Really sad to find out our local Owl Centre was severely flooded in the huge rain we had up here on Friday. They place is wrecked and they lost about 4 lovely birds. I was there a couple of weeks ago for a day out with Dan and his parents. It's a lovely place with really happy healthy animals and the staff are fantastic. I'm way too emotional about the birds.

That is dreadful news.

I am on hold to Ikea. I have been for the last 45 minutes. I am cross.

I'm not sure I could hold on for that long. What's happened anyway? Did they forget to put screw A in with your new bedside table?

Yep - apart from the fact it is a coffee table. I need a screw. That's it.

I've put them on loud speaker and cleaned the bathroom.

Although they keep fooling me. It all goes quiet, so I think someone is going to answer...then the automated voice says "thanks for holding". Arrrrgggghhh.

I've played wheelchair basketball. It's the most difficult sport I've tried. Also they beat me up and left me for dead! Well not really, just felt like it. The difference to the advert was I was the only one who didn't use a wheelchair.

My eyes are hurting from excessive rolling.

Day gig shortly. I'm not expecting much of a turnout.

How'd it go?

If I were to put a value on not having fungi growing on bits of me, it would definitely be over £16.79.

Fairly well. Day gigs are always odd because they tend to be quieter and people aren't so quick to laugh. I did alright though.

Does that chat up line ever work?

YW.

I like to think sootyj was being too much of a gentleman to take the bait in this case, but that's a scary thought.
