He knows I am a  vegetarian, and every oppurtunity he gets he taunts me about it, telling me reasons why I should eat meat, and not listening to the reasons why I wont eat meat, if I eat a bit of cheese infront of him, he says I should not be eating that because I am a vegetarian, to which I reply, only vegans do not eat anything that comes from an animal (he did that last night infront of loads of people trying to humilate me, after the pie and pea's, a cream cake was served, and I had a slice, and he said I should'nt be eating cream because it comes from a cow, and John and other people who were near by stuck up for me and said I can eat it because Im a vege, not a vegan, to which he replied that vegetarians and vegans are the same thing, and everyone totally argued against that and pointed out the differences between vegeatrians and vegans, he knows the differences, he was just having a go at me), he knows I smoke, and a number of people in the camera club smoke, but he only gets onto me about it, I obviously go outside to smoke, but he is not happy about that, he has to go on saying I am causing damage to myself and other people, but he does not say that to the other 20 people in the club who smoke, just me, but I used to put up with all this, not wanting to make a scene, but last night was just to much. I was talking about my mams pups, and I asked him if he wanted to buy one (he has a 13 yr old son who is longing for a dog) to which he said he does not believe in keeping dogs in house's, they should be allowed to run wild, and I pointed out that dogs are domesticated creatures, and are kept as pets, I told him our dogs play out all day, having fun in the garden, and then come in to sleep cosily, but he was having none of it, dogs should be kept outside forever. I asked if he likes cats, and he said, yes, strung up from the ceiling by their necks! I saw red, because animal cruelty I can not tolerate, I have campaigned against it, I have confronted a gang of lads when I saw them kicking a pigeon, there is no need for animal cruelty and I can not tolerate people who are purposely cruel to them. Well, this man was about to tell me a story about how he was cruel to a cat, and I told him not to, I did not want to hear it, but he just ignored what I was saying and told me anyway. He lived in a upstairs flat before, and in the yard he planted flowers in a pot, and when he went to tend the flowers, he saw cat poo in the pot which made him fuming (I told him that cats just go where they please, they have no idea that they are doing wrong, but he wouldnt have that, he was determined that this cat was out to get him, and wanted to annoy him), so he buried shards of glass under the surface of the soil, and the next day, he said there was blood all over his yard, little paw prints of blood, which he found immensely funny, I told him he was very cruel and I did'nt want to hear any more, but he continued, he put wire over his plants to keep the birds away, and one night, 2 cats were crying in his yard, so he opened his window to chase them away, which is fair enough, as long as you dont hurt them, but he did, one cat ran, but the other got a shock and jumped into the wire and could not get free, so he got a brick, and flung it off the cat, it hit the cats side full force, and the poor thing howled in agony, and got away, injured, as fast as it could. I was seething by this time, and was arguing with him, telling him he should be reported, and that the cat was probably some ones pet, a cat that some one loved, and he has injured that cat, to which he said, it should not of been in his yard! As if the cat knew not to go in his yard, the idiot. He continued with his stories of animal cruelty, talking very proudly as if he was a good man for doing this, and he told me he was in his yard, fiddling on with his car, when a fluffy white kitten came in and ran under his feet causing him to trip and get a little oil on him, the kitten got such a shock, it ran in his open door, up the stairs and tryed to hide in his bedroom, he went running after it, but his now ex wife got there before him and threw the kitten down the stairs, so that the kitten got out of the house and out of his way, that is awful, but a mercy compared to what he was going to do, he boldly and proudly told me, he was definately going to ring the kittens neck and kill it! Well, I was so angry then, I had to really control myself not to get up and slap him, I shouted at him telling him he is a disgrace, that we have a cat, and he is so loving like most cats, all they need is a little love and affection, he said my cat is training me, I told him he is ridiculous, John came over then and heard what was going on, and I told John, infront of this man, that I was going outside, because I said, if I dont I will end up punching him, so I went outside, and stayed there the rest of the night, I was so angry and upset I was shaking, I was fighting back tears, John came out to comfort me, and this man came out to talk to people who were outside, and I never looked at him once. He will be there next week, and every week after that, and if he trys to talk to me I will ignore him, and if he taunts me any more, I will not hold my tounge to keep the peace, I will let rip on him. I told him not to tell me the cruel things he had done, but he just kept on telling me, taking pleasure in seeing me get angry and upset, he is a sick man, and I would'nt spit on him if he was on fire. So that ruined my night, and I am considering packing the club in, but I am on the commitee (he is too) and I dont really want to leave our friend, who is the president of the camera club in the lurch, so I dont know what to do, I will go next week, and just ignore him, see how that goes.

Today, I am just going to tidy up abit, have a relaxing bath, and chill for the rest of the day.
I hope everyone has a good day, take care all.

Our friend Sue is supposed to be popping in today with her laptop as she wants John to fix it, and this afternoon, John and I are going to my mams for dinner, her computer is not working the way it should be so John is going to fix that aswell. My hayfever is playing up today, I've ran out of tablets so my eyes are streaming and I cant stop sneezing. I have a pile of ironing to do, I think I will do that while John is fixing Sue's laptop.
Have a great day all.

It was such a great fairytale adventure story and one of the best film's I've seen in a long time.
I think today for tea, I will have pasta with pesto, yum, I have not tryed pesto yet, so I hope I like it.
On Saturday, I am planning on going into town with John to go to the library to get out a few cook books, I want Nigel Slaters 'Eating for England' book, it looks quite interesting to read.
I am going to have another coffee then get on with the day, so I hope everyone has a great day whatever your plans are.

I had a lie in this morning, John got up before me and saw to the pets and had a pot of coffee waiting for me when I came down stairs. It is really dull and cloudy today. When I have done the housework, John and I are going to walk with Foxy and Scrappy to Johns parents for dinner. We will stay a few hours and then walk home, and when we are home we shall have a lovely relaxing evening together.

Have a great day all.
