My family are mental. Everyone's family is mental in their own way sure but sometimes I can't even keep up with this lot of loonies. My youngest sister's boyfriend stayed to dinner tonight so naturally my mum starts the conversation, "Lucy would you like a bidet in the bathroom?" I didn't feel that I wanted to answer whether or not I wanted a butt washer in front of my sister's boyfriend, so moving on. She then went to tell the story of how my dad had embarrassed her when they were bathroom shopping today (that puts the bidet in context at least) as he wants one of those toilets that is basically a floating basin but he had to shout across the shop to the assistant asking how reinforced they were because otherwise you wouldn't be able to let your fat friends use it. Dinner wound up with my mum telling Josh (the sister's bf) details of every cat we've ever had and how they died. Coupled with my dad's aspergers and the fact that the women in our family talk a mile a minute and all sound exactly like each other, I don't think he'll be keen to join us again.
In other news, you might know I love the programme 'Lion Man' but I have found a similar gem called 'Zoo Days', it is on ALL DAY on Fiver, 20 episodes. Perfect hangover telly, even if it was a bit marred by my cat's wicked flatulence. In particular I have enjoyed the story of Tejas, an Asiatic lion cub who was born with deformed legs but they have sorted him out and I believe he is all grown up and living in France now, c'est boheme!
Here is Tejas as a newborn in 2007 (he's on the left)
Now, of course I want to work with animals/for an animal charity. Bear in mind my career choices are all based on tv, so from 9:15 until about 10:30 I want to be an 'Heir Hunter', around 2 o'clock I want to be an interior designer because of 'House Gift' and I ALWAYS want to be a Loose Woman
