Mardy Marmite

He was being totally mardy with me because I'd not bothered to go get more wet food and gave him some of our beef casserole instead - wouldn't touch it, and would NOT let me read the paper - in the end, had to sort of lift up corners to read around him. Whatever next??

Anyway, he's now had a bowl of "Whiskas" IN GRAVY, and is once more content.

PS. Apparently mardy (which originated in the Midlands) might come from mar, as in to mar/ruin something.

PPS Whatever the wrongs and rights, was happy to be told by M when he brought my morning tea that we were still together - not him and me, but Scotland and us.
