Marriage has made her all cuddly, fluffy and unscary.
I saw a van today and the name on it was 'Ruff to Fluff'. I assume it was a dog grooming service.
Made me smile :)
Not that I'm saying PP is, or was, in anyway rough. I certainly don't think that for one minute.
Just seeing fluffy in your post reminded me of it.
Wow, women are SO bitchy. :)

I have a Russian type hat that I bought in Bruges. It's a bit big though and falls down over my eyes sometimes, but otherwise it's a very nice hat.

Massive issue if you wear your hair twisted up into a bun or a french pleat like I do. Hats don't go over the top or if they do the hair creates an unsightly bulge :)

I've learnt that I've really gone off the Corsa hirecar I've had for the last few weeks. I thought it was nice initially, but
1. it really can't handle hills
2. it's a bit of a lifeless, forgettable experience driving it
3. the indicators are a nightmare, rarely self-cancelling and when you do it manually you always end up either turning the other indicator on, switching the foglights on by accident or both.
My Panda was/is so much nicer to drive and I can't wait to have it back.

I have learnt that a sheep can be born with a head resembelling that of a human being. I understand this to simply be a mutation of sorts and is not a half human half sheep monster.
I also have upmost respect for the fact that the creature is a sheep, has a sheep mum and a sheep dad (hopefully) and it is most definately NOT a goat. NO GOATS HERE.
