Today I went into a toy shop in Ealing and bought coloured wooden letters spelling out my first name in full (Jenifer) which I am going to affix to my bedroom door using blutack. There are two serious reasons behind this apparently frivolous purchase.
Reason number 1. My mum is always going on at me about how I call myself Jeni not Jenifer and why do I do that? when she went to the bother of choosing not only a very beautiful name for me but also enlisting my sister's help in deciding on the single "n" because they both knew I was going to grow up into one of those awkward types who like to be pretentious.
Reason number 2. Whilst I know which room I sleep in, my cats are clearly confused since they keep trying to sneak into my bedroom and use it as their own boudoir even though they DO know it is out of bounds for cats. I think with a little clarity and signage they will get the message. And if not, it's back to the cheap cat food for them.
OK.
I admit it.
The real reason is I like toyshops.
And my inner child is utterly uncontrollable right now.
Tears before bedtime, Jenifer...
Sod that for a game of soldiers! Ha!
Next thing you'll be calling me Timothy.
It's your Self Purdie cat.
Tim......
