4 - Cat is sick. Post op to remove stones in his bladder has activated a dormant flea parasite (like biliary) due to the stress. He's not feeling well at all, quite weak. Shame, I feel really sorry for him. He better pull through! I love that cat.

I remember there was a Spar (not the name), it was a street over and a couple of blocks up from my uncle's house iirc.

It is a small world. Charlie's Spar. Near the Masonic hall. George bought it (The Masonic Hall). It is an historical site - so he was trying to get permission to renovate and restore it. Wonder what will happen to it now ? He had bought a few of the buildings as the battle reenactments bring a lot of people to Dundee. He wanted to restore them. Last time I was there - Charlie was still running the Hardware store but he must be in his 80s. Saw him on the video = he looks very frail. This must be hitting him hard as family was everything to him. Though he had an affair with a lovely African lady - had a son - left his wife to live with her as his common-law wife. Wife was horrified. I met her a few times and she was a really difficult woman - his new lady was much nicer. Lol that family was filled with drama.
My sister in law has 4 girls and has taken her father in law's son into their home and is providing schooling etc. You can imagine his dad is a bit old to look after a little kid. Think he is 8 now ?
