I have to give this computer back tomorrow, and mine remains unfixed and a new one not yet decided upon. I’ll be back eventually, but probably not for a bit as the little guy’s hips are wockier than expected and require a ghastly cast which – due to the excellence of the public health system – needs doing in Sydney.
It’s not so terrible a problem to have in the scheme of things, but he’s my little baby and it makes me a bit sad.
In the meantime, please share with me a picture surreptitiously ripped from a stupid loifstyle magazine in the doctor’s waiting room:

Oh Jethro, what’s up with these clicky hips eh?
Hope to see more of you when the hips are de-clicked your mum’s got her new computing machine.

Poor babby. I hope they give him a groovy-looking cast. If not we’ll get byrd to paint it up and take him walking past Steve Pratt’s office

Poor dear little bebe. He’ll be fine & never remember a thing.

Good luck in Sydders! I hope the clicky hips sort out OK. One of D’s buddies had the cast on, and she’s turned out fine, so as you say, not the worst of worries, but still no fun to have at all. Hang in there.

Zoe, please do drop me an email and I’ll give you my mobile number. I’d be happy to catch up with you and distract you a bit while everything’s getting sorted.

Hope it all works out okay for you and Jethro. When do you go?

Sorry to hear that, Zoe.
Jaysus, Basil has really let himself go. He used to be so hot right now.

It’s so Baz, isn’t it?
And thanks to everyone. I’m feeling less sooky today.

That picture is the best. I think that cat must be a restaurant diner.
All the best with Jethro.

‘Wocky’ is a truly excellent word, but I hope you can stop using it soonest.

I am enjoying ‘Basil in the boudoir’.
Hope those wacky hips get sorted. All the best to you and Baby J.

Ah Zoe, sorry to hear about Jethro’s hip cast, hope the treatment goes as well and as quickly as possible.
I am glad to finally learn that my cat spends his mystery afternoons reclining smugly on piles of nanna jumpers though.

Poor Jethro.
I hope that you have a safe trip to Sydney.

I was born with dysplastic hips.
They put me in one of those frog casts for a few months.
Now I’m 43, and right as rain. And am I good at yoga, or what?
Don’t worry.

our little tacker had the wocky hips ultrasound six blocks from home, and that was enough to make me (and him) sooky. hope all is mended soon, take care.

It will all come right and he’ll end up a marathon runner with mum cheering all the way. So I have to go elsewhere for my “Big Brother” season reports?

Geez Zoe,
I’m so sorry to hear the bubba needs hopsital treatment, that must be very stressful all round. Hope you have a hitch-free trip. *squeezes Jethro’s tiny paw* “Take care, little man! Don’t worry, casts are the new black…”
best, Gianna

The little critters always take a year or so to run in. There’s always a few hinks and kinks fresh off the production line.
Best wishes for the little tacker though. If his future with the Australian Ballet, Davis Cup or Cricket Team is not gonna pan out as expected, then there’s always politics, film production, something fun with computers or even biotech or tort law.
Disclaimer: In my first year on this planet I was completely unable to control my bowels or operate heavy machinery. But now, after over four decades, I have overcome at least one of these hurdles.
I’m sure, one way or another, Owen and Sage will show him how to rock. And or roll.

That picture perplexes me. Nothing happens… and yet it is fascinating.

i swear – the cat’s eyes are following me around the room. IT KNOWS (stuff)!
