Hello All
Today we have mostly been recovering from our neighbours Diwali celebrations - which went on late into the night.
Mr & I were trying to watch season 4 of Red Dwarf when all of a sudden BOOOOOOOOOOM... FIZZLE.... CRACK.... BOOOOOOOOM!
It frightened my trousers!
And so it went on from 8.30pm last night until about 1am this morning with many fire crackers being thrown into the street as the Asian community celebrated.
Next week it'll be bloody fireworks!
Our poor dog PVC is absolutely terrified of loud noises, we got her two and a half years ago from a rescue centre near Wolverhampton, she was such a tiny timid creature with big black bat ears and had been very badly mistreated, we were told that at some point in her 6 months of life she had been thrown out of a window!
I can't stand cruelty to either children or animals it tears my heart out to know that there are people in this world that do such nasty things.
PVC is now a much more settled dog but she barks at strangers because she is frightened of them and she has some short term memory loss, which means that she forgets regular visitors to the house and so she barks and runs away and then comes back with a tiny twig or piece of grass and then expects you to throw it for her....
She's as mad as the rest of the family!
Also today we decided to henna our hair - Mr SW and Daughter (who has stunning reddish bronze hair) decided to join me in the bi annual henna'ing. It's quite a laugh because when you use blocks of henna like I do, first you smash it up with a hammer, then mix it to a creamy consistency with boiling water, wait for it to cool and then lard it on the head and wait for a long period of time. Unfortunately, when henna'ing one has to wrap ones head in cling film and then tin foil, to keep the heat in and encourage the henna to take a hold.
We started work at 4pm and we rinsed ourselves in sequence at 8pm, my daughter is now a slightly more reddish bronze than before, my mousey red and purple hair is a nice copper colour and Mr SW has gone very very ginger!
Ho hum ..... the things we do in search of entertainment.
Night all - season 5 of Red Dwarf beckons!
