Default what an evening!

I was working in Geelong today and left early to get home in good time for our citizenship ceremony.

Mr P greeted me at the door to tell me out cat (baby) had been hurt . He had a bloody eye and was hiding under the bed....between us we managed to catch him, race him to the vet. The vet saw us quickly (as we explained about ceremony) jabbed cat in arse, charged us $100 bucks and sent us on our way, saying :"Your cat should not lose the use of his eye"!

Of course we were then quite emotional thoughout the ceremony.

After the oath, the multicultural relations police officer presented us with our grass plants, whilst commenting that he normally takes these off people.....

The mayor of Hobson's Bay was the worst public speaker I have ever heard, but still we are now officially citizens....

That's lovely, but more importantly, how's the cat?

Thank you...

poor old cat is currently hiding in a darkened room with his weeping eye. I hope he doesn't lose it, as he loves going outside and I think we would not let him do so with partial vision (as we live on a road full of hoons)
