It’s been a relatively uneventful week. Plus, I’m still easing myself back into posting crap on the internet. Speaking of which…

The cat was charging around the flat early this morning while Trish and I were still in bed. Which isn’t in itself unusual- there was just something about the way he was doing it that was. He was sort of scuttling across the floor in a weird agitated way like some unseen force had threatened him into dancing. He looked quite annoyed but he sure was busting some moves.

At first I thought he was just being weird in that way that sometimes cats can just act really weird for no apparent reason. Like the way they’ll sometimes spontaneously arch their back and launch a sort of ad-hoc hopping attack at a forty-five degree angle with an inane look of surprise in their eyes.

But it wasn’t anything like that. Oh no. What it actually was was that he had a crap stuck in his arse. And he clearly wasn’t amused. (Who would be?) Actually, it was about half a crap which even by a cat’s reckoning is half a crap too much to have poking out of your arsehole first thing in the morning.

So he kept doing his freaky dance until it snapped off and dropped onto the floor. Then with a confused look he just acted like nothing had happened and got on with his morning routine. At least I know what to do now should the situation arise.

And so tomorrow I’m off on holiday. I’m going to Spain with my mum and dad and Trish. Which will be the first holiday sort of holiday (where the main purpose is to do anything/nothing) I’ve been on for a long time. So that’s good. And despite a recent run of good weather in Glasgow it was pretty dreary today which is a plus in that selfish going-on-holiday way of thinking. I took the opportunity to visit a local car boot sale where I managed to pick up a rather stylish Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles beach towel. It might not be big enough but I’m thinking so what it would make a pretty good cape.

Anyway, we fly tomorrow and we’re there for a week. Hilarity may well ensue in some form or another so hopefully I’ll be able to post some stuff.
