I suppose I did have the time-fucky a few sessions ago...

Know-it-all? Hardly.

I woke up in quite a good mood this morning, despite Depressing Movie Marathon yesterday (Moulin Rouge, Romeo & Juliet and then Amadeus from a time when Simon Callow was thin...).

The cat likes valerian. Bit of paper I got from Watkins yesterday calls the stuff "a favourite of feline familiars". Which would certainly explain why Yuki keeps trying to get onto the top of my bookshelf to get at my essential oils. However, according to my Herbal Remedies Handbook, valerian is also a reasonably powerful muscle relaxant and sedative. Which definitely explains why I keep having to get up every five minutes and remove her bodily from the aforementioned shelf. It wouldn't be so bad if she didn't keep trying to ingest the stuff -- it's concentrated and I like my Yuki alive, thank you. I didn't react nearly so badly when she started trying to drink my almond base oil -- I reckon that stuff, like the earth itself, is mostly harmless.

Must pack Mrs Robinson's Bag again. The new dice for weaselbitch must go in, along with ... well, I say the bare minimum of sourcebooks, but you know me. Then again, it really is going to have to be the bare minimum -- the last few days, I've been tromping around Central London with far too much stuff and my left shoulder is complaining bitterly. That'll teach me to wear my rucksack on both shoulders like normal people do. (Actually, no it won't, but even I recognise that it should.)
