Oh la la! Been ages I haven't posted anything here! So many things have changed, so much water under the bridge - bla bla - and yet, not much either. Still single, catless, although I now have a kitty (which won't even allow me to pet her) to feed 3 times a day. Marmite, I named her, because her coat is of a brownish-black. She's got the cutest, roundest little green eyes for her defense - my baby - and a very good appetite... for life, of course!
She's not fussy, mind you, fairly cheap cat food brands satisfy her although I also treat her to cat milk once or twice a week, poor little mite, she lives roughly, she deserves it! I do hope she's been neutered - if it's indeed a she because she'd never let me check! - otherwise, sooner or later a litter of adorable, heart-breaking stray kittens will turn up and it'll feel like a tragedy if I can't take them all in and keep them from the cold and danger outside!
First time I started writing in English, living here constantly is beginning to take its toll! Since last July, I've also worked as a chef in a "japanese" restaurant chain called Yo! Sushi which I thoroughly hated and where I've been treated like poo, and discover my favourite author ever: Deric Longden.
I'll soon have reached this terrible point where I'll have read all his books (I should probably start piling up on antidepressants and booze actually) and I have to say that I loved them all. Especially his best known one "The Cat Who Came In From The Cold" but "A Play On Words" as well, which has an amazing cover if you get the hardback edition. It's not so much that his books are more or less a series relating the story of his life amongst exigent cats and a blind wife, just the way he puts it and writes it down is absolutely hilarious. I wish I could tell him myself but he's probably this bit too famous now and I wouldn't know what to say anyway. English is not my 1st language so I guess that when it gets important, I still struggle and find it very difficult to express myself in a way I'm fairly satisfied with...
Not much outside the well-worn subject of shitty temporary jobs and kitties. I'm still "grieving" my break-up with David (!!) and it's left me in such a state, I can't even have a boyfriend, at least not for longer than a night. My mother is getting more and more desperate about that but I'd rather not worry too much - got enough on my plate to sort out already! - and I read in a supplement of the Guardian that getting over a very important relationship can take up to two years anyway, so she's better start to be patient!
I've also had two housemates since last summer. Laura - the 1st one - and now Monique, a children's nurse at the QMC in Nottingham whom seems to be very sweet and is certainly very well-mannered and tidy. She's very much contributing to the gathering of cutesie junk that was already piling up in the house, although being less obsessed than me who's aboviously pretty much one-track-minded, her stuff isn't totally cat-themed, which makes a nice change. She's also very beautiful, with her brazilian origins. Lucky her, the winter is turning my poor skin into some iguana's and I feel at my ugliest at the moment but, once again, s'pose there are much more important things to meditate about in life, such as "What the hell am I gonna have to do to find a decent job this time??"
