This will not speak to anyone who is not British.
And even not some who are. Or those who were not born in the right era. But goodness me it filled my heart with gladness. Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were child actors in a Newcastle television series Byker Grove. I didn't like. Watched sometimes because we only had three channels in those days. Okay, maybe four. They had a one-off hit, Let's Get Ready to Rhumble. I still didn't like. Then they started fronting a Saturday morning TV show, called SM:TV (Saturday Morning TV, dontcha know) and the follow-on show CD:UK which had live bands. And with Cat Deeley. OMG I was hooked. They're not all that much younger than me. And they were real. They didn't talk down to the "kids". I laughed and laughed and laughed. We used to come into work and talk about it. If you didn't watch SM:TV you were out of the loop. I still have a "Best Of" video which I intend to convert to DVD. My only sadness is no-one I know will ever, EVER get that I'm quoting from it. It's hardly Monty Python. But "I've come to work in my pyjamas again!" is funny to me. After a few failed attempts, well, they're human, they created a perfect Saturday evening show (oh, they also appear on Britain's Got Talent.) Saturday Night Takeaway. Here they are reprising their PJ and Duncan hit - the character names from Byker Grove.

Loki was running around outside the fence when I got home.

Outside the fence is a good thing? As opposed to just gone?

Tie him down and drop snake venom in his eyes. It's the only way he'll learn.

Looking out the kitchen window at the woods, which are dusted with snow, and the birds having breakfast at the feeders. So beautiful. Yesterday a young raccoon was nibbling at the seed hulls on the ground under the feeders. He (or she) has been around for several months, always alone, and doesn't look to have grown much. I thought raccoons lived in groups but this one is solitary and doesn't have much sense (forages in the daytime, shows no fear of humans).
Looking it up, I gather they are solitary animals. This one was almost certainly last spring's baby. Just had a hard winter, I guess - but he/she's still here, so must have some sense.

I know, I know! But this one is cute and rather pathetic. It's so oblivious, it'll sit down against the back door right up against the full length glass, and not notice the cat who's sitting looking out the same door! The cat goes crazy while the baby raccoon sits there and grooms itself in the sunshine on the deck. I can't believe some predator hasn't gotten it yet.

You has sunshine?
I'll come groom myself on your deck in that case.

We has sunshine! But also snow. As long as you don't mind the snowdrifts!

This raccoon business reminds me of a horrible story from my childhood which doesn't belong in the happy thread.
Anywho, spring vacation w00t!

My Ganddaughter was born this morning, and I got a cuddle when she was 3 hours old! After Months of fighting with my son, he got hurt a week before the baby was born. Could have died, got REALLY lucky. Made him think about the family he has. She was going to be induced April 3, but my son always said she would be born on a full moon. Our little Wiccan princess was in fact born during a full moon!
I was invited up to see him in the hospital last week, and then was TOLD to come up and meet my granddaughter today She is perfect. 6lbs even. Her name is Jadeyn Elizabeth. Her name is in honour of the daughter I lost at the 18 week mark, 18 years ago (Jaydan) I have pictures, but can never remember how to make them work on here ... lol |

Jaydaan, that is a wonderful sea change to what sounded like a pretty rotten winter. I'm so glad!
