More RL

Cat has pneumonia, we think, is up to nearly $1000 in tests so far. Is also making up for years of being extremely low-maintenance with a huge burst of neediness. Subsequently I am behind on everything.

Will finish up both beta projects I have by tomorrow night, then can get back into some solid writing. Then I can start on the thousand-odd comments I am behind on and remember to give some more people some love, such as no_mad_skillz, who is thoughtful and compassionate, who_la_hoop, who is hilarious and possibly my secret love child, and spark_of_chaos, who I like for so much more than her F1 obsession -- but I love that, too because we can rave at each other crazily in a few weeks and she will wholly understand the Finn fetish (it's a Baltic thing).

Being as Mr Cal's cat has been banished to live with his parents for the last 8 years of our cohabitation, you may imagine I'm not so into cats, or any animals for that matter. Might be able to muster enthusiasm for a goldfish if you're lucky. In view of how strongly people feel about animal welfare I will hold back on the jokes involving cats having accidents with barbecues, which was the only Aussie cultural reference I could think of at short notice. Because I can't think of a way those tight shorty-shorts the blokes wear for Aussie rules football might cause harm to a cat.

:D

That's fine, as we know, I leave babies in bookshops, so I think you and I have both chosen well.

The last time we had a barbecue she sat under the table the whole time and was very helpful when the drunken sausage dropping started. NB, that is not an Aussie euphemism, though it probably should be.

Definitely.

Do Aussies play hide the sausage? I always get the impression they're much too roughty toughty for such gay pursuits. Priscilla notwithstanding, of course.
