ensured we took a home some planting pots and seeds to begin growing our own herbs. So I now have some basil and some rocket on the grow. Mike thinks it all looks like cress, well he would.

Toto, our cat seems to have settled into her new home just fine and Mike installed her catflap last week. Since then she's still reluctant to use it on her own but with a bit of coaxing has managed to figure it out. Mostly she just peers through into the garden especially in the morning when birds are particularly prominant.
On Monday both Mike and Toto got a bit of a fright, some big neighbourley cat, one which we've not seen before found itself in the Kitchen. It was in the day and Toto head downstairs to find this big brown moggy halfway up the kitchen window having knocked some plants and making a bit of a racket. Mike came downstairs and scared the blighter out, by shouting at it and the cat seemed a little distressed by it's experience too so hopefully that will be last of it. Toto needed a bit of TLC and treats before she ventured out from under her hiding place behind the rocking chair in the Den. Yesterday morning however she 'done us proud'. Next door's cat, a scarey-eyed grey cat was staring through the flap at her. This one is actually a nice little thing who travels through the garden every night. Anyhoo after a moment and on spotting me glaring through the window the grey cat turned and Toto dashed out through the flap, big bushey tail puffed up and chased grey-cat down the garden. So she can defend herself then, which is good to know.

Lastly, it was DEFRA's sports day again last Friday.
This time I umpired the rounders matches again and we struggled to beat Kew Gardens in the semi-final heats. Last time they slaughtered us 16 to 2 and a half. This time we made them work for it and with a slightly dodgey qwin they went through by 6 and a half to 6. Next year I tells ya, we'll have em.
Anyway, we played the other semi final losers and won giving us 3'rd place in the tournament.
Meet the Leicester Allstars team:

I enter the mixed-relay this year and, well, we didnt drop the baton and I didn't die after sprinting so .....came 6th, out of 8th. So not last /proud.

Beacause Leicesterians are mostly gay, or related to gay or just plain girls I am going to have to watch Rugby on my own or with random pub goers or at best with a couple of work colleagues.
Still, start as I mean to follow some.
I know I'll get bored after a bit and then gain interest again as the league progresses in later matches.

Anyone in Leicester who I've seen this year watch rugby?

Well, I have found myself ill.
Not just a cold but real man-flu. Real Man flu!

Sitting at work, I have got a throbbing ich inside my head and can feel my throat and glands just wanting to scratch.
There's a bit of nausea there and I'm getting odd moments of shivers and sweats every half hour or so.

Timely consideration, seeing as I have got Thursday and Friday as leave.

15 years later, and still loving Type O Negative just as much /nostalgic sigh.

Is Normality a floating point? i.e relative to your origin.

NO WAY, BETTIE IS GONE?! :(

I slept with Chris Moyles last night.

2 things:

a) I found a definate 'lump' on one side of my lower back :/

and

b) I got my TV licence today :D

I just found out my Grandad was called Gordhan Ramji( ! )

Hmm, I found myself thinking back to some of the random convo from last night:

I can confirm yes BSE is mad cow disease in Cattle

On quoting Ian's Joke about Mad Cow disease in Women being 'Marriage' and my thought that Marriage is ACTUALLY mad Cow disease in MEN (say marriage and men go mad, women dont really change they're madness is ever present)

I was told that apparently Ian's right.

Men get the most out of being married.
Women get the most out of being single.

Now when I thought about it again, I suppose I see that too.

Men just complain like women about marriage, but take their missis away from them and they cant hack it, they crunmble. Usually it's more than obvious.

Anyhoo, I digress. My point was:
BSE in Cattle (See Animal Health's web pages), Scrapi in Sheep (AH also) and Marriage in Women (see NHS or Bupa councelling, or better yet, set her free from Madness, send her head and vertabrae off to a lab and remember folks, no nose to nose contact if you want to avoid quarentine)

I love my Mum soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Much.

She has filled one of my holes this morning. I'm so happy I could cry.

The support and life experience help and OH OH OH OH, I cant begin to explaign just how much she has helped me with some big decisions. I am finding myself landing back on the rail track which I was happy rolling on before, my life is back on track!!!!!!!!!! :D

( Disclaimer )

Well, due to not being a child nor being gossips madam and because even time hasn't kept some childish backchatting cant-get-job-so-live-on-the-dole type of people with way too much time on their hands......

anyhoo,  without a rant:

If you find yourself unfriended it's not personal but I cant trust you.
You dont comment on my journal but do take time to re-translate my mind's thinking and turn it into she said so&so about so&so and so they must've so&so'ed with so&so at so&so's.

So yeah, if you find you're un friended it's so that you can focus on gossiping about your own friends, ok.

If btw, you feel I am unjust and am wrongly accusing you then let me know. comments are screened and I'll appreciate the fact that you have bollocks.

and if you want to turn this into another I hate you hate load of bull without speaking out and clearing the air..... then it's for the best, know what i mean.

WTF!

The roof on my room(it's a bungalow) is leaking.
Right when I'm about on my way out o_0

Don't imagine you can change a man - unless he's in nappies.

2. What do you do if your boyfriend walks out? You shut the door.

3. If they put a man on the moon - they should be able to put them all up there.

4. Never let your man's mind wander - it's too little to be out alone.

5. Go for the younger man. You might as well, they never mature anyway.

6. Men are all the same - they just have different faces, so that you can tell them apart.

7. Definition of a bachelor: a man who has missed the opportunity to make some woman miserable.

8. Women don't make fools of men - most of them are the do-it-yourself types.

9. Best way to get a man to do something is to suggest he is too old for it.

10. Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener. (My mum believes in this one, probably why she likes John so much)

11. If you want a committed man, look in a mental hospital.

12. The children of Israel wandered around the desert for 40 years. Even in Biblical times, men wouldn't ask for directions.

13. If he asks what sort of books you're interested in, tell him cheque books.

14. Remember a sense of humor does not mean that you tell him jokes, it means that you laugh at his.

15. Sadly, all men are created equal.

It never rains but it pours.

Mysery text solved and impulsiveness imminent.
I even sat thinking about Dharsh for a good hour or so before having the courage to reach out.

Never separate entities, always events together.

Psychicly linked somehow in another lifetime I rekon.

...The shape of things to come, I hopes so /glee.
