Another creepy phonecall last night. This time to Rob's phone, which is like mine but +1. He answered, so there was silence and then the call ended.

So I slept really well. Right.

This morning Emer slept until TEN, which was irritating, because I'd have preferred her to get those extra two hours last night but she was too excited and interested in cutting things out; she can cut around the outlines of things really quite alarmingly nicely for a three-year-old.

Linnea loves that I got her some Sainsburys own-brand malted wheat cereal. I had some myself and it was quite nice. It's amazingly high in salt though.

Coming up to noon we were visited by the lady across the road and her baby, which was nice; they brought chutney. We had coffee and ginger biscuits and after they left the children and I had lunch - ham, chutney, tortilla wraps, and bread. Apparently vegetables are not welcome today.

I'm freezing cold and loving my legwarmers. I am not loving my housework, which is going much more slowly than I'd like. Also, we hoped to collect a wardrobe today and didn't manage it because Rob couldn't take his usual lunchbreak because of all the sick people.

Telemarketers don't say "Pussy? Pussy?" nor do they say "I am coming to see you."

My gods that is fucking terrifying. :(

It goes away when Rob answers and it's never been to the landline so I'm not too frightened. Not *happy* about it but not really scared.

Yes, I suppose that makes it less awful but still, urgh.

But feminism isn't necessary any more and we totes don't live in a rape culture or anything!

Rob was surprised to hear that there are men who randomly dial numbers and wait for a female voice to pick up, even. "That's not very nice," he said.

He understands a bit better now.

James used to be surprised about stuff like that; the most obvious one being how differently doctors treat women and men, specifically fat women and thin men. He used to have such faith in doctors until he started coming with me to my appointments.

Off-topic: do you talk on IM at all? If so, would you be ok to talk to me? I'll totally understand if not, but I thought I'd ask.

Yes. ailbhe or ailbheleamy, usually, depending on which services you want to use.

I generally use Yahoo at the moment, but James will be switching my laptop to Linux at some point soon and then I don't know what I'll be using.

ailbhel there - I lost the details for the ailbhe account yonks ago.

Ok, thanks, I shall add you now :)
