OK, no more quizzes for me. I just took John S's and was so wrong abut virtually everything, it was downright embarrassing. My only excuse is that I have a purring kitty on my knee which distracted me - come to think of it, said kitty is even now stopping me from doing anything constructive. I am pinned. So, in other news:

Aragorn the scar looks like nothing much, but he well stings.

The present I have bought Larians for Christmas has just turned up in the post. This is the only piece of Yule shopping I have done so far.

The kittens are wonderful. Their characters are very distinct; Surya is delicate and dainty. She likes cuddles but is a little more shy than Ralik, who is an utter cuddle slut and gronfitter, especially of food intended for humans. Both scrap, both purr, both are very interested in the forbidden room where the gerbils live, and both love the fireplace, too much for my comfort. Their game of choice is to roll around on the hearth in fights a bit like those in early Star Trek, the ones where the protagonists are tied together by their wrists in hanky-knots, stripped bare to the waist and armed with strange alien kitchenware:
'Duhdehduhduhduhduhduhdehduh! (swish toothpick with menace)Duhdehduhduhduhduhduhdehduh! (riposte with tin-opener)
Duhdehduhdehduhdehduhdehduhdeh!'(utensils clash, world quakes. Repeat at will.)


Some extraordinary chums have bought me an extraordinary gift pretty much out of the blue; a week studying trance mediumship at a college dedicated to this sort of thing. It starts this coming sunday. I am sure it will be interesting and am seriously looking forward to it - it comes as a major if very welcome surprise.

Strange though, some serious stuff has come up and I am ill inclined to talk about it. My dear LJ has become a place for me to just rattle off the nonsense in my head, not a place for serious conclusions. So time to stop procrastinating and go get things done!

If you change your mind and feel the need to talk about the serious stuff, please feel free to give me a call.

Are you ok? You probably know this already, but if there's anything I can do, just yell.

Don't worry about getting stuff wrong on my quiz... it was deliberately hard and designed to catch people out. Cos I'm mean.

I won't offer a sympathetic ear as you have much better qualified ears on offer already; suffice to say that I hope that all resolves itself well.

Thanks for making me feel better about the quiz - I am used to being crap but on that occasion I astonished even myself!

On an unrelated and less meaningful thread - can we catch up soon? Was thinking along the lines of walking, good food and the likes?

That would be fantastic.

When Larians wakes up, I will ask him about dates. When would be good for you?

We are busy the first weekend in Decemeber, and obviously over christmas/new year. There is an FLM the second weekend in January. Otherwise we are free :) Let me know where would be best as well - not sure how you feel about introducing the Husky to the kittens - although he is very good training as he'll just sit stock still and wait for them to get bored of attacking his tail.

I very much want the kittens to get used to dogs, and I can't think of a better teacher for them than Navvy! I am sure they'll work things out for themselves when they meet him.

We'll get back to you with possible dates asap!
