Bloated plutocrats. Coffee.

whathoHere's me guilt-tripping my holidaying parents like a big 'un.
Text from Mother: Have just passed the Arctic circle. Big pointy mountains in distance.
Text from Me: Great! Am just going to Tesco to buy an onion.
I do feel slightly ashamed. But I am properly happy that Mother is pootling around in the Arctic circle zones and seeing amazing things. She writes highly amusing texts too. She wrote one in which she called my father a 'bloated plutocrat' because he'd booked first class tickets on the train to Gatwick (so, much deserved censure in my opinion). And she informed me with glee that the toilet in their cabin had a notice on it that said 'PLEASE DO NOT THROW STRANGE THINGS INTO THIS TOILET'. Presumably boomerangs and the like. Star fruits.
I'm very tired, you know. I brought it all on myself. I went to bed at around 2am and then the small lady cat beast came at woke me at half hourly intervals by bouncing on my head and saying 'Brrrrrrrroooooow' until eventually I swore at her and she went to try the same treatment on my brother. Then I got up at about 8am. And now my head is all swimmy and I'm drinking coffee, which is not a thing I do very often, but it's kind of fun and makes me feel like a lowly reporter on a biggish newspaper. Huzzah.

Date: 2006-07-23 05:07 pm (UTC)I have a Photoshop thingy open with a disembodied head of Jeeves in it, and I do not have the heart to delete him! Very hard to tell him he has served his purpose, icon-wise...

Random: For ages I thought you only had the once icon, and then one day you used a different one and I was SO confused. I have a rather strong image-word association thing with LJ, I think.
