I finally get it with these pictures. Chaos is the movies star, lots of good looks, risky attention grabbing behaviour. Darkness is the character actor, who starts out playing the movie stars best friend but has a much longer career with parts in films growing better and better as the years go by… (Of course Chaos could turn out to be the movie star with legs… Clint Eastwood, anyone?)

That said, and in complete look into every detail of the stars’ daily lives, how are the (we hope absence of) Yellow squirts?

And as to the women in the background (obviously there to serve their needs, feed them and throw the balls) I hope the ME is treating you better too?

No, Chaos is going to turn his considerable charm to Saving the World just as soon as he gets a little mroe *mature*!! You know, the George Clooney approach! (Except I think Chaos is better looking! :))

Digestion is *fairly* steady lately but we’re due for a vet consult to see if any changes might improve further. I still have trouble picking the stuff up when we’re in town and you want to leave CLEAN grass.

No, the ME’s a b*st*rd. This is the longest bad spell I’ve had in a while. I keep reminding myself that a REAL bad spell is when I can’t get out of the horizontal, but . . .

Unfortunately probably because you fought it off for so long. Virtual candles (I am about to go to sleep, so your real one will have to wait for tomorrow) and hugs. Also got my mother some Green and Black’s with Ginger – she loves chocolate with ginger that until very recently you couldn’t find here, it makes her hark back to when she was a child and sweets were rationed over the war and afterwards. She tells stories of how she would go to the sweet shop with her Dad on the first of the month and blow her entire sweet ration! I knew I got it from somewhere. So extra rations for you…

Thank you! :) How old is your mum? Sounds a bit like Peter, who has a thing for ginger chocolate too. He’s 80.

She’s coming up to 71 this month. She was only two when the war started and her father, who was in his forties got sent to a munitions factory quite far away (at least he wasn’t away at war), so she grew up with her mother mostly for the next six years. She has lots of interesting stories about the north of England when she was young, but the storyteller in the family was my father, who grew up in the German occupation and had all sorts of tales to tell and told them, again and again.

How could you refuse anything to someone with a face like that?

I don’t. Therein lies the problem. :)
