The 'I need a distraction' thread.

My mum read my diary once when I was a teenager. I was stupid, left it around saying "this is very secret, don't read it" too much temptation! I held it against her for a long time.

I love watermelon, and listening to cute animal eating noises. I like human eating crisps noises as long as they keep their mouth shut. I used to rest my ear on my friend's cheek when she was eating crisps at school. Weirdo!

Hi Beth, how are things?

[Cacoethes]

Humans eating annoys me, even when it's the same food that the guinea pigs eat!
Just doesn't have the same effect!
That is a little weird! Lol!

My Mum also read my first ever diary which was quite mild but it mentioned me lifting up a toy chest with a heavy typewriter on it to help her hide her alcohol and it was breaking my back. I was very upset. Then she said she wasn't going to let me help her any more which made me more upset because she had osteoporosis and might have hurt her back the typewriter was so heavy. In the end she continued to let me help her.

My friend told me my brother was reading my diaries later on when I was unwell so I ripped out the pages into little pieces, shoved them in a bottle, filled it with water, and put it in the bin. I wish I still had those diaries to see where it all started.

It's so upsetting when people betray your trust like that.
Especially when you're young!

Because merry is in a bad mood, he keeps chasing poor pippin.
Hopefully they chill out soon!

[one_step_closer]

Are they related? Poor Pippin probably just wants some peace.

[Cacoethes]

I don't think so.
He does! He just sits there, minding his own business, and Merry just comes and hassles him!
They're both in different hides now because the letterbox went! They've been more skittish than usual since we got back.

What's everyone having for dinner?

[tamobhuuta]

Lentil curry :)

They'll take time to settle probably. You have to say nice comforting words to them.

I had soup. Think it was sweet potato and chilli.

[Cacoethes]

Lovely tamo!
I love lentils

They will.
Once they're back in their routine and had a good sleep, they'll be ok.

Ooh nice!

It's a chilled soup from Asda. I prefer the red pepper and some kind of cheese one but they don't sell that any more for some reason.

[Cacoethes]

Always sucks when something you like disappears!

I'm doing paella.

[Pi.R^2]

I love paella!! K makes it so well but it’s a big faff and also involves ordering vegan chorizo online so I only really get it on my birthday!

[Cacoethes]

That does sound like a faff!
Didn't even know vegan chorizo was a thing!
What does it consist of?

I'm going to make sure the prawns are actually cooked this time, so i don't spend all night panicking about death by prawn again

[Ahimsa]

Ooh lentils! I LOVE lentils!

[tamobhuuta]

My dad makes it but he makes it a bit different every time.

Don't get food poisoning Cacoethes!

[Cacoethes]

I didn't last time, but today i made absolutely sure they were boiling hot!

[tamobhuuta]

Well done :)

I'm treating myself to a banoffee waffle for being a brave little soldier today by talking to someone on Duty.

[Cacoethes]

Thanks tamo!

That sounds delicious lindsay!
And absolutely deserved!
