Lullaby and Good Night







Bed time is always a special time. Although not for the reasons you may think. The first challenge is to avoid PJs, a trick performed only through practice and repetition. Here, for example, you see one of my failures.

On the bright side, I watch pre-bed time television. And stay up for as late as Maman et Papa will allow. The trick with television is to commandeer the remote. This photo shows a successful attempt. From there on it's clear sailing (so to speak). I choose the channel, I choose the shows. Saturday night's English comedy night; my favorite, Keeping Up Appearances. Law & Order is on some channel on almost every night. As for "reality television" I choose What Not to Wear and Millionaire Matchmaker.

All good things must end (again, so to speak). Eventually Maman et Papa insist on putting me to bed. They expect me to cuddle & lick, they croon and talk baby talk, and finally through sheer exasperation if nothing else I fall asleep.

Of course I don't know what I'm missing, but I'm convinced wild and wonderful things occur.

My friend Peggy tells me that she wrote a blog comment. However, as the comment moderator I must inform you that the comment's as yet unreceived. Still, I thank her and all of my faithful friends and fans, for their readership.

BTW, the previous comment, the one about my friend Peggy, was penned by me, not Maman. Sometimes readers confuse just who is the leading light and author of this blog. Thank you again for following my blog and for your interest in my life and concerns! --Mercury Murphy
