Gods, I'm feeling groggy this morning. Getting up before 7 am to give
pierot a lift to the train station when I failed to get to sleep until 2 am was bad. Coming back and going back to bed until 11 am was probably worse. I deal badly with interupted sleep - I really should stay up once I'm awake. I've got that weird and sweaty feeling I get from lying in bed in the sun, and the mild headache I normally get from naps. I'm struggling with a massive amount of lethargy which I'm fighting. I need to phone temp agencies and nag for work! I really really do!
I'm also still pondering names for kittens today.
The front runners from yesterday remain Jareth and Oberon, but this morning it occured to me to go and look at Cornish names. They are Cornish Rex cats, after all.
Currently Brethoc, Catgutic, Frioc, Iliud, Maeloc, Medrod and Terithien are all traditional male Cornish names that I rather like. Of course, they have the downside of being rather obscure. I only know the meaning of one - Medrod - which is thought to be the root name from which Mordred sprang. They all come from 10th century manumissions, and so were in use uniquely in Cornwall in the 10th century, but no more than that is known.
I may be fixating a little. I really need to keep the theoretical nature of these cats a little more firmly in my mind.
