Spooky experience with my 12yo daughter L just now.

She was mixing up a strange concoction of food items, for a snack. I stood next to her and told her, "The word that springs to mind is ... ", but then I stopped myself and asked her instead: "What word springs to mind?" (We regularly play that game.)

Without a moment's hesitation, L said "Concoction", the exact word I had in mind.

She and her friends don't use this word, ever. I do use it occasionally, once every few years, and very likely I have used it once when talking with L, but that must have been years ago. Still, it felt like mind-reading. I guess it just shows how close we are.

Dear Friends of crazed pussycats,

One of our neighbours cats is a drug addict. I believe puddy chewed some of our 'Babycat' catnip. Went on fuel crazed trip through the neighbourhood. Came back to be sick. Right by the '#Nepeta cataria' to give its Latin name. During the night, I heard pussy singing like a fox in heat. ❤️

Well, it was probably foaming at the mouth, scaring other cats and itself. Had to hose away the cat vomit. Yuk.

To 'celebrate' the event, have planted olde English #Rose. Tuscany Superb. Should have already been soiled. First #buds being sapped by #aphids. Probably feeling a little vampired.

Warn cat owners. Cats can go #temporarily #insane when on their #minty drug of choice. May become #clawed, with biting #tendencies. Soon over.

Like #witches on similar human #concoctions. May both end their 'flight' up trees. Human flying #ointments, used by some European witches (also taken by early #astronauts to #simulate the #strange mind states they may encounter.
