Happy Birthdays and cat update
A very happy birthday to dumbys_baby and i_autumnheart, who are both nearly at the day after, but the phone was used! Fingers crossed life will calm down enough for the three of us to catch up in person before too long. Easter, I suppose.
Happy birthday also tocelandineb who is such a force for good, I hope that the silly things that are plaguing you will stop soon and under_an_oak, who wages a glorious battle against faceless corporatism, with style and wit. I hope you have both been visited by the present fairy. Happy birthday for tomorrow to aoifene, you're lovely, but you know that.
OK, that's enough about people whose parents were frisky in June.
Saw Min this evening, she was mildly interested to see us, which changed to fairly interested when we pulled the tins of pink salmon from my handbag. She'd not been eating today, probably because they offered her cat food. After hoovering most of one tin, she looked up at us with an expression of mild satisfaction. The vet laughed a lot. We explained that when she was feral she lived on rats and scraps from the Thai restaurant and was fed tidbits by the posh restaurant crew.
She seemed in reasonable nick, if quiet and grumpy. She hates her drip, but may well lose it tomorrow if she keeps eating and drinking. And then it looks like chemo on Wednesday or Thursday morning.
Then we were trapped in a traffic jam on the North Shore, where people cannot manage a simple merge to the point they cause accidents. At least there's a fair chance it was an actual OAP ...

Given where we were trapped, the highest likelihoods are either than it was an 87-year-old in a Volvo who was ploughed into by a young mother in a Jeep Cherokee when her attention was distracted by her baby wailing at the same time as she was answering her phone, OR a 17-year-old in a SAAB or souped-up Subaru who who panicked as he saw a Jeep or Volvo veering towards him and drove into a wall.
The actual accident was long gone by the time we reached where it seemed likely to have been. Then again, given it's Sydney, it's wholly likely that a bus just decided to block an intersection for half an hour, because it could.
