The toilet, broken, is running water forever.  We should really invest 400$ for a new toilet and installation. We truly have no spare money! Coffee is being made and whiskey is meditating in the cool dawn on the deck, resting his old bones. Billy is being young. TumTum, Vivian's mother in fact, is exceedingly diligent at portecting me from ego trips of Brian. She is most definitely not a lap cat to us but a bit to brian. She eats well when I make offerings to queen cats. Her favourite snacks? Mice. And Tempatation treats when she feels civilized with us. She has been seen feeding on birds. Her claws were left extremely long so she has daggers against other cats. She has has at least one suitor wherever we went. Kamma cat in Surrey, a striped beautiful pure bred tabby, was MAD passion curious about her. Another one appeared here as if he owned the property and even the dogs did not mind at the time. An Old teacher of your mother, Vivian.
