I took the wolf up the mountain this morning. We wandered for about two hours, not quite lost but a little ... misplaced. It's a little difficult to commune with nature when you're being jerked around by a dog as large as a human on an extend-a-lead, but we did the best we could.

There's supposed to be some burial mounds over the mountain (mynydd in ( Read more... )

To top it off, an idiot driver (in a 4x4 truck) pulled out on to the roundabout whilst I was still on it and tried to force me over so he could go off my exit but I couldn't. Two roundabouts in (the first being the exit from the village). Two roundabouts in to my 45 minute journey!

Am I being punished??!

I decided, a few days ago, that I need to cultivate a more Zen-like attitude to things like idiot drivers and being late or my mother phoning for IT advice and then ignoring everything I tell her and just pushing random things whilst I sit frustrated unable to tell what the hell she's doing ( Read more... )

My computer did a terrible thing, it ate all my emails, my files, my pictures of my nephew and basically refused to play ball. This has been a hard lesson learned in backing up bookmarks and emails and photos (not to mention having a computer that doesn't do things like that ( Read more... )

I've just come home from walking the dog, I like going up to the field when it's dark because a) I know no one else is stoopid enough to go walking their dog up there at night b) nothing will distract the wolf from coming back because of a) and c) should anyone be stoopid enough to walk their dog up there at night they generally stop after the wolf ( Read more... )

Big Crazy (aka Bear the wolf-dog) has taken to jumping on me whenever Little Crazy (aka Puck the kitten) comes anywhere near me. Which is, unfortunately for my lap, often. Bear weighs almost as much as I do and is only an inch or so shorter than me when he stands on his back legs (there's a reason I called him Bear!), I can hear my knees creak ( Read more... )

I am sooo bored! No one wants to hire me and I'm losing the will when it comes to DIY. Fishy the Plumber came this afternoon to plumb in my kitchen sink but the standard Ikea fittings for the waste are to EU specifications instead of UK and so don't fit our pipes. This means no kitchen sink and probably £30 or more to replace the Ikea waste ( Read more... )

I am one of the world's laziest people, I swear. My new fridge arrived, fully boxed, on the 3rd February. It hasn't moved from it's resting place in the dining room since. It became a hat and glove stand, not to mention an 'anything I don't want the wolf to eat' stand. It became part of the furniture and was there so long that now I've moved it the ( Read more... )
