Today the cats:
- knocked "Nobody Writes to the Colonel" (by Gabriel Garcia Marquez) into the water bowl and turned it into papier mache.
- destroyed a ball of plastic string, and attempted to eat it (luckily they failed at that one).
- knocked the feedpipe for the washing machine out and flooded the bathroom while I was at work - I have no idea how long the water was running for.
However, I did manage to trim the obnoxious lumps of tangled fur from around the dog's eyes and mouth while he was asleep. (It is impossible to do this while he is awake, as he takes objection to scissors appearing anywhere near his face.)
I've been watching quite a lot of Tony Hart stuff on youtube. I hate to admit this, but I can actually remember watching 'Vision On' (either it was a repeat, or I was very young). I don't mind admitting that I'm quickly recalling every little detail about 'Take Hart' as that was my generation, but I really should have been too old for 'Hartbeat' (I still watched it, mainly for Morph).
For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, here's a
guardian page with links to all of them (ignore the Ricky Gervaise interview, please).
