It's cold and raining here in Melbourne. The cat is now on his way down to his holiday home and I am heading back to Darwin tomorrow night. The house feels empty. But it also means I can get this written without being mugged by the boy. He's been ultra clingy of late. Mind you, no more cat hair in the bed for a little while. This is a good thing.
Questions, as always, have been provided by Sunday Stealing.
1. Let's say your alarm wakes you up with music. What would be the worst song to hear first thing in the morning?
Meatloaf. I really don't like Meatloaf. Meatloaf has given me PTSD after having to listen to Bat Out of Hell end on end for a year at a job in the 80s. I never want to hear Meatloaf again.
2. How many pillows do you sleep with?
Well, there is four on the bed, but I use two. The thick one is used like a bumper, the thinner, heat deflecting one, is the one my head stays on. The other two are there to cuddle, if I so wish.
3. What size mattress do you sleep on?
I've got a standard double mattress. Is big enough for me and the cat.
4. Do you always sleep on the same side of the bed?
I sleep in the middle of the bed. When I'm in a hotel room, I'll pick the side that suits me best. If there's somebody else in the bed, I'll take the right-hand side. That's something to do with the fact that I like to cuddle and to be able to hear their heartbeat. Strange one that one.
5. Do you make your bed every day?
Yes. Religiously. Even if I do nothing else, I can say I've made my bed. I like to have it made before I go to work.
6. Do you keep water on your bedside table?
No. Well, sometimes in Summer, but normally not. The cat has a tendency to knock it over, so I've stopped that.
7. How often do you change your sheets?
Normally they will be changed once a fortnight - but once a week in Summer. Stops them getting to manky - and there is nothing like the feeling of clean sheets.
8. What's under your bed?
Lots of dust and cat hair, a printer I rarely use and a couple of suitcases.
9. Do you sleep in total darkness or do you like to have a light on?
I like to have the room as dark as I can get it. Some ambient light comes in from the hallway as living in the city, there's some light seepage from nearly streetlights. I have blackout curtains, which do a good job.
10. What do you remember about your childhood bedroom?
When I was a kid, I had what was called the sleepout - and enclosed veranda, for the longest time. It was six feet wide and 22 feet long and painted white. There was just enough space for a single bed. I loved that I had a room of my own after years sharing a room with my sister.

"Manky"! That's a new one for me.
Meatloaf can do that to you... I never heard Leonardo's Bride.. love it.Thanks
I agree--fresh, clean sheets are the best! Meatloaf was the first thing that popped into my head, too, but thinking on it further I came up with some annoying sounds that would really put me in a foul mood.
