I'm feeling accomplished
My location is in bed
I can hear Doggies playing

This is mainly because I looked in my "things to link to folder" and swore hugely and loudly at how big it was. Words to the effect of I'll be pimholed if I'm going to manually code THAT lot were used. So I asked

matgb to help me set up autoposting from delicious, like wot he does.

The first resulting post should come through in the morning, and I'm afraid it's going to be a biggie. After that they should be more reasonably sized. Do feel free to comment on, share, and whinge at me about the size of the post as much as you like.

:D

I'm feeling busy
I can hear News Quiz

I am loving the new version of spotify. If you are on it and you want to be friends and see my playlists, my profile link is here. If you have similar love for spotify, do join

spotification, which has probably not reached critical mass yet, but is a playlist sharing comm. And if you have no idea what I am talking about, I have two invites available for spotify free for people I know if you want to find out - first come first served. I have a couple of collaborative playlists (girl power being the one that seems to be favourite among most people) and many public ones. I am happy for people to leaf through my musical knicker drawer.

I love being able to nosey through other people's playlists too - Music that Dave Hates made me LOL, and made me think I ought to have a music that Mat hates playlist. And the fact that Tory Tim is subscribed to "learn french by podcast" makes me giggle too.

ANYWAY, the point of this post is that Mat is going to be signing up with the invite I sent him weeks ago this afternoon, and in my bounteous loveliness, I have started building a playlist to get him going. It's collaborative, so other people can add stuff too. If you can think of a particular song that he really really loves, do feel free to go and stick it on there. Pls no Steps ;)

I'm feeling contemplative
My location is in bed
I can hear faint noises of Mat in the kitchen

This weekend has been a bit weird. Aside from the major Up of the Cheeky Girls Birthday Bash last night (which was an absolute riot, and I haven't enjoyed myself at work so much for ages) there have been various struggles and crises and injuries and general downery things which have all conspired to make me want to curl up in a ball and cry. However, I am not giving in. There follows, therefore, a list of lovely things which have made me smile today:

Miss Holly, who does the bestest hugs
Charlie Brooker, who really ought not to read Andrew Hickey's latest post in case his brain implodes.
My daddy, who can do more with a couple of carefully placed words in an email than most people can with a tome
Will Howells' lyrical genius
The Twin Dilemma coming out on DVD tomorrow - props to Daddy Alex for the news - with a Special Feature called Stripped for Action - The Sixth Doctor fnarr fnarr
And, as always, my lovely matgb, who is my rock, and who is making popcorn for us to watch Blake's 7 with. I'd be a lot crazier if it weren't for him ♥ Sometimes I look back to old blog posts before I knew him. Gods, I was miserable. And, no matter what my current financial tribulations... Well, I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and miserable. Neither of us is any good with money, and I don't think either of us ever will be, but we have each other, and we have our friends, and that's worth more than any amount of money. Of course, given the choice, I'd have both... ;)

I'm feeling amused

Most of the time, I refer to

matgb as my wife, and he calls me his husband. There is lots of role reversal in our relationship, when it comes to what most people think of as traditional gender roles. He does much of the cooking and cleaning, I go out to work and spend all my time in the pub. I do the DIY and gardening, and he compiles the shopping list. He does a lot of the day-to-day childcare, and I go out climbing trees with Holly. Mostly, we are both very happy with this. However, there are some ways in which he is very stereotypically male, and I am very stereotypically female.

This video made me laugh a lot.

I'm feeling full
My location is unable to move from prone position, my belly is so full

This is what my lovely wife made for pudding tonight:

Guh. And, indeed, om nom nom. And people wonder why I am putting on weight! For those of you who are in the area, there is just less than half of it left, and if you hurry...

I'm feeling sleepy
I can hear Woman's Hour

Tabman on Lib Dem Voice makes a FINE point about Call Me Dave's views on proportional representation:

Whenever David Cameron mentions the benefit of FPTP, he should immediately be asked to resign in favour of Davidf Davis who “won” the FPTP bit of the election for Conservative leader:

1st Ballot result:
David Davis 62
David Cameron 56
Liam Fox 42
Ken Clarke 38

I have too many things to do and not enough time and my brain is all fuzzy this morning. Poo.

Roxy continues fine; Byron is getting a bit jealous that she's getting lots of attention, so I'm going to go make a fuss of him for a bit. Mat and Holly are both still snoring.
