Funny, the things that spring into our minds!

My friend, in central London, took a wonderful photograph (by chance!) of geese flying across the full moon at this time last year!

oh no, jynier- I interrupt myself incredibly well Grin

I have just drawn a pretty picture of some complicated cellular cycle, and then sploshed my suboptimal machine coffee on it waa

geese, moons, london? really? in my world it might be pigeons, streetlights, a spluttering of cigarette smoke, bus fumes and TB

I have always wanted to see the aurora borealis/northern lights - has anyone seen them? I have also always wanted to go to easter island...

Oh I don't know, I reckon Easter island is very topical Smile

Morning all

Cafe do you know 'black books'? Have you seen Fran dancing? This is how I imagine the Dr Cafe library dance. Grin
I heart Fran lots

Well after a lengthy resettle she finally slept from 10-5.30 with just a few little quacks so I feel quite refreshed. Cafe, I know we've been through this before and I know its because you are a spring chicken and I'm a boiling piece, but I honestly don't know how you stay awake all day and night and still function. I was tripping yesterday and my head was banging. Shock

This bonnet is now bonnet shaped but I'm wondering if she's even well enough to go to this party.....do I hurry to finish decorating it and make a cack job or do we stay home, snuggle and watch sesame street? I've got a crush on Gordon Wink She isn't aware of the party, she is only 16 months and ages coughing Luke the aforementioned stevedore. That precis was so funny by the way, bluey Grin

bluey, glad you went out on the razz Grin. but sorry your son is unwell.

Mrs I hope you two were happily up and chatting but are asleep now. Has MrMrs recovered from his awful shift pattern yet? Rest-wise I mean?

jynier a lovely night to remember your brother by Smile Thanks

Oh yes I used to watch black books!! I am possibly more dylan moran's character though Blush I don't remember the fran dance, may have to google

I am now really confusing my rbain by listening to PHILOSOPHY PODCASTS, making notes on that, drawing cells, dancing, and thinking about law and childcare and how to avoid all social engagements on Saturday

agree bluey hilarious - you should make law podcasts for the cramming student

yay for sleeptime kitty! I don't know, I seem to get a little hyperactive when I don't sleep. then I become zoned out after 2 days, and then crash. I am okay on that kind of cycle, but when I am on one hour, two hours, no more than that, every night... and having to function (as when DS kept me awake all hours and was working full time) I fare less well, make silly mistakes with things, never fully conscious once it goes on for months.

I'm thinking about consequentialism and the paradox of the esoteric morality, AND when does the cafe open so I can get proper coffee... and mainly now thinking about mascara

Have you been in the library ALL night cafe? Impressive. Just staying awake, I would be hallucinatingmay be you were.
My cat is v. Poorly has been limping and is now not eating just sleeping. I have to get her to vets. Now.

Oh dear poor mini cat

yes still here- I intended to leave about 2 hours ago, but my epic procrastination has meant I still have not completed what I set out to- and now my iproducts batteries have all died, and I have eaten vending machine chocolate for breakfast sigh I seriously need a shower- they have them here... hmm.. I've reached that point where I've lost my grip on time. Yes I think that's what happens to me when I don't sleep, time morphs strangely and can go by really fast, which is not ideal

looks sunny outside!

Minimammoth · 27/03/2013 08:26

Vets still not answering. Time to eat breakfast before wrestling cat into basket.she is sitting by her feed bowl giving me that look. Oh dear my poor fluffy. Sad.
Would love to talk with you about esoteric morality, maybe later!

Ooh, Dr Bernard Black? Now it's my turn to swoon

How cool living near black books. Very jealous.

Well the bonnet is finished for what it's worth

I still wish I'd had more time on it, tis not my best work. This is my first occasion of making some item of fancy dress for her and I wanted it to be special Confused Sad, perfectionist. She's oblivious of course Confused Grin

Good luck at the vets, mini Sad

ergh the pesky ex inlaws are still insisting on visiting on a day when I am doing a nightshift, I replied saying, er, no I can't change my hours, and they replied saying they are coming over no matter what I say. they just want to snoop at my flat. Not in the mood right now. It clashes with about 3 other things also. I bought lots of plants when they were meant to come over before, to make myself look ordered and naice. I have killed half of them. I have dried out azaleas and roses in intensive care my kitchen sink Blush

Taking cat in at 2.15pm. She is copied up by fire now. Glad bonnet crisis is over Kitty.
I am on here largely procrastinating about getting my accounts up to date. Or looking in the "office" < small freezing room at the front of the house where I chuck papers keep files

Fluffycat at vets having blood tests prior to course of tramadol. How we are going to get that down her, I don't know. Better get the plasters in.
I am attracted to Trevor the post cart, he sounds a bit racy. Getalife emoticon.
