Cats, gardens and the odd zebra and I'm happy. Goddess of Slovens and Queen of Procrastinators. Life is better in nightclothes. No lists please.

'FFS!' said Big Dave as I interrupted his washing to stroke him. 'I've just done that bit!' And he re-washed himself where I'd stroked him, looking decidedly huffy.

A minor miracle has occurred at Sloven Cottage.
I've put the Christmas cake fruit to soak in brandy this afternoon and (drum roll please...šŸ„šŸ„šŸ„) Mr Sloven has left a whole bottle of cooking brandy in the cupboard, unmolested, since last Christmas.
This is unheard of.

Well, these were yummy! Didn't follow the recipe to the letter and fried them (as other recipes do). A great way to use up leftover mash.

The humiliation is complete:
Had to tell the 3yo that she'd have to wait for her 6yo sister to come home before she can watch Duggee, as we need her to find iPlayer cos I can't.

Loads of fallers from the Spartan apple tree. 'I'll make a tarte tatin,' I thought.
'A quick and easy dessert,' said the recipe.
Pah! Neither quick nor easy. The caramel is runny and won't thicken. Approx 1 million apples peeled and cored. Softening slowly in runny caramel.

I thought I had a cold coming. So when I'd washed my hair this evening, I took a moment to blow the hairdryer up my nose.
And lo! No cold!

Today Facebook reminds me of a radio interview on addiction that I heard.
The interviewee, a woman, listed the things she'd been addicted to, with an unfortunate choice of words. 'Tobacco, alcohol, drugs,' she said, 'and sex. Filling a hole inside of me.'
Well, yes...

Armchair on Marketplace. Cleaned it this morning & replaced the covers I washed yesterday. Man coming at lunchtime.
Showered. Dressed. Drove to meet friend for lunch.
Man messages to say he can't come (timewaster).
Friend not at venue: supposed to be tomorrow.
Waste of a morning!

Why do I find it so hard to say 'no'?
Message asking if I'll take on a student for English tutoring. 'No,' says my brain (so lazy). 'Yes,' type my fingers. Must be mad.

Catnip mice have temporarily been set aside for the knitting of Remembrance poppies for an animal therapy organisation. They'll be stitched to a pony rug for visits to veterans and a Remembrance parade.

I'm under the weather again. Struggled with getting the house viewer-ready yesterday & today & a little despondent about the whole selling business. OH went off to do the shopping and came back with a bunch of flowers and a bar of chocolate-coated marzipan for me.
He's a keeper.
