We have chairs to stand on! Volume II, et al
10:10 AM, Thursday, 20 December, 2007
Last night The Cat was hissing through the window* at the neighbour's cat as it crept through the monsteria and caught ANOTHER MOUSE!!! Yehia got a little bit upset and wanted to rescue the mouse, and I was forced to give him A Look.
I have been practicing Giving Looks lately, because I am officially becoming a grinch, as I feel that festivity is overrated. For the last few days we have had Salvation Army fundraisers in the square outside our office, playing Christmas Carols on their trumpets and their trombones for several hours at a time, and my ears are bleeding. There are also lots of tourists blocking the streets, whose ankles I am very close to stamping down upon.
Although I don't have any neices or nephews (inclusive), I have decided that the only way to get through the festive season (it's also Eid at the moment, people, and well-wishes must be made!) is to act the part of "crazy mad old auntie" by drinking copious amounts of Pimms, waving my umberella at people and wearing inappropriate purple.
I'm off to buy a blue rinse.
*What's with cats and hissing? What exactly is it meant to do? It's not particularly scary or intimidating unless they have arse breath, which our cat now doesn't have since having its teeth removed.

What do you mean - festivity is overrated. There needs to be more of it I say. Have another Pimms on me!

Sabine - I refuse to be festive, and will cope via the means of alcohol.
Sam - Thanks for the wishes! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! Mwah!
Note - I realise that I have just contradicted myself, by refusing to be festive whilst wishing festive wishes on others. That's what it is to be Carolyn.
