After Oven didn't turn up at all with our food order last weekend, I drove down to get our Sat night take-out. After mistaking me for some other order that hadn't turned up, we got a muffin free. On a two person meal. The first time our delivery was late- due to a car breaking down- we got two muffins. Nothing at all for all the other times food has been late due to their incompetence. We're not addicted to the food you understand. Nope- not us. We went to see the guys (and girls) putting on the Full Monty on Wed night- opening night. We had a marvellous time. It was good to watch, the crowd was good. I even cried a little bit. We dressed up for Vicky's Mum's work's Hallwe'en doo. Our Jack and Jill was a work of art and Harry was very cute as a purple bat. He cried almost straight away with the noise of the other kids. He settled though after some Father Son Row, Row, Row Your Boat-ing. He tucked into the cucumber (read 'sucked') and lapped up later attention. We were planning to go t'Whitby on Saturday, but Vicky's cold finally got the better of her. So, having missed the sunniest day, we went to Whitby on the wettest, windiest, coldest day. Harry was in his new stroller- purchased with Whitby shops in mind. The wind blew the rain cover flat upon his face. My trousers were pretty much wet through in five minutes- it's the sideways rain you see. G Tags: ljpost

Harry's thing at the moment is to laugh at me. He's cottoned on to the rest of the world! However, what makes him laugh one day only gets a smile the next. With his laugh being so infectious, when he is nuts I just have to keep doing what I just did that got a laugh. Today it was jumping. Vicky was Harry's voice today, calling me back to jump again so Harry would laugh, so Vicky could be tickled too. This weekend one of our cats went missing for a couple of days. Merlin, as usual, had an ingenious escape route going on to get past my cat-netting, to leave the yard. Zombie must have been watching and also found it to not require great agility and disappeared. I did quite a bit of hunting, but I suspected all the places I could look locally were where she wouldn't be- when she does leave the yard, she usually does so for 20 mins max, coming back to the comforts of the house. If she was away longer, she wouldn't be volountarily so. However, she did return- probably when someone noticed they'd locked her in somewhere. We were quite worried. She was ever so attentive all that day, glad of the comforts of her half of the couch. I improved the defences to cut off that escape route, but Merlin's still escaping. G Tags: cats, harry, ljpost

Today I am wearing a jumper. I was yesterday too- at home and at work. Summer is great! I was checking the thermostat and central heating last night just in case it got really frosty. It was 19.5°C indoors last night, the thermostat is usually set to somewhere between 18 and 19. I did the weather double-take today at lunch. Even though I'd just been driving through the rain, I went out, came back in, then set off out again with my umbrella for some wind and rain fencing- I have no intention of letting my favourite brolly blow inside out. After a recent cactus obsession, I went to Wilkinsons looking for herbs in indoor terracotta pots. Observing the offer to be 3-for-£5, I carefully selected three pots. At the till, they rang in for a total of 6p. The cashier asked me for 6p without batting an eye-lid. I queried it, knowing, incorrectly, I'd instantly regret it. She called someone over. Apparently they can't offer the 99% discount, but she can give me 75%, totalling £1.50. Only on my way out did I notice the big sale signs hanging throughout the shop, but no idea if it was a 75% off selected items sort of sale. Feeling rather generous, I chucked some money in a charity bucket- bless him for standing in the cold. I've done standing in the cold before for not much; blowing my own horn too. To top of an odd lunch, there was a singing policemen, with brolly. Not quite my cup of tea, though at some point last week I was quite impressed to see two characters similar to the rubbish-heap dwellers from Labyrinth- dwarfs carrying their entire possessions (picked from the rubbish-heap) on their back- wandering through town.
