Owing to my pathetic fear of hairdressers, I have just hacked off chunks of my own hair. It is now possible to actually get a brush through it without spraining something. I consider this all I can ask for from a hair-cut.
As a result of this, I found myself having to explain to Philb what [...]

Our local stray, Random Cat, has been accused of having problems with his left eye. Wednesday, it was seen to be leaking pus and ickiness, so this morning he was escorted to the V – E – T.
Now, since I’d had a conversation with my mother-in-law about transport and such, which Random overheard, he hadn’t [...]

..are now over. Well, they were over at about 11am on Wednesday, but it has taken me this long to get round to saying thankyou for all the kind wishes from my friends. Thank ye muchly, you lot, it cheered me up no end.
I’ve spent the last couple of days whining and complaining about discomfort [...]

Yet again I’m stealing wi-fi in order to foist my opinions upon the world. I’m perched upon the sofa of my mother-in-law, fretting and eeking about the fact that I have a very minor operation scheduled for 07.45 tomorrow. Not that I want it to be a major op. I’ve just never been operated on [...]

Much to Mogret’s disgust, I have given her the Wrong Food to eat this morning. What is wrong with me? Can’t I see that it is clearly inedible? Am I trying to poison her?
It’s amazing just how many expressions of digust and horror she manages to wrangle her little splotchy face into.
Sadly, for Mogret, no [...]

We were rudely awoken by a cat this morning. This is a normal occurrence; what made this morning different was that it wasn’t Mogret that woke us. It was Random Cat.
There was a tinkly shattering noise from the kitchen at about 05:10 this morning. The alarm clock was not due to summon us from sleep [...]

Today we went to Swansea. And back. To pick up a broken synth from a very nice man.
We left our house at 8:20 this morning, and arrived in Swansea at 12:05. Which isn’t too bad, seeing as there was a rail replacement coach between Cardiff and Swansea.
We spent the afternoon bimbling around Oystermouth and the [...]

Words cannot describe the sheer elation we feel right now. Random cat has been found and safely relocated back here.
About 20:15 this evening, we had a phonecall from the vet to say that Random had been spotted in their car park and that they would try and keep his attention until we could get there. [...]

I wish more than anything that I hadn’t tried to take Random Cat to the vet. He escaped from the cat box in the car park, and is now lost and alone in a strange town. Words cannot describe how awful I feel. He’s such a timid cat that even if anyone sees him, he [...]

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, [...]
