Since the lockdown has been extended (which you wouldn’t guess from looking around here, everyone seems to think “yaas man, early summer holidays”), I forgot to post some Pony mail I got before I moved. Again. Meet Bright Eyes. Not to be confused with the character from My Little Pony Tales, Twinkle Eyed Bright Eyes […]

Fifth Time’s the Charm
It’s not really. This is the fifth time I’m moving house thanks to unforseen circumstances all round. I was saving my energy to take a trip to Glasgow, but it’s ended up all my energy has gone to moving. During a pandemic. And a lockdown. When people aren’t supposed to be out. I don’t do […]
Grand Master Piggles
Meet Piggles. Piggles has been in my care for five years now. I don’t know how old he is, but given guinea pigs live for up to ten years, it’s safe to assume he’ll be around a few years yet. He is my boy. We’ve been through the wringer a bit, Piggles and I. When […]
Illness
I seem to have caught a cold/virus that’s been doing the rounds. Most of partner’s workmates had it, then partner, then my mum and now me. Normally when I have a virus or cold, it goes straight to my chest and I’m barking like an old dog. Not so. This time it’s gone into my […]
Chronic Pain
I promised I wouldn’t post much about having chronic pain, but this is one of those nights. I have chronic pain. I’ve had it for almost four years now and nothing seems to help it. Pain Management prescribed me yoga and damned if I’m doing that. I’d rather have a concrete treatment plan than some […]
The Disappearing Cat
This is Rey. She is my cat. Yes, partner and I refer to Carmen the Burring Cat and Rey as “his” and “mine”. Anyway, not the point. Rey is also known as Butthead. Because she is one. This evening after spending the day at my parents for Xmas, I came back to find Rey had […]
Birthday
Got an early present in the form of my grail and addition to my Glory army. My factory error Baby Glory got here, she’s very cute. Her head hasn’t been sealed so every time I comb her hair, her head turns to face me. Pearly Baby Moondancer also got here as well. Well she arrived […]
Thierry the Smiling Turtle
Meet Thierry Leaf Henry. She likes to come up to the front of the tank and splash for attention. Ever since we moved, the turtles have been so much more sociable. Thierry regularly sits at the side of the tank, on the dock to say hello and watch what I’m doing. She was a poor […]
The World’s Most Sarcastic Unicorn
I found the most sarcastic looking unicorn on the planet. Once a week, I go for a wander around town. There’s a shop about 20 minutes away that I go to and I found this fella. It’s nice to be able to go for a walk. Where I am now is a lot more central […]
The Burring Cat
Meet Carmen. Carmen burrs at things. No one has ever heard a cat make this noise at things, especially when she has different burrs. There’s the “Hello” burr that she’ll greet you with each day. There’s the greeting burr when going into the hall and she comes sprinting down the stairs. There’s the annoyed burr […]
