You ain't gonna need your teeth...

Urrrrrrgggghhhhh! It was another night of twisting and turning (like a twisty turny thing) and at 4am I went to the bathroom and drank some water staring at my sunken eyes staring back at me from the mirror. I looked like a white ghostly creature from a horror film and I went back to bed going into a fitful doze full of horrible dreams involving falling from great heights and lots of blood and gore amidst snapping limbs.

For a change, I was relieved to be woken by a crap text joke at 6:20ish. I awoke in a panic stricken sweaty heap with my heart thumping and sent a 'Thank you' text.

I got up shortly afterwards for Sugar Puffs, yesterday's blip and a catch up on X Factor. I was actually quite industrious today and did a load more tidying and sorting. I'm not clever enough to sit and pretend to enjoy the Andrew Marr Show so I thought I might as get birdie pictures and do some violent floor scrubbing to chase away the nightmares.

Update - This was a blip of two halves and I wrote most of it before I went to the Dog and Doublet for my broccoli bake with jacket spud washed down with Abbot Ale. I got home a couple of hours later and could see my touch lamp on visible in the corner of my bedroom window. You know the lights - you can tap the stand, shade or the surface it's on so you don't need to fumble around in the dark for a switch. The thing is, they get really hot if you leave them on and can't touch at all after 5 minutes. I was really shocked I'd left mine on and ran upstairs as soon as I was through the door. The light was glowing away but I walked up to it and the shade, bulb and stand were ice cold as if the lamp had been switched on a mere moment before.

I hope everything is OK but after my early dream and a couple of things I said to Cara earlier via email I am a bit worried.

Enough rambling from me..... Let's forget about that. I just had to say it. You know I use this as my diary.

My two pals are best viewed large.
