Green olive bread and lemon and coriander humous.
The middle-class lunch of dreams.

good houmous choice
although i think my favourite of all the houmouses is the pesto topped one. mmm. pesto.

this being said, i do dip monster munch in it, which is neither middle class nor mature.

I don't like olive bread
It's just too olivey.
I like houmous with paprika, but too much coriander bugs me as well.

I don't care for olives either
But I will eat olive bread.

On a pizza though? Olives can fuck right off.

I can now eat green ones
and kind of enjoy them. I have to be in the mood. I've always bought them for Tigger, and occasionally nibbled, so that theory of trying something a few times might work.
Black olives still scare me.

Olives for a cat?
Maybe that's your problem. That stuff in a box that says Whiskas isn't olives, you know.

He loves them
Chases them all over the floor and treats them like prey, then eventually has a little nom on them.

I could try that.
But I'd eat all the olives and that cats would look at me disdainfully.

Please try it
It is so amusing. Unless your cats are normal.

Define "normal" in a cat
One of mine - not sure which - has taken to carrying their toys out through the cat flap and leaving them in the garden.

Don't think the big guy will be with us this time next year.
He's OK, but he's really slowing down and he struggles with the stairs so he spends his life downstairs now.

If I could get a kitty stairlift I would.

I would give my Tigger a kidney if he needed one
And if cats could use human kidneys.

It's a good job mine are insured
I've more that got my money's-worth this year.

Big Ellie is 12, but he got run over when he was a kitten and his pelvis is held together with metal pins.

The vet has told me that they'll deteriorate and I think that's happening. I could be wrong - he hates cold weather - but I'll watch him.

I love him dearly but I'll not see him suffer.

Bedtime.

Well just like them then!
I have a sense of deja vu here (or possibly it's just a flashback) because I had a row about the virtue of olives with someone a few nights ago.

I think that post says...
'No, it's past the Arches, further up Gloucester Road' more than anything else.

We've got a new "quality wine and ground coffee" shop
and a new "family health initiative" this month. Oh, and one of those "I saw you coming" shops where a couple of yummy mummies buy vintage china from charity shops and then resell it at 650% mark-up.
Gotta love the independent high street, eh?

At least you've not had a run on Tesco's finest pizzas
It was murder trying to find one last night...

Oh where is that fucking pizza!

It might be a serial killer and require
'more toppings'

Is your place all dust-free and back to normal now?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:20, Reply)

Just the usual regular dust now.
I'm waiting patiently for the next disaster.

I'm going to bed. Best wishes to you, the Captain and the little 'un for the new year.
