Greetings Albert. I'm not faring too badly thanks. Yesterday's headache seems to have eased to just an annoying ache.

Hey, Dugh.     Glad you survived. Now where's my prezzie---uhhh, kilting story?

Excuse me...cats. Must you zoom back and forth? You've knocked over my plotting journal. That's not nice. Brats. *stares at cats looking cute*

I swear that makes me think of Miracle on the nip. She gets the twitchy stalky kind of high from spray nip. They've calmed down. A Mini story is plotted out and I must write. 

All the words.

They are. Such cuteness to. I dislike having to deal with litter boxes though. *sighs*

[Albert1434]

Well as you should know Lewis you are the cat slave enjoy

I'm glad you're getting some relief, bro. My son and I are emptying out the basement, and getting it ready for flooring and such.  

Hey, me too!

Oh yes. Two cats. My mother is the slave of Miracle but there is one large litter pan. So guess who gets to deal with it. *sighs*

Also, feel free to call me Sunny because I know there is another Lewis running around if I'm remembering correctly.

I keep imagining the Play Doh factory.  Can you tweak its tail and change the shape that comes out?      

I think that’s why they get grumpy

The carpet came up this weekend, but the flooring won't be installed for a few more weeks.

This old man is so damn sore.   Night, all... sweet dreams... and great days for those who are awake.

Sleep well Gary

@Bucket1 here's a picture of the new Sir John Monash Australian memorial in Picardie. The post says "17 000km! It's important to explain to kids that in 1914 soldiers came from across the world to "win peace". In Villers-Bretonneux the new Sir John Monash pays tribute to the Australian soldiers."

I don't know if anyone of you read Red Running Shoes,  if you did, you might remember this scene:

...Sox was wagging his tail as soon as he saw Ren standing in front of Lionel's. Whether it was because he was just happy seeing Ren again, or it was because of whatever Ren had in those two brown paper bags he was holding, I didn’t know.

"Hey."

Ren smiled at me and then handed me the tray with two coffees to go. "Hey back. They’re extremely busy in there, so I thought I’d get us something to go and we could drive down to the river, maybe to one of the piers and have our breakfast over there. The view would be better, and we um, can t-talk?"

"Okay. Sox loves to be down by the river, although…" I looked up to the sky, where dark clouds were coming up. "…it could start to rain."

"If it really starts raining, we can always open the rear hatch and have breakfast in the back of my car."

And that was exactly what we did as it started to pour down the minute we got there. I leaned against the back rest of the rear seats and looked out of the open hatch at the river. The rain was getting heavier; it was pelting on the car roof. It felt like we were sitting in our own world. Sox chewed on the rest of his beef sausage and I played with my empty coffee cup. Only a few minutes ago we had been talking about normal stuff: sports, a movie we both had seen, but then Ren’s answers had gotten more and more monosyllabic.

Anyway, I'm kinda sad today because we sold that car today.

G'day y'all.

There has been quite a lot of chat about Monash in the last few weeks. A former Deputy Prime Minister died recently and he was remembered for being quite a history nut. One of his favourite topics was Sir John Monash. And the other was trains  he could tell you the history of the different rail gauges in Australia.
