Missing: one clothes brush

We've lost our clothes brush. In our case it's a roll of sticky tape on an er... stick. It's fantastic to remove cat hair from clothes, seats and assorted body parts. Since summer is nearing and there are three cats living in our house (or two humans living in their house, depending on which one of the parties you ask), we desperately need it back. Desperately. Until we do, neither of us can wear anything black, and neither can any of our guests.

Also missing: our thermometer. Necessary to figure out if you're feeling "miserable and slightly warm" or "miserable and distinctly feverish-thus-giving-you-the-right-to-be-pampered".

Which one of our friends is a kleptomaniac?

Vengeance

Apparently lightning struck in I. (again) causing half of the region to miss out on the arrival of the Tour de France (due to lack of telly).
Is this revenge for all the years I suffered through my father's favourite summer passtime (in beautiful weather no less!) of watching the Tour all through his holidays?

I realised this weekend that we're leaving for London in less than two weeks time, and we've done practically nothing to prepare. We haven't even really arranged for a cat-sitter for the whole six days!
Nor have we prayed to whatever deity for nice weather.
And they say I'm the better organised of the two... (and the nice one apparently)
