  • Feeling hot, hot, hot!

    We were hotter than the Bahamas a few days ago. I know where I'd rather be. A couple of days ago it was really humid. Hot and sticky but not the kind that I like at all (interpret that how you will, you filthy people). You walked outside and suddenly you're covered with millions of little Thunderflies and eating them without meaning to. Mmmmm, the extra protein! Speaking of...

    During the month of May on Lake Victoria in Tanzania, a cloud of freshly hatched flies (or midges) rises from the water in clouds so dense that from a distance it looks like bellowing clouds of smoke. When great hosts of these flies are blown towards land by the wind, they are swept off the bushes and rocks by the Sesse Islanders or caught against mats hung up for the purpose; they are then compressed into oily cakes, roasted, and eaten.

    Delicious!

  • Meant to be out half an hour ago...

    I think Hairy Face has gone back to sleep. We should have been out the house by now. He did burn his arm quite badly yesterday on piping hot curry. I've told him to get it seen to by a doctor as it looks to be a 2nd degree burn but he insists that he's fine. I'm keeping an eye on him.

    He did fall back asleep! I'm going to bumble about until he's ready to go shopping. We're running out of food!

  • I'm rubbish, I know.

    Right, I've got to get back into writing regularly again. I'll get an update of what's happened at some point but for now:

    1. At work the team I was in got disbanded near Christmas. One was made redundant (went travelling for a few months in America and Cananda and has now landed himself a contract job for a year in Amsterdam), the rest of us got other jobs. The job they gave me was a promotion and a payrise of 6k in disguise. I was very pleased.

    2. Guinea pigs are still going strong. Currently have a total of 26. I think. I don't know. There's too many. Two babies got taken away/eaten/devoured by either a bloody cat or a crow/magpie/sparrowhawk. The babies have now been moved to safer location.

    Now I have to get all the reusable bags together to go food shopping in a half an hour.

    Good to see most of you are still blogging away like demons, I really should take a leaf out of your books.

  • Frustration in the work place

    Oh al-fucking-right. I'll do it. It's not because I want to, it's because I have to. I hope you all get a bad case of pubic lice and the only way to cure it is to set fire to your lice infested sex nest and bash your own genitals with a big, big hammer.

  • When the cats' away...

    Hmmm. I see some lovely spam comments have appeared on my 'You try to help...' post.

    I've edited all the spam comments to show their true personality.

    That'll teach them. Well, maybe not but it amuses me.
