I went to Trudy's. Well, it's a grim place she's in. But she recognized me and smiled. When I left she said Give the cats hugs and kisses. She misses them. She doesn't know the cats she knew died.

I saw the gull on the parapet again on the way back. Then i saw a hawk, and a squirrel chased the hawk, and the hawk chased a black duck. 

I can't help thinking about death these days.
