That was five years ago now, can you believe it!? Maybe Philippe can make a zonkey cake? 😛 That would be so cool!

Chaaarrlllieee! Great to see you pop up with a bunny looking very snazzy in that sunny yellow raincoat. It has been hailing and indeed snowing here today, so perhaps boots are needed, too…

Sounds like you’re on a roll juggling any number of things, as per usual. Hope you have a great birthday – not long now! <3

A happy (karma karma karma karma karma) chameleon. That’ll be in your head for days now, if it wasn’t already. You’re welcome! 😉 It’s still strange not having you show up every day and it feels like years since we last spoke, but thank goodness pizza night remains a constant! All the best. <3

End of an era after 2,000 days (wow!) But the start of a new one! <3

Merry Christmas to the Doodlewash Crew!

Who knew ribbon candy doubled up as an activity centre for mice? Must be a bumpy ride down 😛

Yes, we had a good laugh about it!

It’s like the old woman who lived in a shoe, only mousier – and more festive!

Do verify those gifts. I remember getting a friend some perfume for her birthday once, and only realising on the day that the box said “For Him” in massive letters. I informed her there had been a bit of a mix up with the present and she pretty much guessed what I had done.

Those eyes though! <3 I think they're saying that yes, it's his teddy bear and yes, if you want a cuddle, then get your own! 😉

Haha yeah, I can imagine the disapproving looks!

I wonder if these recurring mice are a subconscious hint that you really want a pet mouse for Christmas. What would Philippe say to that? Furthermore, what would Phineas say to that? I feel like he’d need more convincing. 😛 While I quite like the smell, I don’t drink coffee. We’ve probably had arguments about this before!

These mice certainly are getting around! Adorable! I too think a cityscape is best enjoyed as a backdrop. Whenever I venture into London or somewhere like that, I feel totally out of place. Country boy I guess.

I don’t normally go to bed earlier at this time of year, but I do seem to wake up later, especially if it’s cold and gloomy outside.…[Read more]

That’s cute, though I’m not sure how I’d react if a mouse were crawling through the decorations! Normally I would say it’s way too early but I think people areentitled to some extra festive cheer this year.

The best kind of firework display – pretty, and quiet as the mouse spectator! Not to be a sourpuss, but I’m done with fireworks by 5th November as there have been weeks of them by this point. Organised displays are fine, but random people setting them off in the neighbourhood with an obnoxiously loud boom – and me jumping out of my skin! – wears…[Read more]

Well that’s just monstrously cool! I want to adopt one!

Aww, well there’s a curious cat indeed! Cute, too! We never had our own desks like that. I think I would have liked one. We were sat around tables or in rows, and our drawers were all together in a separate unit. I was a bit of a teacher’s pet back then, though not so much for putting my hand up to answer (there was an art to avoiding eye contact…[Read more]

Magic unicorn and er, magic mushrooms! 😉 Belated birthday wishes to Philippe! Hopefully no baseball caps spoilt your special day.

Well I do love cocoa, but maybe not if mice have been frolicking in it! I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to stay mad at them for long if they were carrying little brollies.

Cauliflower pizza crust is a new one. It has to be nicer than it I am imagining 😛 The goat’s cheese sounds good, though!

It was probably my brother’s fault. He would always put thrillers or horrors on to try and scare me!

I remember only one nightmare; a staircase I was going down collapsed and I fell into some evil mastermind’s lair. He had several hostages tied up and was playing some game to decide who to torture next. I was only little at the time too! I woke up shaking.

Noting details down did seem to help with remembering them in future; I guess I trained…[Read more]
