Well I had a relatively pleasant visit to my parents yesterday. Some of that may perhaps have been due to Robert being out for the great portion of it and when he did return he wasn't sober enough to stay awake for more than about half an hour so my nerves did not have a long time of unnecessary tension to contend with. Generally though the day was quite nice with much petting and playing with cat, and a visit from a friendly local nuthatch, a most delightful little bird. Parents though had made plans, after recently returning from voyages in the south to be going up to Lindisfarne, and then onto Scotland, today which would have put me back on kitty tending duties. It seems however that the weather has put paid to such plans and so they are staying put for the time being. They do it seems still plan to make a trip at some point so I remain on alert, in readiness to leap into feline feeding frenzy at a moment's notice!

I'm not entirely sure I'm very capable of doing much at all today though. I seem to have unfortunately been possessed with a bit of a squishy head today and a somewhat disgruntled digestive system. So, not really in the friskiest of states for the start of the week. Hopefully I shall manage to perk up though. As it is my mood tends toward the downcast and melancholic today. My default settings of angst, anxiety and negativity being more difficult to shrug off when energies are having to spent on the immune system or the fending off of whatever bug may have got in and such. Ah well, I shall now slither off once more and try and summon the energies to engage my brain in some vaguely productive activity or other. For some reason my interwebs has been particularly disobedient over the last few days. Smrrs. Ah well, in the meantime hopes everyone be a little more on the perky side than myself and hopefully too the week should brighten up a little once it has properly got going. And stuff.
