September 1st 2012

I woke to find PJ dead today. Since the fox came her sparkle had gone and yesterday she seemed really under the weather. Not even sweetcorn could lift her spirits. After a cuddle and a stroke I put her to bed on fresh straw but the night claimed her. She was only a few months old and full of the joys especially when having a dust bath. Although I try, it’s hard not to hate those red beasts of the night. This is my favourite picture of PJ taken only last weekend by Mike White. RIP beautiful one.




















It’s Brighton Pride today and as usual I will be shaken and stirred by ghosts. People I should not have slept with and some men I should never have dated. I will of course point out the cute ones as usual.

Stoned Soul Picnic by Laura Nyro for me evokes all the right Pride feelings of joy, sunshine & lovely people. She died in 1997 but did see the release of a compilation named after this track so it must have been a favourite. I picture Laura welcoming PJ into her celestial farm in the sky where she’ll lay eggs and eat corn for the rest of time.

    Sorry to hear of PJ's death. Folk talk of dying of a broken heart, but something happened to her. I'm glad we got to see her.
    Have a great time at Brighton Pride and remember, the great thing about the fish in the sea is that you can throw back the ones that don't measure up!
    Love,
