Flora Light Margarine

Apparently, it’s the crack of the kitty world! Seriously, little Darcy, on the coffee table, face buried in the margarine tub as though it were going out of fashion! I should probably have stopped him sooner, but there was something truly, outrageously, hilarious about his single-minded determination to get as much partially hydrogenated vegetable fat down his throat as possible. Titter.

Moving is …

… a bitch.

So much to organise, it’s not even finalised yet and already we’re getting stressed and tense. Heaven only knows what we’ll be like in four weeks, probably homicidal! And grey-haired. Eeek.

Really like the place we want to take, it’s got a lot more which we want from a flat and is in fact cheaper, so win all round really. Fingers crossed that we don’t kill one another before we get there!

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

-Carl Sagan, astronomer and writer (1934-1996)

A new year and another bottle of wine…..

Just realised that I might be an alcoholic, the nice kind of drunk really…..limiting myself to weekend drinking only, I suppose that’s worse than drinking everyday, well, according to the DAILY MAIL!! SO, binge drinking is “EVIL”, drinking everyday is “WRONG” and I will  DIE if I do not eat my 5 a day! YIKES!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD!! ??

When did we give up control of our lives to the media, politicians and so-called health experts etc? Am I an average drinker? Healthy eater? Gym junkie? ordinary human being or am I in a tunnel of  MASS disorder and a frenzy of  hype….I DONT KNOW!! I suppose most of us adore the comfort of knowing that somewhere out there, another human being is in control, even when we hate this fact immensly!!

I, on the other hand, bloody hate giving up control over my thoughts and actions, and I want to know that what I do is purely my own choice and I will live with the consequences THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
It’s like cleaning the house! DO NOT tell me to do it, I want to make that choice, when I want to, and the job will be done!!  ITS MY BLOODY LIFE!! Now, another glass of wine is in order and then a smoke and I might wash up in my box-kitchen….
