Well, there’s a thing. In this post I mentioned that we had received an Easter card intended for another set of Braggs entirely.
I was kindly directed to a Rhiannon Bragg on friendsreunited by ShadowTail, who posted a comment on my blog.
£7.50 later and I sent off a message…
I received a reply, and bingo! Owner located!
Weirdly, [...]

I awoke to a great commotion outside the bedroom door – the Mogret was miowing/blorping/chirping excitedly and insistently.
Then we noticed the half-a-whateveritwas that she was consuming.
Well that’s nice, Cat: bring us a present and then get overexcited and eat it yourself. Thanks.
I guess it’s baby-bird season, and there’s no amount of beeping collars that will [...]

So, the pixie and I accompanied most of my work colleagues to ten-pin bowling this evening. Well, we watched, they bowled – it all looks scary.
Sky sports was on the TV alongside the bowling-score screens. I was idly watching the Arsenal match, as one of my colleagues had gone to the match tonight, instead of [...]

The lost Easter card mystery becomes even more mysterious: the card is addressed ‘Holyport’ rather than ‘Maidenhead’.
I had first assumed that they had simply consulted the phone book for ‘Bragg’ and assumed that I was their intended recipient. The phone book lists our address as ‘Maidenhead’, as does bt online.
Curiouser and curiouser.
We are no closer [...]

This morning a lovely handmade Easter card was delivered through our letterbox. It was addressed to ‘Mrs R Bragg’ but with our address. I didn’t obviously know what the envelope contained, so I assumed it is easy to mistake a K for an R while copying out something. So, I opened the envelope.
Inside was a [...]

Some time ago, I mentioned to my husband that I would find it amusing if eyelids made a clicking noise.
This has resulted in sporadic outbreaks of making-clicking-noise-with-tongue-while-using-eyelids. Using eyelids? Operating eyelids? Whatever, you know what I mean.
It looks amazingly cute and funny, although that could be because philb is unbelievably pixie-like. He looks rather like [...]

Today, along with most people with email addresses, I received yet another phishing email. It wasn’t a particularly fancy looking email, and it was purportedly from a bank that I don’t even bank with. That’s reassuring in a way, because if I receive spookily targetted phishing emails, I will start to worry. A lot.
It makes [...]

We were starting to get a little concerned: she’s not allowed out at night, being nigh-on impossible to see, and it’s now dark. We’ve been calling and calling but no Mog.
Then, next door’s conservatory door opens just enough to allow a cat to leave, and then closes again. Suddenly the Mog appears at the end [...]

I have decided it is now warm enough for our lemon-children to venture out into the sunshine. Of course this now means that I can take pictures of them, ably assisted, as always, by Mogret.

Waitrose organic pre-prepared pineapple (in the chiller section) and half a pink grapefruit make for a yummy lunch.
Philb pointed out that the addition of some lemony goodness might have improved the blend still further, but by the time he did so, lunch had been consumed. Something to note for next time.
Incidentally, it is worth paying [...]
