My beautiful new clock


Serious eyebrows

Good tail display

I've been waiting for ages to be able to afford one of these lovely old German, musical clocks from the 50's. Apart from a bit of surface damage and a few wobbly legs, this one is a gem. The ballroom couple spin around in the room of mirrors, while a tinkly, music box type tune plays. I love it! Thanks Ebay.

Dear old Tiddles

Lovely smile
I'm a big fan of very old taxidermy that looks a bit wrong. Here are two classic examples. What's not to love?

Dogs say cheese




I really want to go and see this photography exhibition at the Kennal Club Art Gallery. It's dogs from 1850-1950. One hundred years of super-cuteness!

3am wake up call

Just as I was singing the praises of Miss Marple, she goes and wakes me up by bringing a live mouse into my bedroom at 3am and flinging it around the place. Luckily I managed to rescue the mouse by catching it in my shoe. (nb: this is the best tactic. I must have used my converse to successfully capture and free at least 25 rats and mice in my lifetime). Meanwhile, Miss M is in disgrace but doesn't seem to care. She's gone all silly and is purring her head off.
