How should we say 2010?

The cat's ok! And other news.

She's on a special diet for her kidneys, and some medicine and stuff, but hopefully with a bit of TLC, Minty is going to be A-OK.

*pauses a moment for you to celebrate raucously*

Alright then, you probably don't really care, but I didn't want to leave you on the cliffhanger of my last post.

I feel so much jazzier than I did last week: the cat doesn't have to be put down, I don't feel sick any more, and I'm doing a much less stressful job with an easier commute. Say goodbye to moaning, complaining, sickly Hattie, because she's gooooonnne. (Well, she's not totally gone. Imagine that she's perhaps in the kitchen making dinner or something. She could come back at some point, but the main thing is she's not around right now. And fun Hattie is here, and we all know everyone prefers her.)

Another thing that has brightened my perspective on everything is some news from two of my very dear friends: Claire and Hywel are getting married. Huge congratulations to them: it's hard to imagine a lovelier, funnier, more well-suited couple (or a better-looking couple actually, but let's not be superficial). I'm so happy for them, and I'm anticipating a very fun wedding, and that's only partly because I'm going to be a bridesmaid. Hurrah!

And to finish, just in case you're not feeling cheerful, I recommend this video (I'm not allowed to embed it for some reason) of the comedian Robert Webb doing Flashdance for Comic Relief. Someone showed it to me in the office today and it really tickled me. Such enthusiasm! He's really taken those moves seriously. An impressive performance.

6 readers just couldn't let me have the last word:

Thank you lady! What a lovely, cheery post. I'm so glad about the cat, about your sickness having gone, about the better job...oh, and ABOUT THAT OTHER THING.

Minty was probably just testing you to see how much your really care. They do that.

(a) What a relief about the cat!

(b) What a relief about Hywel popping the question!

(c) What a relief that the sickly mooaaaning Hattie has gone on a minibreak to the Peak District and is unlikely to be back for some time! I didn't really notice that you were sickly and moaaaning, but then love is blind...

(d) I've forgotten what you look like due to your prolonged absence.

(e) Bye.

You've forgotten what I look like? Think a younger, hotter Charlize Theron. J'Adore advert Charlize Theron, not Monster Charlize Theron. Yep, that's me alright.

CLAIRE AND HYWEL ROCK!

I nearly wet my pants when I saw Robert Webb prancing about on the telly. Gold.

1) The kitchen is the LAST place for a sickly moaner.

2) When I first saw Robert Webb was doing the dancing thing I was genuinely worried about his credibility. But my God did he pull it out of the bag.

3) I really cannot wait until this wedding. Can we not have it tomorrow?

4) The verification word for this comment was 'SPINE', which is a little too clinical for my liking.

5) That is all.
