Carnivals are so much fun. The colours, the music, the smells. It’s like wandering around in a dream. 

Just outside the pub they had this huge group playing carnival music. As soon as you hear that drum beat your hips start shaking and before you know it you’ve been sucked into this crazy dance with all crazy kinds of percussion instruments. 

I rediscovered my love for the wondrous life of cats. There was a wall of cats and dogs all looking for new homes, each with a paragraph of why they’d be a perfect partner for you. Cats named Raoul, Paul and Bernard. Bernard tends to dribble when you fuss him too much, but what’s a little dribble between two friends?  

I don’t know whether it was the 2 litres of caffeine flowing through my veins or just the carnival atmosphere itself but I was in another world.
