Last Thursday I played a gig on my 55th birthday. It was the best performance I have ever given and I enjoyed it more than I ever have before. Every song worked, and even the few age-related jokes I told for the occasion got more than a polite reception. I'm beginning to like this performing thing.

The weather here has been absolutely glorious for the last several days.

The porch is mostly painted, and it now has flower boxes and hanging planters all planted with golden pansies. The garden is partially dug and planted, and the seedlings that came up are doing very well. I found some landscape cloth that is way heavier, comes in vastly larger rolls, has an 8 year (I think) guaranteed lifespan, and is waaaayyy cheaper than any other hardware cloth I've found so far (yay!). The acupuncture allergy treatments have been helping a lot and I'm having what may be the last one this afternoon. The repair costs of one of our cars have begun to exceed its value so we decided to replace it, but we didn't have to spend anywhere near as much on a replacement car as we thought we would, and we didn't have to incur debt to do it (yippie!).

There may have been a mourning dove cooing in there somewhere, but I couldn't have heard it for all the racket.

Molly the cow was still dehydrated and hot from the truck ride to the slaughter house on 109th St. in NYC when she kicked down a door and ran dowb 109th street onto a one way street. Her ability to take one way streets the wrong way helped her elude the police, animal control and slaughter house employees. She finally hid in a back yard when police shot her with a tranquillizer dart.

The ASPCA stepped forward and have now granted her sactuary for the rest of Molly's natural life.

Manitas is working most of the weekend and I'm only busy on Sunday, so it's shaping up to be a blissful weekend, truly alone in the house with no responsibilities for the first time in a month. Bliss.

The only cloud in the ointment is the hole (and lingering smell) left by my dearest companion of the last 18 years... Last night I called out for Shadow to come and get some scraps and she wasn't there...

I don't have to be anywhere but here at home today, and I'm not climbing the walls with frustration at the thought!...and I'm not going to beat myself up if I don't achieve anything, either.

Liz, even after 5 years, I still catch myself occasionally calling my remaining hound by my old one's name! Just go with it for now, and feel that maybe she IS still around.

I know what you mean about the cat, I still miss my auld Molly.

My wean who is a strapping lass and now taller than me has got her place on the BTECH Foundation Art Course, it has been her dream and the first step on the road to Dundee Uni for the animation course she wants to do. It is all the more sweeter as Jane has Aspergers
