misery hates company
The sun has stopped shining. I blame David (TEFLsmiler) but it's not in my nature to hold a grudge, not much it isn't. Mr McMuffin is spending two days working at home on court reports, I feel very mean, but he's getting in my way. How can I RELAX with someone else around? He's trying to be unobtrusive, but I can hear the poor man everywhere. I would say I can smell him everywhere, but that wouldn't be true, he is very clean. He's driving me mad, he's so chirpy and chatty I want to kill him.
I think I did myself in yesterday as well, I'm being dramatic but I think I had a touch of sunstroke. I felt really headachey and shivery and had to lie down for a while. Today I think I've got hayfever, and I can't find any antihistamine. Still, it's going to rain and rain, so that should dampen the pollen down. See, I can look on the bright side.
Mr McMuffin has been inspired by Gypsy Tart and has been speaking to the Cat Protection League about rescuing a cat. He got a bit carried away when he saw some Burmese lookalikes that needed rehoming. I am doubtful that if we get an adult cat that Slinky will get on with it. Even though Slinky isn't ours, I can't bear the thought of him feeling pushed out. I'm having visions of the poor little chap sitting on the windowsill yowling at us, yet too upset to come in because there is an usurper. Well that's decided it for me, kitten only. At least Slinky will still be bosscat if it's a tiny thing.
The other thing about the CPL is that they seem to be acting like family finding Social Workers, they want to vet our home, do Police and GP checks and complete a full form F. Actually, that's not true but they do take it all very seriously. Having said that, this is the country that had the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals before it had a Society to protect children! I guess we should expect a little scrutinising and psychometric testing.
I am proud to announce that I taught Mr McMuffin to score through words like this and that. Soon I shall be master of weblogs instead of the imbec Imecible stupid person I am.

Oh look, it seems like I might have saved you from further episodes of sunstroke. See, in the end it always turns out I've done the right thing! :-)
Any Slinky pics available?

You can score-through words and have the score-through have mouseover text on it too!
Doesn't work in the comments section, I've tried it on mine, but the how-to is here...

I use title-tags all the time but wonder if they are too subtle to be noticed.
The RSPCA checked us out before we 'adopted' Bob. They come to your house and make sure you're not going to leave them alone in the house all day, or that you own a ferocious cat-eating dog. That kind of thing.

Thanks for all your advice.
Kirsty, I do notice your title tags, and always admire them. I'll have to have a go now, so don't be surprised if the blogdemon returns!
David, when we get iSight we'll show you the little devil himself, and you can fall under his spell too.
