Another unpleasant animal incident. Two in a day!

Herbie the kitten mistook the magazine rack for his litter tray.

Magazine rack, linen, in the bin.

Magazines, catalogues, papers, design file...... in the bin.

Kitten. In the dog house (not literally)

Nasty thing in the car park

I Pulled into the car park at our local Sainsbury's this morning. As I stepped out of my car a huge mangy, rat sauntered between the cars and into the trolley park. I don't think I actually did anything because I was frankly taken aback by how relaxed it looked.

I made a beeline for customer services where I mentioned the flea bitten car park visitor, they pleasantly thanked me for letting them know (but as far as I am aware - did nothing) I had to scoot round selecting items from high up shelves that could not have possibly been anyplace near that thing, all the while dreading going back out the car in case I might find the rat leaning against the car or something, eugh!

Rats and supermarkets - bad mental association, just can't shake it........

facebook - the blog killer?

I just realised that it has been a really long time since I last posted. Over two months which previous to the summer would have been unthinkable! So to all those who dip in every now and then - I guess an explanation might be helpful.

I blame it all on Facebook.

I was probably one of the most cynical about facebook's benefits until I joined in. But now I am finding it just as compulsive as everyone else. It is such an easy way to re-connect with people that you've fallen out of touch with, and keeping up wth friends and family all over the globe is now easier and fun. I do agree with it's critics that a large part of it is essentially a waste of time, but I myself have found it a great tool, and I pick and choose which things I sign up to, tailoring it to the way I want to use it.

I do wonder how many people will actually read this - it is more likely I'll hear from you on Facebook.
