Meanwhile I am biffing around here warbling Lili Marleen, increasingly badly.
Not nice for my neighbours.
Time to move on. Tomorrow Belongs To Me? I can do that one. On the whole The Last Rose Of Summer might be safer, although you haven’t heard me attit. Alley cats seek birth control…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU TWO!!
Should do something to mark the occasion. Gus is supplying the cake. I was considering a pie, but I don’t know if I’ll have time—and anyway, this recipe calls for two dozen blackbirds and I don’t seem to have any to hand…
How about three white ones, freshly planted?
Ah, the beauties.
Local conversation, overheard & imagined.
Gus: You are not the last rose of summer. You are a cat. I am leaving you blooming alone because you tried to eat my elbow. We don’t do that here. Eating elbows isn’t nice.
Cat: < blink > whatever. Joan Sutherland you’re not. Good elbows on her… <blink, chitter>
Gus: urk
Ooh, nice embroidery, Carinthia.
I shall take turns, flying the Soo-ly banner clockwise and the Twells-ly banner anticlockwise. Then after a bit I shall swap over. And after a bit longer I shall prolly have a drink.

Evil, joe. Just evil. I got it at this time in the morning, not last night.
(wakes up properly)
Oh, right, it’s that day again.
Happy birthday, each.
Thank you, Fishers and thanks to all.
Happy Birthday, Twinny-Twellsy!
Soo xx
Happy Happy Birthday dear wee bee
Happy Birthday soo and Twellsy!
I have arranged a display by the Red Arrows to mark the day for you, it will be over Douglas Bay (I thought that would be somewhere between your 2 locations) at 7pm this evening if you’d like to nip onto a plane to come and watch. It might have stopped raining again by then.
Have been for the rescheduled blood tests & to collect my prescription
Was at the surgery for 12 minutes, & in the pharmacy for 5
I appear to have 2 pairs of the knee high stockings, despite the dire warnings from the girl at the end of the 'phone in the surgery
Fine
They are not the made to measure ones I had in November - they are the ones I buy anyway .
Also fine
