Morbidly Jolly

Last night I dreamt that I had a pet baby gorilla with florescent green eyes, but unfortunately my adorable pet suffered from obesity. He was 'Morbidly Jolly' - my new way of describing really fat people or gorillas (not to their faces obviously gorillas are very sensitive about such things.) My other new phrase of the moment is 'That's insanity gone mad!'

Back to the gorilla who was male but nameless, it's hard to describe the mixed emotions I felt. I loved this gorilla with it's florescent eyes unconditionally, but we both needed to admit he had a problem, he was still totally adorable in my eyes but he needed help, and he was just beginning to realise that for himself. He'd actually agree to let me weigh him so that was a positive first step on his long road to recovery. That's really all I can remember of the dream.

In real life news I have been working on a outdoor school mural. It's been pretty hard work in the wind and rain and cold temperatures. Today I met the head teacher for the first time who said 'it looks great, but you couldn't have picked worse weather' to which I wanted to reply 'this is normal weather for the time of year....YOU couldn't have picked a worse month to commission an outdoor mural!'

It's all good though, the dinner ladies are mothering me with cups of tea, and there's only one day left till it will be finished.

I've posted a few photos of the progress of the mural on twitter etc but here's a photo of the messy mingy mangle of masking tape leaves and paint.

P.s I just texted my husband and mentioned that I was writing my blog and he said 'say hi to the internet from me' so 'hi'
