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.

get stuffed
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.
