Giant Monster!!!

There is a monster in our house! His hairy feet and shiny claws prowl the corridors, striking terror into those who encounter him. Fearful felines scatter hither and thither to get away from his menacing roar!

Well, actually, it's one of a pair of novelty slippers I bought at much-reduced price the other day from Tesco. The "menacing roar" is simply the hoover, which the cats can't stand, but is necessary when revealing the carpet under the cat hairs and other debris that's currently sticking to our socks!

Early blip today - something crossed off the jobs list and a mark of efficiency. If something else really blipworthy happens, then that's just the way it is.

Meantime, we're greatly relieved that the forecast snow fell as rain here, meaning that we can continue with life and we don't have to start cancelling stuff again or trekking around in wellies.

Furthermore, long-awaited jobs are still getting done. I have nearly gone a whole working week without chocolate or alcohol, and a day in which I sit at my desk, stand at my music stand, do a bit more housework, and eat another salad for lunch awaits my attention!
