everything falling into place

supertinksHaving a rather successful morning so far.
Am still buoyed up by Wales's excellent performance in the game against Australia yesterday, just such a shame that they weren't able to play the last line out.
Although, our line outs were reasonably terrible throughout, so I'm not sure it would have made much difference. Was a big anti-climax though, especially since Hook's kick was so awesomely good.
Jamie's gone to Wales today, to fetch his car from his parents (where it was taken yesterday by the RAC so his dad could fix it), which means I was up at stupid o'clock, taking him to the station. I took advatage of this to go to Tesco's early, and managed to do my weekly shop and pay for it and have it all in the car 15 mins after the shop opened! Which was awesome, considering Jamie's usually so lazy we don't even get to Tesco before 12.
Was really nice wandering round a practically empty supermarket.
As I was leaving, I got a call from my friend Carol (you know, the one who's having the engagement party in Wales later on this month) with excellent news regarding travel/accommodation. Basically, if I get the train to Cardiff, she'll come pick me up as she has to go into Cardiff anyway that day, and her mum will give me a lift back to Pembrokeshire, so I can stay the night with my folks!
I've just booked my train tickets, and its only going to cost me twenty quid as well, which is awesome. So I am in a good mood.
I have also been having much fun playing with Fidget and a laser pointer that I found upstairs. Now, I was already aware of the entertainment potential of laser pointers and cats, having seen Darren playing with Caro's cats, but I had no idea Fidget would be so entertaining.
If you turn it off, he spends at least ten minutes hunting around trying to find it, and then gets really confused when it reappears elsewhere in the room. Also, when it touches him, rather than trying to catch it, he just starts vigorously washing whatever bit of him it touched. I've seen him trying to eat bits of stuff off the floor cos he thinks thats what made the red dot, and the other day I had him chasing the dot in the front room, but then went to the loo. 2 minutes later, he's in the bathroom, meowling his head off cos he can't find the dot, forcing his way in to find me and then spending a further ten minutes trying to find the dot in the bathroom. I think he's cottoned on to the fact that the light only appears when I'm nearby, but other than that.. Its very funny.
He's definately getting more vocal now he's properly settled in, he'll cry if we're upstairs and he's downstairs on his own, and he says hello to us when we come home from work as well. And he gets very loud when its dinner time.
He's not a big fan of the fireworks though, and since we live in such a culturally diverse area of Reading (see how politically correct I was there), they've been going off for a lot longer than usual. Which is rubbish. But lots of cuddles and grooming and fuss seem to calm him down enough.
