I can't use other pillows, and have had the same pillow for the last 35+ years. :eek:

Mine were nowhere near that length, but were flat as pancakes.

Mine's an old goose feather one and is still as hard as nails, and can be moulded into any shape. I love it

I'd say if I opened it, it's just pure mush at this stage, but I have a new cover permanently sewed onto it.

My brother stole my favourite pillow years ago without asking and brought it with him abroad. I'd say wars have started for lesser things.

But, back on topic - my TH is having a "conversation" with the robin on the nearest branch.

Tell me how

I hope he sent pictures of the pillow enjoying various sites and sent you a message from the pillow saying it had run away. That's really sibling behaviour.

'My' robin was feeling particularly chatty this morning too

Someone I know lost their kitten when he got out of the house. I spotted a post on Facebook and let him know and now he's reunited with his little kitten!! I am so so happy he's found him. The best news I've had all day!

If you really want to cheer yourself on a grey dank day like this, then when next taking a load of towels out of the tumble dryer, bunch them together in your arms and hug to your face. The absolute feeling of nirvana and warmth is really good and gives you an instant hit of happiness.

Or stick your chin in your hot cup of tea (preferably when it's not too full!)

Last night I accidentally on purpose left my doors open so my dogs could sneak into my room. Sure enough about 4am I hear creeping. I hear the big dog smelling around and feel him stick his nose onto my bed to see if I was there. Then I hear this awful crash and the smaller dog had got so excited he'd leaped up on the bedside locker and jumped onto my head. He licked my face like a dog possessed and I turned on my side to get away from him licking me and he wrapped himself like a scarf around my neck, his body to my back and his head on my shoulder next to my face

Just, dogs in general. We don't deserve them.

Every morning when I'm leaving the house I put my dog in her sitting room bed with a treat. By the time I get to the car she's always at the hall window looking out at me. If I ever forget something and have to go back into the house for it she absolutely pegs it back into bed when she sees me coming, as if I'll think she hasn't moved an inch even though I have literally just waved at her through the window.

Lol I do that too. It makes me instantly relaxed; it must remind us of being back in the womb or something.

It's like sinking into a hot bath, the water up to your ears. Bliss!

The kitchen sink was blocked and I fixed it all by myself.

Good woman, KKkitty, that's real girl power! I had to unblock the loo yesterday, not my idea of a perfect Sunday, but it works.

Well I did contribute to it being blocked so I was just cleaning up my mess It's great when you do stuff like that yourself though.

Was sitting at the kitchen table writing and the three-year-old was at her little table playing with her toys, talking to herself in English with loads of Irish words. I'm just ignoring it and then all three years of her, just as naturally, starts singing the fantastic An Cailín Álainn entirely in Irish with great defiance and voice for one so young, 'Ó abair liomsa, gur tú mo ghrá gheal, Beidh orm áthas, in áit an bhróin...' She got to the next verse and it died down a bit so I dived in to rescue this magic and we had a great seisiún. I'm using every moment now to teach her all the other verses and she's really into it, repeating each line to herself as I sing it (in fairness, you've a captive audience when you're driving the car!). Music and song are life savers!
