Disjointed mumbling & stoned cats

I have Kindle the Third!!... it is charged and my books are back where they are meant to be... but I have been good and not turned it on to read them as I have been trying to write... trying being the operative word as for some reason the words would not come as I wanted them to today and I spent a goodly part of this afternoon sitting in front of a fairly blank screen saying "I can't do this".... which is stupid because I know I can and what's more I will, today was just not a day for writing apparently

Nor was it a day for trimming the beech hedge that fronts my property....... apparently I should never have been and never will be trusted with the hedge trimmer again as long as my sister lives (it's her hedge trimmer)..... I kept the neighbours amused for a bit (whilst making sure the children stayed well back!).  There was no blood involved, and the house alarm only went off once whilst I was trying to do it... but I might, possibly, have taken a chunk out the wheelie bin, and the gate post... which isn't even near the beech hedge..... erm....

Thank goodness one of my friends is loaning me her husband to come up and finish the trimming in a few weeks!!


Thanks to a conversation yesterday, I am craving chocolate, not just any chocolate, I want chocolate covered coffee beans.... but alas I have none... actually there is no chocolate in the house at all, which I am not sure how this happened as I went shopping today, but it appears that I walked past all the chocolate and didn't buy any!

I did buy cat treats.... sadly cats noticed where I had hidden them and I've just come upstairs to discover they've eaten a month's worth of cat nip filled treats......... They've done a fair bit of racing about and now Hugo is wobbling a bit, and has fallen off the bannister rail, Gina keeps trying to sit on my shoulder and head-butt me... she's being far far more affectionate than usual..... I wonder if they are going to be hyper or chilled out so I can go to bed.... oh no, Hugo is now trying to..... erm, no... that didn't work... must go rescue the laundry as he's just managed to collapse the clothes airer with himself inside it.......
