THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS BEREFT

Things are looking up slightly. The car is still not working properly, but Graham reckons he will be able to coax it to Bradworthy tomorrow to get Prudence to the vet. Each morning her hobble is much improved, but by the end of the day she cannot put any weight on the bad leg. This is exactly what happened with her other back leg a few years ago, and I am pretty sure that I shall have to find over a grand from somewhere to pay for the operation. But I always treat dogs and cats as members of the family, and I would no more think of reneging on my responsibilities than I would not think of neglecting Mother or one of the girls. These things happen, and when they do they have to be paid for.

 

Many thanks to everyone who sent condolences after the untimely death of Buttons the kitten yesterday. Especial thanks to Karen Gensheimer, whose telephone call came just at the right time, and to Judy Dyble, Rebecca Lang and Rick Wakeman who also have the knack of saying just the right things. I had a slew of nieflings (Jess H, and Dave and Ross B-P) round last night, and some brandy was consumed. This lifted my spirits somewhat. So today it must be onward and upward...

*  The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at  jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...

*  The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

 

* We should probably mention here, that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
