.... random rants and rambles. no agenda. yet.

In answer to E's question, C and I did not go bat watching last night because apparently bats are members of Unison and were on strike. Yes, really. We found that out AFTER driving along a maze of twisty turny country roads, up a hill and having to turn around twice, but we didn't really mind because the views were so spectacular. Really, I am quite impressed that bats are mammals of principle.

So. we drove home and watched some bad TV instead, which was great, until C started warring with Brian who was trying to stalk Harrythecat while he was eating. Rather annoyed at being picked up and put on an armchair repeatedly when he WANTED TO STALK HARRYTHECAT, Brian jumped on the back of the sofa behind where C was sitting. Deciding that C was clearly the Devil Incarnate and must therefore be punished, he swivelled round with his back to her and directed a perfectly aimed spray AT THE BACK OF HER HEAD.

Yes.

I yelled "Oh, shit!" as I always do when panic ensues, then chased a stricken Brian around the living room and out of the front door while C ran upstairs and threw herself into the shower, totally grossed out and feeling everything else that people feel when a cat pisses on them (I wouldn't know!).

Poor C did manage to see the funny side in the end. And Brian doesn't know it, but this afternoon we are getting revenge by taking him to the vet, who will no doubt want to stick a thermometer up his bum.
