Yay, it's Saturday!

It's funny, technically every day is Saturday for me at the moment, but the real Saturday still feels special. I love Saturday :)

I'm currently watching the end of the Sunderland/Newcasatle football derby (1-1 atm) and when it's done, I shall scamper to Morrison's and do a small shop, as I'm out of bread and, horror of horrors, milk! I haven't had any tea yet today! *wails* I also have a strange craving for pork pie....*shrugs* No idea why but I'm happy to go with it :)

The rebuilding of the PC continues. The most tedious thing is replacing all the firefox bookmarks. I have GOT to learn to save a back up of my favourites file on a disc or something. Of course, learning to do backups is something I need to work on anyway. Until this PC, I had been really, really lucky with my computers. I can only assume this PC is karmic revenge or something.

Downloaded the next episode of Numb3rs and will watch that when I get back. At some point, I MUST catch up with SG:A, I'm so behind. Maybe I'll download 'em next week. However, I have shiny, shiny books to cuddle this weekend, so I don't want to download 'em now :)

In other news, I have been kicking the cat out of the lounge at night, for two reasons. One, I'm sleeping on the sofa and the cat can be an awful fidget, especially at 3am when he wants fuss and attention. Two, it's a long term strategy because I am tired of cleaning crap and dead things off the sofa and carpet. To this end, I bought him a very cosy cat bed, one that's like an igloo in shape, so he had somewhere warm and comfortable to curl up in the hallway, which is a smidge on the drafty side. He took to it like a duck to water but until today, hasn't stayed in it long enough for me to get a picture. Oh he slept in it, but as soon I walk towards the hall, he'd leap out and scamper down the hallway. I could only assume he felt trapped in it - maybe it reminded him a bit of his cat carrier - but now he's quite happy just to poke his fuzzy snout out when I walk past. I'll leave it a bit longer, so as not to spook him, and then I'll see if I can get a picture. It's very cute :) Which reminds me, I promised cute cat pics, but realised I lost them all in the reformat and deleted the ones of Rob off my camera :( Fortunately all the really important photos are uploaded to Flickr and Photobucket already but it's still annoying, I had a couple of really cute shots. Oh well. I'll just have to stalk him again :D

I did actually let him sleep in the lounge last night and he was very well behaved. He spent all night curled up at my feet, like a furry hot water bottle :) Didn't try and get fuss and attention once. Hmm. Maybe he's learned. I'll try again tonight and see :) But when I go back to my bedroom, he's still being shut out of the lounge, so the cat bed was a good investment. I will probably still shut him out of the bedroom, I do like to sleep with the door shut, but I may see if he's less of a fidget there too. He'd like to be nearer to me at night, he follows me to the bedroom door and looks piteously at me when I shut it in his face. Aww!
