Kitten Kaboodle

Okay, well, things aren’t so good right now. Until I get my spinal surgery (and my doctor is currently hurrying that along, bless him), I’m completely housebound. I can just about make it downstairs to the front door – handy when Tesco deliver my food – but venturing outside is far too painful. I’ve had [...]

Heroes Season Two Promo

It’s a thing of beauty…

(Oh, and excuse me for stating the bleedin’ obvious, but don’t watch it if you haven’t seen all of season one yet. It’s not spoilery, but there are certain characters in it who might ruin things for you…)

Bloody Bleedin’ Hell!

I just watched the final episode of Prison Break’s first season.
I had fingernails an hour ago.
I don’t any more.

Girls Will Be Girls…

Earlier today at work, I walked up to my friend Denise’s desk and waved a teabag at her.
“Hey Denise,” I said. “Can I give you this pear and apple teabag in exchange for one of your cranberry, strawberry and peach ones?”
“Sure,” said Denise. “Here you go.”
It wasn’t until I got back to my desk that [...]

Jayne Gets A Break (Or Two) At Last!

I had a hospital appointment yesterday and, after eight months of excruciating pain, phsyiotherapy, weight loss, acupuncture, pilates exercise and a steroid injection in my back under general anaesthetic, I FINALLY had the joy of hearing my surgeon say, “Well, you can’t go on like this, can you?”
Which means I’m going to have [...]

Potter Puppet Pals

Somebody emailed me this link last night and I laughed so much my glasses steamed up. Apparently 10 million people have already viewed it, so apologies if you’ve seen it already!
Oh, and turn your sound up…
Potter Puppet Pals In ‘The Mysterious Ticking Noise’!

Ghosts, Albinos And Buttcracks

I watched Ghost Rider over the weekend and loved it.
I feel slightly guilty for loving it, though, kind of like I feel when I think about how much I love The Scorpion King or Hercules: The Legendary Journeys or (whisper it) seaQuest DSV (God, I can’t believe I just admitted that in public). They’re [...]

Plane Insane

The sound of the builders hammering out an old window sent me scurrying out of my flat today to find a peaceful spot down by the Thames to read a book.
As you can see…

… Richmond Lock is beautiful, and it’s a lovely day (not too hot, with a nice breeze), and before long I’d [...]

Best Builders Ever?

Yes, two posts in one day. It’s been a very long day.
Particularly for the builders who are currently refitting my downstairs neighbour’s flat. They started work at
6.30am
and it is now
10.15pm
and they are STILL WORKING.
They’ve been doing this for TEN DAYS NOW.
Much as I appreciate their AMAZING WORK ETHIC,
I really WANT THEM TO STOP.
please? just stop [...]

So long, and thanks for all the fish…

So. I’m not stupid. I didn’t leave windows open around my foster kitty in case he decided to return to the wild. Of course, I soon discovered that having a cat in an enclosed space can get a bit whiffy, particularly if they accidentally missed their litter tray one time (and felt really guilty about [...]

Give A Cat A Home

Meet Thomas O’Malley:

He’s my very first foster cat. At the moment he’s watching TV in my lounge (I’ve never known a cat so fascinated by TV, mirrors, reflections and shadows) after finally figuring out how to use his litter tray after two days (you don’t want to know).
O’Malley – who I’m obviously calling Mal [...]
