Long Time No Blog!

I am not dead - at least I don't think so :: pinching myself ::. Yes, I felt that, probably still alive then!

Sorry I haven't blogged for so long. Pinky insisted my computer needed a complete reinstallation, which involved reformatting the hard drives and reinstalling WindowsXP and all my programs and files. Ahem... Installation went OK. Files OK. Programs. Where are all my programs? They're here, but are they working properly? Not so much. Pinky is now known as the CTO, hahaha!*

I'm still gradually getting my programs back in. It's taking, like, a squillion years. I love my computer but all this has dampened my enthusiasm somewhat. Besides which Planet Black Cat is rather in the doldrums at the moment. I haven't even managed to read many blogs or leave comments, even to those who have kindly left comments on my last posting. I'm slapping my wrists and promising to try to do better. I still love you all though!

I've been to the human v-e-t today because my eyes have gone all gummy and itchy. Oh, sorry, that might be too much information. I felt so dizzy on the way there I nearly fell over twice. The doctor took my blood pressure and it was quite high, so what with one thing and another she wants me to have some tests so I have to go back tomorrow (coz Friday is the day the phlebotomist visits the surgery) to have my blood stolen. I shall probaby feel even dizzier after that, haha!

Some cats have asked why I have a sleeping snail on the wall outside my front door:




It's been there for several months but I don't think it can be dead because if it was, wouldn't all its sticky stuff have dried up, causing it to fall off the wall? I don't know, but I heard recently that snails can sleep for three years! However, as this was a Steve Wright factoid, it may or may not be true...

Snowy Sunday

It snowed today! I haven't seen snow for about eleventy-five years (not that I mind, coz I'm unsteady enough on my feet without having slippery stuff under them). I wanted to take photos but by the time I was up, washed and dressed it had stopped snowing and was beginning to melt. Pinky, however, was up early because he was going to a computer market, so he did take photos. He reckoned we had about 3 inches.

Sorry to my American and Canadian friends; this must be so boring for those of you who have had months of snow.

Take care all:) xxx

P.S. To change the subject completely, is anyone else fed up with reality TV? OK, new production of Oliver. Cast Oliver and Nancy already, don't subject us to all the auditions! I know my TV has an off switch or I can change channels but I'm just waiting for the next programme and there was nothing I wanted to see on another channel which didn't overlap. Going now, Tiger - Spy in the Jungle just starting...

No Blog from Me on April Fools' Day (or is there, hehehe?)

There is no blog here, but just in case there is, have a happy day effurrone! :) xxx

Sleepy Like Sunday

::Zzzzz... Zzzzz... Whut?!? ... Zzzzz... Yaaaawn...::




"It can't be time to get up yet. What do you mean it's ten to twelve? Look at the clock man, it's only ten to eleven. That's early for me on a Sunday."

"No it isn't, it's ten to twelve!"

"Oh yeah, it's that time of year again; the clocks went forward.

Aaarrrgghhh!"

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Efurrbody!

Happy Pi Day!

Apparently it's Pi Day today and it seems this date was chosen because Merickians write the date back-to-front, so it reads 3/14, or 3.14, i.e the number of Pi to the first two decimal places. Isn't that great?

So Happy Pi Day efurryone, specially my back-to-front furriends:) Hope you all get to eat some nice Pi(e)s:) xxx
