Sometimes You See....

....Things That Are So Amazing That They Take Your Breath Away.



And as we took off back to England.







Soooo exactly three weeks after getting home form Lanzarote, we booked a weeks holiday to the Algarve in May. After all, how can I prove Lanzarote is the best if I don't experiment with other destinations? :-)

Almost a Decade.

8 years tomorrow since my childhood friend passed away.

I'm at work tomorrow because someone booked the day off before I did. I'm a little angry about that as I like to go to the place where.... where she rests? I tell her how I'm doing, ask how she's doing... she never replies though, of course.... Actually, I suppose she may reply but I can't hear her yet.

I often wonder what career path she would have taken, because honestly.... I have no idea. I have thought maybe she would have been a lawyer, but she was too carefree for that and too gentle to have to battle to prove innocence or guilt.

Shop assistant doesn't fit. Doctor?.... Actually, that's a maybe.... but having to listen to people's health problems wouldn't be stimulating enough for her. Nurse? Nope. Heck no. Hairdresser? No that's too fussy for her. Teacher?


Yes.... Teacher. She was smart enough, motivated enough and loved learning enough for her to achieve something so amazing. Miss Hedges, a teacher. I like it.

Lanzarote Tomorrow!

Dear Diary, I love Lost in Austen, Jemimer Rooper is gorgeous... oh, and I'm off on Holiday tomorrow.

Going to have fun much? Oh hell yes!





PS: I hate flying....

TeddyBears Picnic

I went camping at the weekend with my friends Stacy, Ally and Katie. I had an absolutely amazing time, it was so much fun! So much happened that I can't write about it all, and I took so many pictures that I'm trying to sift through them so I can put some here.

I will say one thing though. Next time I go camping, I'm buying an air bed.

Sleep Where Art Thou?

While explaining to my friend that my sleep was being disturbed by the humid feel to the air during the night, she told me that she was having trouble sleeping for a different reason.... which amused me!

"It took me a while to get to sleep, but when I did get to sleep I wasn't asleep for long because the woman nextdoor started shouting at her husband, so I shouted at her, then went to pee."

It's the casual way in which she told me that she had gone to pee after shouting at her neighbour! lol! Because obviously shouting at your neighbour at 6am is normal, and the first thing you do after shouting is pee.

This is turning into a blog about the funny things people around me are saying, but I can't help it if they're funny!

Tent Mayhem!

It says to put the pins in the poles, but how do you put a pin in a pole if there insn't a hole?

HOW?

TELL ME HOW!!!!

At this rate I will be sleeping ON the tent, not IN it! I'm beginning to think that I'm not cut out for this camping lark.... hahaha

Those Things....

I like that my dear friend deeb says "those things" after she has wittered in a long sentance. Teehee.

I'm just home from a house warming bbq that had music and laughter and friends.... Those things

Hug smiley! :-)

Borrowed

"if Superwoman knocked on my door and wanted my Skittles it wouldn’t matter if she were gay or straight I’d still let her taste the rainbow."

Bridget McManus owns that line, but I am So totally, and unashamedly borrowing it.

You Know You're a Really Big Lesbian When....

You Know You're a Really Big Lesbian When....

You're flipping through the music channels on sky then stay on one channel that is playing a song you don't particularly like just because the woman in the video is rather fit.

You watch the last episode of this seasons Lost THREE times just to get your Evangeline Lilly fix(and it's only been finished for five days).

You watch episodes of the South of Nowhere online IN FRENCH just because you NEED your Spashley fix.

You trip over a curb because you were oogling women's goodies.

You spend hours playing on a video editing program making a video of your favourite TV lesbian couple. JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE SO CUTE!!

You assume women coming into your shop to buy condoms are using them on their battery operated friends rather than things attatched to the male of the species.

Your girlfriend accuses you of being too upset that there will be no more Spashley.

The n network? I hate you! I give you a glare that only an angry woman can give!

Nature

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more

Dear YouTube....

Gizmo's Gone

He passed away half an hour ago, in my mum's arms, after waiting all day for her to come home from work. The Pet Cremation service just came to take him, and will bring his ashes back to us on monday.

I miss him already.

Cat's rights.

I.... keep looking at Gizmo. Sometimes I just look at him because I can, because I know that pretty soon there'll be no Gizmo to look at. Where he is laying will simply be an empty space, his food bowl and water bowl won't be on his cat shaped food mat, his litter tray won't be in the downstairs toilet room. There'll be no sign of a cat living in this house, like there has been for the past 16 years.

His back legs are giving way when he stands, he has an infection in his eyes because he won't lay anywhere else I put him. Only near the radiator, which is near a drafty door. He has stopped eating, and that means he has stopped trying to live. I think I need to make the decision not to let him deteriorate any further. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to make that decision until after Christmas and my birthday, but for all I want to keep him here, it isn't fair to him.

I keep thinking, though, that I have this choice. The choice not to let my cat suffer. But Simon doesn't have the choice to ease his father's suffering. Why is it "humane" for a cat to be put to sleep when their body fails or gives up through old age, but human's have to live with being vegetables, with organs that wont work, or with bodies that can't work?

It seems to me, that I have more rights for my cat, than Simon has for his dad. And that's wrong. Human's are so scared of death, that trying to stop it from happening ends up being their life.
