- Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will urinate on your computer.
I don't know who said that but it's true. Mine throws fur-balls in strange, undetectable places; the best, to date, was a bowl of pot pourri. I use the word Best as from her point of view. - But enough of my cat. My friends are not acting in the way that imagined they would. The sufferers are recovered, thankfully, but the one who recieved death threats has gone home to mother after reporting the threats to the police. As the threats were not made, as I originally thought, by the ex-husband, but by a drunken friend, while the ex and his new girl friend giggled and tried to disuade the caller in the background, I thought the whole course of action was a bit extreme. What was even more over the top was the fact that she sent a text telling all the facts to her fourteen year old daughter, who, the day before, began a three week European tour with the Youth Philharmonic. That must have reassured the daughter a lot.
- The friend who suffered an unexpected split in his marriage emailed me to say that he had joined an online dating agency and had already met two people. 'It's like getting back on a horse after a fall' he wrote -but as an ex-rider, and one who never fell off, I not so sure it's the same. A bit like people who have never written a book but who say that writing a novel's like giving birth. As one who has experienced both novel writing & childbirth, I feel I can say that it is not.
- But what do I know
