optical illusion

After repainting the hall, and getting the new carpet fitted (it came yesterday) the hall has suddenly got three feet wider. Wow, I can probably fit bookshelves in there now. After all, it is the only room in the house that doesn't have them...

bad things and good things

I had to make an emergency dentist's appointment for today, having lost a large lump off one of my back teeth on Sunday (I think it may have dissolved in all that rain we had). The tooth itself wasn't hurting at all, but it had a really rough edge...

heading into the dark

Currently we are having a stunning autumn; the trees are wonderful colours and the mornings are bright, sunny, and not as cold as they can be at this time of year. The colours look even better when the sun is shining on them and there's a dark sky...

trying to be creative

nobody@vox.com(Jerusha) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:20:09 +0000

I've been attempting to make some posters on Glogster, because I found it by accident and thought it looked like fun. It is, lots and lots of fun, and I have now spent many happy hours that I did not have making posters that I do not need (but wil...

We went across to Glasgow today, to take Hairy some essentials (clothes, underwear mainly, and home-baked bread) and to take him shopping. We met him for lunch, and then headed for a supermarket with a shopping list written by his flat-mate. Unlik...

sticky

We have spent the whole of the last two days scraping wallpaper off the hall walls - I knew the hall was large (sprawling bungalow) but I previously hadn't realised that the walls were quite as vast and endless as they now appear. It's lucky that ...

mastering public transport

Mouse actually managed to get from where we live to the moderately large town where BF lives today, by bus, all on his own. Actually this is more of an achievement than it sounds. The bus service (which rejoices in the name of the Blue Bus, even a...

books, books, books

I have a week's holiday next week, Handsome does too because it's the October half-term. We have some plans - decorating and such-like. However, today my weekly library run came in, with all the books I had marked as things I wanted to read. All ...

grrrr, arghhhh

I have just spent hours of my own precious time wrestling with a particularly unwieldy bit of webware trying to set up something that I have to do for work. It is slow, outdated and extremely frustrating. And it doesn't do even basic things that I...

finally off the streets...

nobody@vox.com(Jerusha) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 22:39:28 +0100

After not having heard from him all week, Hairy finally answered my msns and texts yesterday and confirmed that he did actually, finally have somewhere to live - and that he was moving in today. He also confirmed that he has Mouse's jeans, but tha...
