Cornjulio! It's cold here!
Remember that scene from beavis and butthead go to America where they're on the plane? I am strangely reminding myself of that as we speak as it is BLODDY FREEZING and I am wearing two perfectly good yet completely seperate outfits superimposed just for warmth (nightie and slippers! hiking gear!). This includes a hooded fleece with the hood up - ears covered, nose and mouth covered by the fleece, so ever breath heats up the entire ensemble. House sitting catty is under the quilt. No small victory after my ongoing struggle through the night to stop him from from doing just that. only because I'd put fresh white flanelette sheets on and didn't want cat hair all over them, not yet. Mind you I knew he'd get under eventually. I just emailed in an essay, weeks and weeks late but so exciting nonetheless. My house sit house has kids (not at the moment, they took them with them). Am experiencing strange clucky response to all the ítsy bitsy shoesies and funny little animal toys, which i don't normally do. I think I'm premenstrual (or is that my biological clock ticking?) I'll know for sure if I start crying over ABC documentaries - oh hang on, I do that anyway.

Wishes and kisses...
