  • Of Mops and spooky happenings

    Missis Mop seems to be in relatively good health. Already a timid kitty, the trauma of “being cornered in a room with no hiding places then shoved into a box, driven 5 miles to a brightly lit strangely smelling room where some strange woman shoves a thermometer up her bottom, then having her long claws…

  • Missis Mop

    Missis Mop went to the vets tonight. Her cystitis has returned. The vet was very nice though and she was very good for the vet. Missis Mop had a little injection of pain killer/antibiotic and has been purring away like a happy kitten all night. She also has to take some Cystaid and some weird…

  • Weekend

    Too long off makes badger a lazy, overweight and unhealthy slob. I need to get my Academic/creative teeth into something. Tomorrow I’m going into college to edit my film (it’s not finished filming yet and I don’t think it will be). Today Mrs Gnomepants and I looked at bathrooms (this is the second time we…

  • Lost

    For the first time in what seems like for ever I don’t actually have anything to do. Lately I’ve been feeling guilty about sitting at the computer and writing things because surely there are other things for me to be doing? Like fixing up the house, selling the Mondeo or getting the Vectra MOT’d and…

  • Spuds

    The more eagle eyed of you will probably remember that 2007 was to be a potato free year for me. The start of the year was good. Avoiding potatoes was initially easier than I thought. Probably because my main source of potato was crisps. Finding a maize based substitute was easy. My thanks and eternal…

  • Day 3

    Day 3. The cold is unabating. Feet and hands have turned blue. Oates, the blasted fool, his fingers blackened with frostbite asked if we wanted anything from the Brierley Village stores then left the house. His parting remarks “I am just going to get some fags and may be some time” chill us further to…
