Small update on jury duty and cat

Don't have to go in today, but have to ring in tonight to see if I go in tomorrow.

Can't wait till this is over.

BTW - Trixie is in hospital - she's having an abscess removed and hopefully we pick her up tonight. Last night was odd without her around and murasaki_1966  couldn't sleep for worrying.

At least we know she wasn't involved in the cat fight that went on outside our window at 4am.

Trixie, that is. I don't think murasaki_1966  was involved either.

Happy 116th Birthday, Jack Benny!

For those who say "Who?", first you should be ashamed of yourselves, and second you should probably go here and download one of his old radio shows.

Here's a classic skit he used to perform with Mel Blanc

(oh, and it's also Youtube's 5th anniversary.)

I think the basic unit of comic timing should be called the Benny. There are very few comedians now and in the past capable of going the full Benny.

Trixie's back from the vet now

Trixie & wound

She's just a bit groggy from the anaesthetic and wants to go outside (of course) but otherwise she's okay.

Except for the wound in her side.
