Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Play Time

Its all very easy to get caught up in the fast pace of life and miss the simple fun things. A few weeks before Christmas I was having a pretty crap time at work with one thing and another, so when we got home I was ceremoniously plonked onto the living room floor with a piece of string* and two very playful kittens.

The reason I mention this now is that as I sit here alternating between bits of work work and me stuff, it took a kitten to wander over and savage my hand in a playful manner for me to remember that its often the simple things in life that are the most fun. True I needed a second kitten to come and save me before I lost complete use of said hand, but as they now lie purring quietly on the hallway landing exhausted after a good fight, I do so wish that I remembered the thereuputic value of kittens and kitten time more often.
