A Day in the Life at Fleurtations day 30

  • Wake up from a wretched dream where I'm being persued by a group of Second World War German soldiers armed with machine guns and, very curiously, long spears. I escape into the Venice canals to the soundtrack of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" being sung by Dennis Hopper who has a long grey beard and no legs, I must stop eating cheese before I go to bed!
  • This is officially "Jellycat day" where I spend virtually all day optimising the jellycat "search by animal" pages but first it's a quick trip to the flower market, check emails, breakfast, phonecalls, several deliveries and I'm ready.
  • Todays CD, playing on the laptop, is the brilliant Nick Caves "The Boatmans Call", an absolute must for every true music fan.
  • Sorting jellycat into individual animals is a cracking idea, not only is it easier to find the appropriate toy but it also gives the opportunity to optimise the pages specifically, so the cats page found at http://www.fleurtations.uk.com/jellycat_cats.asp centres around Loppy Cat and Pickles Cat. I realise of course that to a complete outsider this sounds like total jibberish but to the "Webmasters" fraternity it's wholly understandable.
  • Finish at around 20.00 and decide on a gentle amble to the pub, I'm beginning to sound like a rampant alcoholic.
  • By the time I leave the pub I really do sound like an alcoholic, tonights "put the world to rights" topic has centered around the governments lack of investment in nuclear power because it's not a popular vote winner, giving rise to the very real prospect of the lights going out in just over 5 years time. The potential use of hydrogen as an alternative energy supply was touched upon but soundly lampooned on the grounds that a squirrel farting would be enough to detonate an entire shipment!
  • Arrive home, watch the recorded highlights of Match of the Day, which when later tested upon couldn't remember a single fixture never mind goal, must stop drinking it can't be good for you. Goodnight.
