I have to be honest...

... this week has been a strain.

It's not just the constant darkness, terrible weather, getting caught in the rain every day, wind damage to the house, sodden garden, forgetting to put the bins out, lack of anything in the bank, bland food, too much work, difficult clients, terrible pay etc... it's everything else too.

Little Mouse has a special trick that she pulls out of the bag in the winter - her bladder seems to shrink to nothing - she pisses in the house every day - if she goes for more than an hour in the house she has a wee - it drives me mad. She doesn't like going out in the garden when it's cold and wet - so her bladder just goes. The vet has never been able to find anything wrong with her - they just say 'don't give her any water'.... which makes no real sense.

One of my students told me that she had no money this month because her and her boyfriend spent £1600 on a stripper and some alcohol - apparently she had forgotten about it until her bank statement arrived.... I laughed.. but inside I was crying. It's OK... she asked her dad for help. He could afford it.

One bright spot was the Edwardian Farm... I've watched it twice already this week and have been pining for a simpler age.

That fat, stupid, moronic hag Jan Moir pissed me off again this week. She went to see Frankie Boyle and wrote a scathing review - I very sure he's delighted, if all his shows were not already sold out he would have been able to tout even more tickets.

I like Frankie Boyle. I don't actually think he's that funny, and he is crude and offensive - but that's the point. He wrote a very good autobiography which makes the point that he doesn't hate anyone except himself. I loathe superficial politeness and am happy to call anyone a cunt ( they do it to me ) - so what the fuck a frigid, sterile old cunt like Jan Moir was expecting really defies explanation.

As an aside - in her article she discussed a typical, feckless twat who has 13 kids by 8 women or something and has never worked. She calls for someone to castrate him with a housebrick. That's odd... a conservative councillor was actually arrested last week for sarcastically suggesting that the journalist Yasmin Allabaya Brown be stoned. That is ARRESTED... you know, shoved in the slammer - for a quip on Twitter... how fucking stupid is that??? How much does that cost???? Why don't they arrest Jan Moir???

Don't get me started on student feed, work, money, what I have to do at the weekend or the inland revenue. If I'm still here this time next week it probably won't be any better.
