As part of my ongoing campaign to make everybody understand that in fact I do actually live in the Lit & Phil, today I am taking in a packed lunch.
Weirdly, I've never done this before. Sometimes I've wanted to stay through lunchtime and so bought food in town, but I've never been this pre-organised. I have bread, though, I have ham; those siren lures would draw me home, so I might as well take 'em with.
I was preparing my sandwich, then, with the boys fussing around my feet; and I did it, I fell, I yielded. I gave them a sliver each.
HAMZ!!
Aaargh. Great mistakes we have made, vol 17. ch 3.
More frantic kitties this world has never seen. They are now plotting in front of the refrigerator, trying to work out how they opened the door last time. I am going to be pre-emptive (or possibly post-emptive, if they work it out while I'm gone) and buy a child-lock while I'm in town.
Meantime, I have not-actually-Tupperware boxes containing ham&mustard sandwich and dill pickles. I have a flask of coffee and a dark chocolate Kitkat. I might pick up a bottle of wine later, and then it'll really be just like home...
