Last week, the ski helmet box
This week – as I sit quietly at the kitchen table, doing some work – another 'how to scare your owner senseless when her laptop bag starts to rustle and move on the kitchen counter of its own accord' moment. I now know why they call people 'cat burglars' – that moggy can creep into…

Cacking It Already
Hmm, the only downside to last night at the O2 was that we had standing tickets – and this body ain't coping too well with the whole standing thing. Or walking. Or working with hunched shoulders. or staying asleep at night having leant on any of said joints, which then wake me up in protest. Or…

She’s a Killer… Queeeeeeennn
Went to the O2 last night with Liz T, Michelle K and some of Liz's chums to see Queen with Adam Lambert – second time for me to see them performing with him as the 'giving honour to Freddie' role. That. Guy. Can. SING. If you've not heard of him or seen him, note the…

Box or Bag = Bliss
How many times did we 'lose' Mojo over Christmas? You try finding a black cat in a dark, winter gloom house (as Cathy unfortunately did, stepping right on her when poor Mojo was hiding in plain sight on the cow rug… miiiaaaaaaoooeeeewwww!) Every box or bag that had a present or bit of shopping in it, has…

Christmas 2014
Already feels weirdly out of date writing '2014' even though it was still right only a couple of days ago – amazing how time flies… Anyway – despite both Hawksey and I feeling distinctly lurgy-fied for most of the break, we managed to squeeze in some good times. The dogbeast certainly had a good time…

Whisky Advent calendar
So – this year, well in advance, I thought 'Hawksey always moans that I don't do anything romantic or thoughtful for him, so I know – I will surprise him with the papa of all Advent calendars as a brilliant start to the run-up to Christmas'. Got into cahoots with Hannah Nurse and agreed that…

Xmas at the Bolingbroke
Mr H and I managed to drag our sorry 'full of cold and feel like shite' asses to the Xmas lunch at the Bolingbroke in Clapham yesterday, despite feeling absolutely dreadful. For the first time in probably 20 years I actually wore a sweater – yes an actual item of clothing with sleeves – well,…

Aces night out
It's taken me a while to sum up the courage to post this particularly attractive pic – a delightful t-shirt made for me by the Aces hockey girls. Managed to embarrass the arse off myself in a match a couple of weeks back when one of the oppo deliberately booted in their 4th goal against…

Good result
Just had my latest scores on the doors back this morning, and not without great trepidation as it's been almost 3.5 months since I last went in so quite frankly I was bricking it that they might have sky-rocketed. And I am still slightly in denial about their veracity until I see Prof tomorrow to…
