Cows do the craziest things....

...for example, sitting outside my bedroom window mooing like a good'un. That's what it sounds like anyway. It is, in fact, the delightful westerly gales that seem to be battering my house. Add to that the newly arrived water feature under my window and it's almost like having Hurricane Katrina in the PO2 :( My cat is a huge fan of the windowsill fountain and spends most days licking the walls...not a euphemism! Can a cat be poisoned by emulsion or have they genetically adapted and it now forms part of their 5 a day?! (Biscuits, Water, Emulsion, Tuna, Random Lint/Fluff)

As a pedestrian I do find the barrage of rain and gale force winds a trifle annoying. Most storm drains in Portsmouth seem to stop functioning whenever they are faced with a storm and as a result anyone out in the elements takes their life in their own hands when leaving the house. Don't get me wrong, I quite often sport a wetsuit and flippers when out and about but even that is no defence against an Aqua Cars driver hellbent on drowning innocent passers by! Should I just admit defeat and invest in a kayak? And if so, where the hell does one store such an item? Are kayaks allowed to use the bus lane? So many questions.......
