blamebramptonA 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 ...

He might refuse everything on the plate but he can slam back a whole fillet in about five minutes flat. With Buddy dancing around below the high chair to catch any flakes that might happen to miss Ben's mouth.
And oooooh traffic. Grr at the many times I have almost been hit while someone tried to make a mad left while on their cell phone. Or last week when I was getting on the highway and the person in front of me panic and braked almost to a complete stop in the last 20 feet of the on-ramp. Yes, that's much less likely to get you killed then merging. And then there is the crosswalk of doom by my house that I swear is only for decorative purposes because no one ever ever stops. *shakes head* Crazy car world.
BTW, I am nearing the end of my fic. I'm hoping to pound it out this week. I thought I'd send it to you, not to beta - that can totally wait - but just as a distraction from all the craziness?

Do send it through, I am trying to write diligently, but some reading would be great.
