199 that's what they tell me.
199, a significant number...
... for me at the moment at least. A significant number indeed. Oh my goodness so siginificant, if what they say is true. Who knows?
Here's another significant number, 10. 10 is the number of days until we two are due to become we three. Mother and unborn sprog both doing fine by the way.
How about 6 and 6, those are two lots of money I owe.
Ah yes, I was thinking about those two little issues this morning whilst swimming my way back to wakefulness.
Another 10... the number of circuits I do, on my run.
14! The number of minutes I spend on the power plate after my run.
2... the time I must have left for work by.
7... the number of records I must play in the first hour - 8, the number I must play in the second hour.
8 again... the time my wife expects me home.
Life in many ways is governed by numbers. Is this because where we live it's all about money and time?
But 199, now that's the number... or so they tell me.

HOW TO GIVE A CAT A TABLET...
Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding tablet in right hand. As cat opens mouth pop tablet into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.
Retrieve tablet from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.
Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy tablet away.
Take new tablet from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push tablet to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten.
Retrieve tablet from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden.
Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop tablet down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.
Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another tablet from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for glueing later.
Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put tablet in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.
Check label to make sure tablet not harmful to humans, drink glass of water to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.
Retrieve cat from neighbour's shed. Get another tablet.
Place cat in cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick tablet down throat with elastic band.
Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus jab. Throw Tee-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.
Ring fire brigade to retrieve cat from tree across the road. Apologise to neighbour who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat.
Take last tablet from foil-wrap.
Tie cat's front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table, find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed. Push tablet into mouth followed by large piece of fillet steak. Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to wash tablet down.
Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes tablet remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table.
Arrange for RSPCA to collect cat and ring local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.
How to give the dog a tablet
Wrap it in bacon.
Can I just add, these are not necessarily approved methods....

Russell just rang me.
He said that if that Cheryl The Diva is going to watch him do his thing he'll have to backcomb his hair just a bit more than usual and paint a bit more chest hair on and look for a bigger meat product to fill up his flairs!!
He want to know if that's okay for you? :)

Thanks for keeping me grounded for the last hour or so. Now going to make myself even more bloomin' wonderful than I already am!! Hope he likes Gaultier Pour Femme as he'll be able to smell it from the stage!!
Now ... bustier or holey mohair? A gal's gotta be comfy as well as hot!
Tobes - next time he rings, can you ask him if he'll take Clubcard vouchers he can redeem against days out across the UK!!?!
And not sure if you saw my comment earlier Tobes - yes please to the email re #52 yellow and blue!
Wish me luck ....

Was just wondering what was in Diva's shopping that made the check-out lady tut so much, thank you Hazel for clearing that up!!
AliB and anyone else who wants to come and live with me in my idyllic River Cottage-style existence at some point in the future, please feel free to sign up here. We do, however, have to have dogs. I'm not fussed about ducks, but I'll compromise if you will :-)
Right, home time I think. It's very very dark here, we just had a massive hail storm too - it's great being on 7th floor when the weather is so wild!!!
Looking forward to seeing the headlines tomorrow -

When it's haily, I rock around the clock.
And also, clearing up anything to do with Diva's shopping should only be done by someone fully qualified. But I don't know what in.

Bondy - had a v. quick look on YT and couldn't see it - but it may be listed under a wider title. I think we have it on a DVD of a live show in NYC in the early/mid 2000's - but don't hold me to that!

Tobes, it's prEvaricate...not that I want to mislead you in any way...
Further to the mention of Cabaret (which I don't fancy, but don't let that stop you and I hope you have a great time!) does anyone wanna see Little Shop of Horrors in Feb at the Dome? This would be the Brighton one as opposed to any other.
Tony Hart died. Am bereft. He used to live at the bottom of my friend's garden. Not a fairy, just the other side of the fence!
So, Christophe, please can you play the Gallery music tonight sometime?
