Today is a bit of a nothing day before the Easter weekend - I’m tired and exhausted and cheesed off.

Also, panicking about no work coming in. The life of a freelance copywriter is so full of joy. 😬

Watching the first 4 episodes of The Crown and apart from the ghosts of D and D coming back, I can’t say it’s been anywhere near as bad as the media have implied.

I’m hoping to sleep well tonight. I got out of bed earlier (which for me is quite hard) and I’ve eaten well throughout the day. Admittedly I am starting to feel like I’m flagging.

Black and white photo of a very cute shorthaired black kitten with the sweetest little button nose, sitting up in profile on a desk. Its forepaws are on some buttons of a call switchboard and its mouth is quite near the slender adjustable microphone attached to the unit. It looks like it's concentrating on a call.

The problem with the world today is that kittens aren't allowed to work as police dispatchers any more. 1972. digitaltmuseum.se/021018614723...

I’m beginning to realise that sleeping through the night is becoming impossible without waking. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I’ll be sleeping for short periods then waking and going back to sleep again in the night as I get older.

Is anyone else finding this from their 40s/50s/60s?

It’s rare that pedigrees or half pedigrees end up in a rescue centre in the UK.

Teddy is an American snowshoe and they’re quite rare like the Nebelung. And nobody’s ever heard of his breed either when I mention it.

Another beauty product I’ve just discovered. Weleda - which is cheap but amazing. Great for your skin, which proves you don’t have to have a big purse for great skin products.

Please tell me that you say things to your cat and then answer AS your cat in a silly voice?

It’s not just me is it?
