A slightly damp lemuure potters in to the blogosphere

It seems to be raining almost everyday here at the moment. I was out for a short walk ... and you'll never guess what .... more rain. Not just a shower but buckets of the stuff. Luckily I had my little umbrella with me so the fur didn't get too wet and I didn't have too far to go.

I suppose it wasn't too good for the poorly paw paws to be out splashing through the puddles but we still splished and splashed our way back here happily. But, no dancing round the lamp posts like Gene Kelly would've done.

I've done that before but at the moment the poorly paw paws get in the way, not to mention my little rucksack. Gene Kelly didn't have one of those because he wasn't bringing his dinner home that afternoon.

But ....

Singing in the rain, just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeeeeeeling
I'm happy again.

And .. what's fer dinner?

Vegetable cottage pie.

Soon we'll be making these for ourselves with the soya mince, tinned tomatoes and onions and topped with the instant mash.

I am not a good cook to say the least but I'm looking forward to doing these.

A very warming meal after coming in wet from being caught in the heavy rain

Pottering off

Well, a bit late. Tomorrow I hope to get it all sorted out and pad the paws to bed on time .. then I can get up on time too.

Spent my time listening to Van Morrison and clicking the free clicks .. which I had not done today.

So pottered over to

and

http://www.care2.com/


Some days I forget. Today was one of them.


And now it's time, pillies taken, to potter off to the isle of dreams.

Not that I remember mine.

Creatures of the night?

If only I could pad these paws to bed. But I'm late taking the pillocks and have to stay up late to get the last dose of one in for today. Usually it's the other way round and I'm a day time lemuure who likes to slip over into the nocturnals.

Not getting too psychological about this but it probably goes back to my lemuurejehood when my best friend was a nocturnal lemuure. We met at twilight and mum used to let me stay up late to play. I've always thought it would be nice to be nocturnal and day time too ofcourse but I guess even a want to be nocturnal daytime lemuure has to pad the paws to bed sometime.

Daytime? Nightime?

I wonder if it's only lemuuries who have this problem. Half of you sleep at night. The other lot sleep during the day.

We're called after spirits of the night cause lemures is latin for nocturnal spirits. Wonder what happened there. Didn't anyone notice that we weren't all up at night then. Or, were we?

Still, here I am sitting up waiting to take the pills. Not that long to go now then I can turn in for the night.

Mandarines

Well, I've bought a tin of the mandarines from The Works and one from Tescos too. The Works tin is flat and round like a flat tin of pineapple slices and .. er .. the Tesco one is like a round and taller tin of mandarines.

How different can mandarinjes be? In one tin you get a cd and a round booklet (with a few piccies) teaching you 300 words of mandarines. Which works out at near enough 1p a word. Can't remember how much the Tescos mandarinies are but anyway I'm not going to count the segments and work the comparable pricing out like they probably would at the Tescos because a particular lemuure isn't well enough for that right now. This lemuure isn't up to much right now to be honest. 300 words could take a while. But The Works always comes up trumps when I want something to do.

So learning the mandarines is what this lemuure is going to do for a while. I think 300 words (mainly in phrases) is enough for a very poorly lemuure.

including the Nederlandsjies .. though only a few wordjes of this

But if this seems irrestistable to u I eventually noticed that not only was that site trying to tempt u with mandarines but also wiv de Nederlandsjies.

At the new home

I have moved ... blogwise that is. The other move'll be taking place when the poorly paw paws and the rest of a poorly lemuure are back padding the road to health again.

My old blogosphere address is

http://lemuuresblog.blogspot.com/

Just trying out the moving I suppose.

Actually, there was a bit of a problemo and this seemed the easiest way to sort it out at the moment so here I am at my new address. Though when I move the poorly paw paws southwards I will be returning to an old address. So, maybe, later on, I'll return to my old blogosphere address too.

But, fer now, here we are at a new address in the blogosphere.
