NEWSFLASH: Orange Cat Update (From Shosh's Facebook)
The Orange Cat has been diagnosed with pancreatitis and hepatitis... still awaiting on the results of the TLI/cobalamin/folate but our presumptive diagnosis is triaditis. Ouchy! Adding new antibiotics and will start some pain relief too.
He has eaten like a HORSE today, BTW.

FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES
In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that whereas the study of out of place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot or lake monsters, it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean zoologist to be interested in. So after about six months of regular postings on the main bloggo Corinna took the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS WEARING A FALSE BEARD
It is another beautiful day here in North
Devon. This is the best summer for years. Graham is doing some arcane repairs to
the conservatory, Prudence is sunbathing (with her pink bits covered in
sunscreen) and the kittens are causing mayhem. Plans for this year's Weird
Weekend continue apace; it may or may not be the last one, but it is certainly
going to be a bloody good one. There are two main problems: firstly that the
team who helped me run it has dwindles for a whole slew of reasons, none of them
nasty, and the other is rising costs have made it more expensive to put the
event on each year, and more expensive for people to get here. So I really don't
know: we shall wait and see. One totally off topic recommendation is the
posthumous album by Ray Manzanek together with Roy Rogers. The album really is
very peculiar in parts, but well worth a listen...What's new on the Gonzo Daily?

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...

* 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) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) 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?
