It occured to me, while I was watching Cardcaptors, that It'd be a shame if Sakura's brother, Tory, and his 'friend' Julian weren't keeping the neighbours awake with steamy Bishie sex...

The cubs called me into their room tonight saying they couldn't go to sleep because they were 'creeped out' by something they'd scared themselves with (couldn't decipher what it was) so I reminisced with them about happy Ham-ham moments until they didn't feel scared anymore, then we discussed - enthausiastically - how each of the ham-hams would deal with the scary thing (Boss would yell at it, Bijou would tie it up in ribbons, Howdy would sweep it away etc)...
Don't laugh, it worked! *grin* And then I suggested we could make some Ham-ham pillows for them to cuddle - I left them happily discussing which character they'd like to have. This is good it means I probly won't have two little bodies creeping into my bed tonight.

Mmmmm... cooking programs... food porn...
I like cooking programs, there's something very viscerally satisfying about watching someone create beautiful food - and then eat it...

I saw some lovely things at the Garden Centre today. By 'lovely things' I mean, of course, 'tat'. : )
As well as the fishie pond 'spitters' there was this really cool hollow rock thing that had frogs on it - you put a lighted candle inside and the light shines through the frogs.. My mum would love that! And multi-coloured flower pots, sets of 3's in purple, pink, orange, yellow...
I bought a little fern. If I can keep it alive it will be the start of my portable fernery...

It's kind of odd, but Bubblegum Crisis is the only program I can ever remember watching where I don't notice the time passing. I'm always surprised when it's finishing. And annoyed, cos it means I have to wait a week until the next episode.
Going to have to get the dvds...
