Who pulled the pin out of the grenade

.

S and I

were discussing who is in the top 10. Watched a Lady Gaga video, he becomes wide eyed, tells me I should dress more like her. I oblige, bought myself a paid of new dark sunnies. Only too happy to please me!

What does a

Japanese ham sandwhich look like? Apparently this is what I need to be looking like when doing one of the postures at yoga. A forward bend where no light, no air enters and you should look like a "japanese ham sandwhich". Makes me crave a pesto chicken wrap.

Recyle

Sent S old mobile to Mazuma to get some cash, argos card with £75 spondoolies duly arrived today. Got my eye on a coffee machine. Problem is they type of coffee machine I need does not actually exist. Coffee machine needs to have a motion sensor on it to know i am approaching. Hot coffee needs to be ready within about 15 mins of being awake.

I dont get the normal type of awakenings that other adults do (sans kids), mine are usually boy jumping up and down on my bed declaring he is ready for the day. The machine also needs to know to make weaker coffee during the day. I have a max of two coffees or I am something akin to a wired mongoose.

Machine also needs to be self cleaning or dishwasher proof. This is not because I am lazy and I dont clean, its becuase when I clean the current coffee maker out in the evening, it makes me crave coffee.

15.75

grand sum I made from the nearly new sale some months back. Was informed by one of the mums that next sale is in June. I dont think I will be going. Somehow I see a lie instead.

Roundup

Went to see Mama for four days. Had a great time, really enjoyed just being an adult and not having much more responsibility that choosing what to have for dinner, and where the next lot of ice cream / pastries were coming from. Best bit was trying to squeeze a rolled up super king size matress into the saloon car I hired. I would love to get hold of the CCTV footage from the parking lot where we accomplished this minor feat.

Kids are good, they really missed me nice to have some proper cuddles when I got back. D and K came down with the twins. Very quickly realised I was out of "how to entertain a small baby" mode.

Bikram yoga force is still stroing with me. I can now do the whole class without feeling the need to collapse in a heap. I can even do a mean eagle. AM going to sign up for unlimited yoga. S cleared me for 3 classes a week. going to be fun fun fun.

Got a massive package through from Z for the kids. It would seem that she has bought half of Zara. C now has 2 leather jackets and a barbour jacket. Madam still wanting everything pink. We have what I think are long and meaningfull conversations about how lovely purple and red are. She looks deep into my eyes and says she loves pink. May have to give in on some pink items....

Musings on milestones. This year will mark 17 years with S and 30 years in this wonderful country.

thank you for your email

regarding my ant order. Before I go ahead and purchase the insurance for an extra £2, please can you clarify what exactly the ant insurance covers? For instance:

1. Are you expecting me to take the ant to a vet to find out what is wrong should they seem lifeless? I am not sure my local vet has an ant specialist?

2. You mention about needing insurance for hot or cold periods. Can you provide me with the temperature tolerances for the ants?

3. Do ants really get lost in the post? Cant you just emply an ant eater to track their pheromones or something?

Thanks in advance.

Anxious future ant farm owner (well, not actualy owner, more the caretaker).
