I've been accused of 'reading too much', and whilst I staunchly argue that it's better than the alternatives - sounds a bit like the idea that women shouldn't be educated because it only makes them hysterical - I do wonder slightly after last night's nightmare:

I was eating my cat alive.

I will spare you the very vivid (if unrealistically blood-free) details: at one point, it wasn't so bad, because I was eating a black-and-white candyfloss. But then it got bad :-(


I woke up at 05:55, feeling too nauseated by the recollection to sleep again. Cuddling my Flooger helped to calm me down ... mostly.

The stress is gradually building up for my second teaching practice (D-Day Mon 11 Oct), now you come to ask! But I've also been mulling over how to handle the steak dinner planned for D's birthday on Friday... I think I've made progress, as I had a long chat with D's step-mum this morning, and she seems totally OK and unoffended with the health motivation for avoiding (red) meat. D's Dad is the one who will semi-gently rag me about reading too much ['and picking up silly ideas']: I've seen him rag D's uncles (his brothers-in-law), who are both vegetarian. He's of an age where he's not very receptive to changing his opinions. But I've already decided that if he asks me why I'm shunning steak, I shall say "Just to annoy you, and give D's uncles a laugh" which will be on the right level :-)

Sounds like a good plan! When my uncle asked me why I was bothering to make sosmix into sausage and burger shapes if I didn't want meat, I said, with a big grin, "I know it'll shock you, but meat doesn't actually come in those shapes, don't you? It has to be made into them by people in factories." Everyone laughed except for him. Then he decided it was funny, and everything was OK. But it was touch and go for a minute. I think, "Because it bugs you" would have been a better way to go!
