Looooooong weekend. I've had Small here since Friday afternoon. We've watched a lot of Charmed. And Gilmore Girls. But mostly Charmed. My brain is now stew. We also played more cricket than I've ever played in my life. And tennis. But mostly cricket. Which is all fine and dandy and good exercise and everything, except that I tripped over a loose concrete slab and went down like a sack of spuds. My knee and chin are now purple, and I ripped a chunk off a toenail, right to the nailbed - nice and raw and bloody. Fun, huh. Accidents and exercise aside, though, she's been really good. Full of neuroses and obsessions, because that's part of her condition, but also incredibly sweet and funny. The cat has been hilarious, as well - she absolutely loves it when we play cricket and tennis, chases after all the loose balls and skips around like a little lamb. I just wish I could wield a video camera at the same time as playing. I'm not sure which was funnier: when Poppy all but somersaulted, flipping herwelf over the ball in an attempt to subdue it, or when she lay down on top of it like a chicken trying to hatch an egg!

My cousin is doing well after his transplant - thank you all for your kind thoughts. The new kidney is functioning well so far. Here's hoping it continues that way - it's still really early days.

Last week I had a job interview in Llandaff. Didn't get the job, but I took a bunch of pictures of the Cathedral while I was there. I just posted a picspam over at scene_again, if anyone's interested:

Cathedral Picspam

I'm fairly sure I had something else to say, but my brain is tapioca. Some other time, perhaps.
