Today's been weird.
It's been one of those rare days where I make an effort to spend time with my mam - and rarer still, it works.

I sat and watched telly with her for a while - then went upstairs to sort out my FarmVille crops.
Mam asked me if I wanted to go to Lucy's while she dropped off Lila's birthday present. She said I could see her new kitten.

So I said I would, but asked her to hang about while I sorted out my strawberries.
Mam took an odd interest in what I was doing - asking me what you did and how it worked.

I liked Lucy's kitten Smudge at first - but he's one of those little bastards who lulls you into a false sense of security by acting all affectionate, then turning round and attacking you.
All I can say is that it's a good thing I was wearing long sleeves.

Even so, his claws went through my jumper fabric and got me a few times. I have a little bite mark on the side of my hand.
He looked a bit like a mini version of Adam's old cat Alfie - and a bit like the cats roaming about the hotel in Zante.

When we got back, I suggested to mam that we try out my tarot cards.
I've had them for about a year and we've never really tried using them.

So, after we arranged the decks into the corresponding suits - shuffled them up and read the instructions, we did the simple version where you ask a question and the cards reveal the events of the past, present and future.

I asked: "Will Shelly and I stay together?"

The cards said that in our past, we had a lot of arguments, difficulties and there was possibilities of the relationship dying or suffering problems.
In our present, the cards said that we need more time alone on occassion, though our love and closeness is building.
For our future, the cards predict marraige, healthy wealth, strong relationship with friends and a possibility of travel.

The past and present seems to be right - and the future sounds pretty mint to me.
