Mid summer, glorious days

guests departed, frantic tidying done so I finally have space & time to torch. Torch area all clean & sorted waiting for some new creations to happen, but what actually happens next? I get sick!!
Ah yes - get out the worlds smallest violin & play an appropriate dirge!

Most things I can handle...well actually most things I just don't catch. You know the story - everyone gets sick & start dropping like flies with bugs or bots, but the Mother doesn't...why? Because her system is just built that way, it knows it can't take time out - so if it catches anything it's usually just enough to slow her down & make her feel a bit 'yuk' but not enough to lay her flat out. Well that's my theory for not having had a serious cold or the flu in I don't know how many years.

I have a stupid head cold, body aches & I am feeling darn sorry for myself. My body seems to think that it's OK to adjust it's temperature in dramatic steps...one minute deciding that I am in some overly hot, humid tropical location & the next in Antarctica. Talk about short private vacations!!

When I go to bed at 7.30pm one night (after a 1 hour nap from 5.30 until 6.30pm -lol) I know I'm not well - this owl does not do 'early'.
The Mailleman seems to think it's natures way of telling me to slow down - but I have plans for nature. I'm going to pretend it isn't happening & therefore it wont ;o)

Oh well one can still blog in between the temperature changes, even if she can't bear the thought of not being able to hang her stuffed up nose over a hot torch.
Of course a certain kitty got wind of this & decided to bring a mouse inside last night & then proceed to chase said mouse around my torch area. Talk about take advantage - just like a naughty child ;o)



So much for an astute studio cat - when he's not doing this, he's bringing mice into the studio. Time for some retraining methinks!

Well, I hope you got some sleep and are feeling better. Dang nasty bugs, and it's summertime for you-- nothing more irritating than a summer cold.

P.S. He brings *live* mice in to the studio?? Oh, no, kittycat, your cat door would be nailed shut pronto! Dead mice? Ewww, but okay, whatever floats your feline boat. Live mice? Nooooooooooooooooo.

I hope that "said mouse" is also now out of the house! Bad kitty! But then, you did have him, shall we say, emasculated? Oh dear. He must prove himself now. I hope you feel better very, very soon.

Ladies - puddy tat can keep his gifts & offerings. He may well look all sweetness & innocence curled in that furry kitty bed thing (that was bought for a far smaller Bizkit kitten years ago).
The full & most disturbing story is that he did indeed bring a live mouse into the garage... but I knew nothing of it. The mailleman heard him & the kerfuffle, & by the time he got to him dear darling Herculess was on the landing halfway up the stairs.....no doubt about to bring Mummy a gift of dead mouse!
(I was actually doing as I was told & in bed).

Any more shenanigans like that & it will be retrenching, not retraining ;o)
Live mice I don't mind - injured or dead....eeeeewwwwwww!
