Once the Calpol kicked in again we got a few hours. He's got 4 teeth coming through at once at the moment. Probably better in the long term to get it over and done with but it must be very painful.
Fireworks seem to have stopped and are now being replaced with Black Friday emails Once again marketing people fail to realise that A. Black Friday is an American thing. B. If you start your Black Friday sales weeks in advance of the actual day and not on a Friday then you just look like morons. and 3. If you get people to buy all their Xmas shopping on days other than Black Friday then it's just early Xmas shopping and nothing to do with any colours or days of the week.
Still, if the Black Friday sales stretch any further from the actual day then they could just start them in January and call them the 52 shades of grey sales. Start with mildly off white Friday around new year, work through the Farrow and Ball neutrals colour charts for a few weeks until you hit "down pipe No26" around mid summer then step up a gear so they can hit proper vantablack by Xmas. They can rename it santablack!
I'm either in the wrong job or the lack of sleep is really getting to me this morning
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

I feel a best seller coming on ! Definitely feel grumpier now, am shredding a fair old amount of newspaper for the local hedgehog rescue - why do some newspapers have staples in? Right faff making sure they are removed. Strong tea required.
Well my sedums arrived in the post today and my wife didn't seem bothered. I earned some serious brownie points last week though so I've probably just cashed those in. The plants are really nice and healthy and they've got a bright, mild week to settle in.

No fireworks here but we do have hunters with guns. If they're about we have to keep the dogs on the lead to keep them safe. Neiter looks remotely like a roe deer, wild boar or pheasant but I was "warned" by Belgian hunters that they were fair game.
In France the hunters even shoot cyclists. At times I wish that was legal in the UK In town last weekend and a cyclist was merrily going up the middle of a one way street the wrong way and forced a bus to stop. When the bus driver tried to explain the error of his ways he was greeted with the one finger salute.
In France the hunters shoot each other too? Stupid sport really, banging around in woods in fluo jackets and being such a bad shot you can't tell each other form a weeny roe deer. They shoot each other a lot in the USA too apparently - hunters I mean, not loons.
My horsey farm neighbour in Belgian had a permit to hunt with a bow, in France cos the Belgians don't allow it. Seems to me a much more skillful way to hunt.
