Pouring with rain today and really very cold. Everyone's a bit glum to be honest. The house is made of stone and very hard to keep warm - it's fab in the summer when you want to keep cool but having woken up chilled to the marrow the only time I was warm was when we went to visit Marie Noelle! BRRRRRRRRRRR.
Because it was so cold in the night (didn't sleep well at all due to that and horrid nightmares about moth monsters and such) we are going to try sleeping in Mum's old studio upstairs. We had to mount a massive cleaning operation up there - so many dead flies and mice poos! I did get to try out the Henry Hoover my parents own and he is quite frankly the BEST hoover EVER! He's an industrial cleaner and it was almost fun to do the hoovering! Oh dear :) Must get me one, would be brilliant in the flat in Brighton.
Had a late lunch of soup and cheese sarnies and now we will be moving out stuff around and getting up in the loft to do an inventory of what's up there so we know for next time!
Actually, scrap that, we haven't been up there yet but we did sort out the living area downstairs and the bedroom/studio upstairs. The rain is still spitting and it's still cold, so fingers crossed we don't freeze tonight! I really hope the weather is nicer tomorrow - it's my birthday! We'll be busy doing things in town but will still be lovely if the sun is out!
Been missing Phil a lot today. Had quite a few texts from him (maybe making me miss him more?) but the lack of real contact is horrid really. Will be so lovely to see him again and even better to have him living in Brighton :D
Oh! Meant to say earlier, another one of those butterflies woke up today! So odd! Must've been hibernating. It might be the heater we've got on that';s making them think it is warm enough to wake (is April too early for that?) and they might find the weather horrid, but I suppose it's better than waking up trapped? Although, how the Devil did they get in, in the first place?
When I was sorting out that basket of stuff Dad and I brought down from the loft (found my lovely My Little Pony mug from 1985! WIN!) I managed to disturb a hibernating wasp. I put him outside, but as I was washing my hands later another one must have crawled out of a duster in the basket, and he landed on my wrist! I screamed like a GIRL.
I miss my KITTEHS! And my bed, TV and Brighton in general...
We discovered that the badgers which set up camp under the workshop have been back for more digging and there's now some kind of tunnel 10ft long under the edge of the wall, meaning the foundations are in trouble...not so good. Personally, I think it's pretty awesome that there's BADGERS in the garden...and oh my GODS, Dad has just come into the house carrying something he had found by said badger run - A BABY DEER SKULL!! That is SO COOL and pretty scary too - mental badgers! Mum's going to draw it and I want t6o take it home with me, it's well a bit Goffick ;)
