I’ve done something* to my upper back, so that much of anything that’s not done with perfect posture–say, crouching or bending to take a memory stick from the computer–is breathtakingly owie. Right along the spine between my shoulderblades. This is not my idea of fun. I’d really like a massage. Zilli is clubbing around and not at all happy about it. Neither am I. Last night he sat on my lap for a while and wanted to lick his cast, so I put my hands in the way. After that…
flamenco!
Because Ted is a very good husband, he remembered that we had tickets to A Compás!, a flamenco dance concert that I’d seen advertisements for and thought would be very cool to go to.

He was very mellow about being at the vet’s, and very cranky *indeed* when she started examining his shoulder and leg on her way down to his foot.
