Mr Kipling's morning face

I was up bright and early, not through choice, but because Fred's alarm went off and that set off the cat alarm. Fred, I must point out, didn't wake up. However, I had some work to tackle and early morning is a good time to get stuck into words.

Later on, Fred and I played tonnes of Age of Empires (we play as a team against other folk), while snacking on onion ring crisps, drinking tea and enjoying the company of a sleeping cat on the cushion between us.

I'm now waiting for That Storm to arrive. Certainly, the wind has got up. I enjoyed the banter about it on the Radio 4's "Today" this morning. The old Michael Fish anecdote was mentioned. The weather people are nervous about saying anything concrete.
