…is one phrase you don’t want to hear on a sleepy Sunday morning. Yes, I know, I didn’t know Sundays had a morning part either but there you go.
The title snippet was uttered by kid-thekid the first this Sunday morning though. I shot downstairs, stopping only to pull on my breeks, (the hoose might be on fire but seeing me in the all together could put my kids in therapy for life, Catty only looks when she has to,) flew into the living room, passing kid-thekids 2 and 3 and burst into the kitchen.
Aye, she was right enough, the kitchen was indeed full of smoke, but hang on, what was the black cinders in the hands of kid-thekid the second? Yes, she had been trying to make toast, using the toaster. This is a good development since nothing is in flames at that moment.
The amount of smoke was amazing though, for 2 slices of toast, which she concurred were inedible, although the bite marks showed she had tried. I opened the windows, gave the kids stern warnings about going in the kitchen when parentsthekid aren’t around and closed the kitchen door.
Not a word on my parenting skills please….

I went into the IRC channel i’ve been in for ever to be greeted with the topic…
Rest in Peace mikee1, we will miss you! Nov. 29th, 2006…Please take a moment to send a prayer or a good thought to mikee’s family
I fucking hate that. I know we need to tell people what’s going on but just seeing it like that is like a kick in the proverbials.
I left a message on our channel blog about it so what I want to say here is….
Just because you might never meet an online friend in real life in no way makes your friendship any less important. When Rare died I was gutted, tears and everything. Now mikee is gone too. In fact I believe as I started on IRC the chan had just lost Kathryn to cancer. This disease is fast becoming my personal nemesis. It takes all the good ones.
To my online friends, I do think about you all. You all matter…

We’ve been doing our Christmas shopping recently and found that we need loads of batteries for all the kids toys. Catty bought them yesterday….
Today I stupidly told my work’mates’ at lunch: “Aye, she spent forty quid on batteries yesterday”. 
…I knew it as soon as I heard myself say it.

Next person who flashes their lights at me in an agressive manner will be stopped at the next junction and have the error of their ways explained to them. See how quick you get to where you’re going now, prick.
