Scorpions, toilet roll cores, mend & make do and missing dogs

Where are these scorpions coming from? That is the second one I've found in my bathroom, this time skulking around in my bath tub.  As I haven’t yet had the pleasure of using said tub I tossed that sucker outside, suspect it will come back in and bite my ass at some point. 

Whilst on the subject of bathroom, I would like to point out to my daughter that hers is not the only household that suffers from empty toilet roll syndrome, but at least I get little messages and pictures on my cores.

On the weather front it started off quite nicely, lulling me into a false sense of security and allowing me time to hang out a load of washing, of course once I had completed the task and sat down for lunch the heavens opened and my washing is now getting an extra rinse.

I ventured into work this morning and was greeted by one of the staff claiming the secretary was not in the office today, I just smiled and told her not to worry as I knew what I was doing and continued on my way, ten minutes later a rather blustery secretary burst through the door.  I don’t know what she thinks I am going to get up to but it makes me chuckle.  I think she is secretly pissed off that I have worked out the passwords and don’t need her assistance, and in turn she can’t snoop on what I am doing.  On the good side I managed to get a couple of responses from my Liqueur inquiries, one of them from a completely confused Russian, and after reading his email I am more than a little confused myself J

I spend yesterday in the “mend and make do” mode, using some odd strips of fabric I had kicking around I fashioned a duvet cover and dressed up some plain pillow cases.  

and if you flip it over...taaaaa daaaaah...

Every girl should sleep on a bed of roses!

I've now run out of fabric and am itching to make something else...so in the meantime I will just have to make do with a cup of tea.

Prince Giacomo has been missing for the last three days L  He got out to chase off two stray dogs and that was the last we saw of him.  He’s either found a bitch and is exercising his right to spread his seed or he’s found himself a better food supply. Either way he needs to get his act together before I am tempted to rent his space out to a goat!
