Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Car's all fixed! I wasn't able to leave early enough to collect it tonight but it's a simple thing to stroll to the garage in the morning and collect it. Hurrah!

Met FogHorn's other half for the first time today - he needed the car so rode with us to work. Nice guy, as pleasant as I expected having spoken to him on the phone several times. He's celebrating landing a new job, he was made redundant a few months back, so yay for him. They both made me laugh this morning: their daughter has been in Spain for the past week on one of those exchange visits and they were saying she's had four hours sleep for the past couple of nights and doubtless won't sleep a wink on the plane home tomorrow, so they're fully expecting to be living with a velociraptor for a few days :D I bet Mr FogHorn will be glad to go out to work again!

Right, football match has started (Arsenal v. Liverpool and I'm very conflicted about who I want to win - I usually cheer for Arsenal but if they win tonight, it'll only aid and abet Manchester Utd. Bah!) so I'm off to watch that! Hee!

So Rob the Furball's fine now. After a fairly lengthy sulk yesterday, he came back all purry and friendly. So I guess he just had a mad moment. He's currently purring very loudly in my ear :)

Forgot to mention yesterday that I gave a large box of Belgian Chocolates to FogHorn as a thank you for all the chauffeuring she did before Christmas. I mean, she really saved my bacon and I wish I could have done more than one box of chocs, but she was really chuffed and quite moved that I'd bought her anything. She did ever so well, she lasted a whole afternoon before cracking like an egg and opening the box :)

Hee!

Work was ok but if I never see another A5 envelope again, I'll be happy. I stuffed 500 envelopes today - this is the parent checks for last term. Should have gone out before Christmas but I never got the time. Ah well, better late than never :)
