Reasons to be cheerful

Head state v bad, as Bridget Jones would say. Apart from my own private personal hellish circumstances, let's look at the evidence:

Gaza
Zimbabwe
Congo
World recession and
It's fucking freezing.

Tell me something good, something cheerful, I beg you.

Have you bought that dog silencer yet? I wasn't entirely sure I was clear enough that I was talking about something that works at a distance and that you'd keep in your flat.

Um, re. the freezingness, is it at least picture-postcard perfect? Here the weather couldn't be more wonderful. (Well, obviously +27 and sun would be better, but given the circumstances...) Thick snow, below freezing (which is much more pleasant than just above), wonderful blue skies. Heaven, heaven, heaven.

Otherwise, life is shit, of course.

Here's something. My spare room is looking very colour coordinated. So come and visit - srsly.

You want something cheerful?

I have a Miffy calender up in my kitchen. That's pretty cheerful.

Oh and I am up for that Beckett thing, I'll email you.

Job security as a teacher?

14 days left of the Bush Presidency.

And my blog was rated R! Just cos I said "death", "zombie" and "whore"! What a load of old bollocks.

(Sorry for the repeated comment posts. Trigger finger today...)

Freezing cold is good for the wee birds.

GSE, I haven't bought it yet, since the magic mouse noise repeller didn't work for me I've lost faith in silent alarm boxes that only animals can hear. Plus I think it requires some actual training on a human being's part to make the dog understand what the alarm means - ie an owner who actually gives a shit about his animal and about other people.

BiB, ooh pretty. It's nice when the sun comes out but it's been pretty grey and leaden, which is not helping any.

Thanks, GSE, I want to come and visit. I'll email...

Billy - huzzah! Also, Miffy is good.

Aw Quink, I know you mean it kindly...

Del, good lord! Is that all?

I like wee birds, Timorous Beastie. We only see pigeons and seagulls round here, for some reason. And naughty magpies.

:-(
I didn't realise that. I thought it just caused the dog sufficient distress that it was too busy whimpering to bark.

Yes, I'm not nice.

Anyhow, I'll do some further investigation. I still can't help feeling that it might be worth £20 just to try it.

I can't bear all this Israeli stuff, it's horrifying. Sorry, I have no good news to add.

Why do you want under 13's to read your blog?

I've not even bothered seeing what mine's rated as. :D

Have you forgotten the GIGANTIC SUPERVOLCANO which is about to go off in Jellystone Park plunging us all into a thousand years of darkness?

It's that kind of thing that keeps me awake at night.

I'm up for castrating the dog owner. Fortunately at 14 1/4yrs I wasn't barred.
