Back again.
A bit early tonight. Maybe I should come back later.
It's weird the differences you notice between the day and the night. When I go smoking at night, because the world has quietened down, I hear the back door creak as I open it so go out for a cigarette. It's something I only notice in the evening, because I always think I am somehow squashing the dog, or some extra house inhabitant, like a mouse. But during the day I don't hear it. I also see a lot more frogs and mice at night. Guess they aren't scared to pop out of their dwellings. Now the cat has passed onto the fluffy clouds high up in the sky there are lots more four legged species roaming the garden.
I remember when the cat brought in a mouse once, and played with it. It was awful to watch, but also fascinating. It then properly killed it and ate it, and you could hear it munching on the bones. Reminded me of when I used to live in Battersea. It was a bit of an old, decrepid house. Moss green carpets, the strangest wicker sofa ever and mismatched furniture. Well, we had a mouse. So we fed it quavers. I know, I know, stupid thing to do. But we turned the telly off and you could hear it munching. I think it liked the melt in your mouth cheesy sensation, because the next day there were two of the buggers, and so of course we had to exterminate. But despite being vermin they were cute!
I've got a raving headache today. I'm addicted to coke (that's Coca-Cola if you don't mind!) and drink several cans a day. So today, having had none, withdrawel symptons have kicked in. In the end I stopped the cold turkey and shot to Tesco and purchased more. I guess it's like coffee. I've heard the same thing happens with that, though I can't say for sure because it gives me a dodgy tum and I get scared of farting ...
Mmm, just eaten a bag of monster munch, tasty! Oh, and I have just learnt/learned (?) how to burn a CD! I know, I am slightly behind with the times. It's great! I can now put all my favourite songs onto one CD and play them over and over again until I get sick of them, but then I can compile a new CD! I win every time!
Oh, and another thing. Cloud 9 is supposed to be happy right? I jsut wondered why it isn't cloud 7, seeing as 7 is a generally accepted lucky number? Or is it that luck and happiness are very different? Gosh, one just isn't sure is one?
I love flip-flops. Flip-flops are without doubt my favourite shoe. Being tall, it means my friends nearly reach the same height as me which is a bonus. And they are cheap, and you have no problem with them not fitting either. Although I was wearing flip-flops when I was running, tripped over a curb and instead of putting two hands down I put one hand and my face (see post below for results - 8 stitches between my eyes if you can't be arsed). But they were strange flip flops, and it was obviously my fault for not seeing the curb in the first place (it was dark - and no, I wasn't drunk).
Wow, I am still wide awake, I could go on for hours and hours and hours.
Something midly amusing. This story is thanks to a friend. When I was teaching in Japan, one guy used to go into his classroom every time and say 'hello chaps'. Eventually, he started getting complaints, and when it was looked into it turned out the students thought he was saying 'hello Japs'! Har har, worth a mention.
My toes are now cold, which is the only problem with wearing flip-flops. I even wore flip-flops to a wedding once. Looking back now I am slightly embarrased, but hey-ho. Everyone kept looking at my feet, although I wasn't sure if they were looking at my shoes or the blood blister on my big toe (again, from the same fall as mentioned earlier). Maybe I should have put a tick box on my forehead to resolve the issue. Got another wedding this summer, won't be wearing flip-flops. Gotta find an outfit though, bit nervous about that. Money, money, money. The good thing is there are loads of dresses around at the moment so it shouldn't be too hard to find something nice. I'm just worried I'll have the same dress as someone else, that would be annoying!
Anyhow, off I trot. Ta ta.
