Cate was in Cairo last week and got back on Thursday. On Saturday she went to Jakarta.
Naturally when she is away the cats and I busy ourselves with household chores, shopping, washing, cleaning, dusting etc.
(Actually I don't do any cleaning because that would be depriving Mrs Moneypenny of her employment - but I think about it).
But when that is done we play and one of my current ways of doing this is to investigate the coolest Apps for my iPhone and iPad.
One of these is Angry Birds.
The idea is that these evil pigs have stolen the bird’s eggs and made them very unhappy. And rightly so – if someone stole your eggs you would be pissed off too!
The player has to fire the birds out of a slingshot at the pig’s houses and knock the houses down and kill the evil pigs. (Who sit there smugly with their stolen eggs - grinning at the birds. GRINNING!)
There is a high rate of attrition because whenever you fire a bird at the pigs the bird dies (by exploding).
If you are lucky the pigs die as well and you can move on to kill more evil pigs. It’s very satisfying - and much better that it sounds - and totally addictive.
I hate those evil thieving bastard grinning pigs!
I am up to level 3 (out of about a zillion) so have some way to go.
It is alarmingly addictive.
