262: do the dog, vol.7

Hi.

Today a final descision has been made

to bring our oldest cat Pinch to the vet...

tomorrow he'll put him out of his misery.

His nine lives have ended, he strutted around my life

for the best part of 21 years.

He's too sick (OLD!) to eat properly, use the catbin or even simply

sit and stand up straight for more than over a week now,

he's in a lot of pain, so we have to do the right thing.

-

Because he always got along with first one,

and then the other dog in the house

(and I can't bring myself to go look through

a bunch of "cattish" songs tonight!)

I'll do the dog instead...

-

We're gonna miss the old bugger!

261: drinking again...

Hi.

Today I propose a toast to the most holy ghost...

It's quite some cocktail, I'd say not to drink so much

different stuff in one night, but the comp is OK for almost

2 hours of shameless & uncomplicated FUN!

-

I myself will stick to a good beer, but feel free to pour a glass

or two of yer favourite poison and have fun.

-

Ofcourse a big thank you goes out to all my favoured

distilleries, the best brewers and all the bartenders who

I lend my willingly ears to over the years...

-

Cheers!
