the puzzle piece behind the couch

while i was there i watched Much Ado About Nothing and Henry V. bit of a Shakespeare & Brannagh overload but i'm tough. and Elly is determined to make me knowledgable about history and Shakespeare. (plus we did get to see lots of naked ladybutt in MAAN - Kate Beckinsale and Emma Thompson butt!)

we did some packing and stuff. that was good. i had two quite cool dreams:

sunday night:
i was at a shop buying sweets and the woman who served me was really beautiful. she had shoulder length sandy blonde hair and looked a teeny bit like jadeddreama. she gave me discount and smiled. later i found out she made pottery and things and we were talking and she stroked my back. and it was superb - it was like proper flirting - slow and unexpected and every part of it is exciting. not like modern naughty flirting. it was sort of like a prelude to wooing. oooh it was lovely. but then i woke up.

monday night:
i was making some breakfast with mirabehn when the toaster plug started to smoke. so we switched it off at the plug and were making toast under the grill, when suddenly the gas oven turned itself on and started flaming a lot. so Elly turned off the gas and electricity (it seemed to be her house). but then things started catching fire! we ran upstairs (why?) and were flapping about and i was looking for a phone to call 999. but then Elly jumped out of the window! i was highly distressed as the stairs weren't burnt yet and we could still go down them. so i ran down the stairs into the back garden and found Elly lying on the grass. her arm was broken but she seemed ok. i was very happy about this (obviously). then i tried calling 999 on my mobile but i kept pressing the wrong buttons, which irritated me. when i did press 999 i got through to someone trying to sell me a house! eventually after more weirdness i got through to the emergency services. Elly lived at no. 126 something street. then the woman asked if i really needed a fire engine. and by this time i really did as the house was ablaze. and so we went and sat on a wall at the front of the house and the fire and ambulance and police came. Elly got mended and then the house seemed to be ok very quickly. the police walked around it with me and were asking questions about the french stick we had out and then they tried to give me homework to do about causes of fire! i was most miffed. but then i woke up.

so anyway, i hope Elly & Nick get all the packing done. they are lovely lovely lovely and i love them really rather a lot.
