We had an eclipse of the Sun today. There was something strange in the newspaper saying 'birds will fall from the sky and cats behave strangely'.
I did not see any birds fall from the sky and regarding the family; Duncan, Danilo and Demetrius were sleeping together. Mother Delilah was watching her son from my dressing table with her arms folded and great aunts were sleeping together.
Nothing unusual there.

From the Orange perspective, I suppose a solar eclipse is less disorienting than a bathroom renovation. When we had a small earth tremor here, Humphrey looked at me as if to say "What have you done now, Mom?"

so pleased to hear the eclipse did not
inconvenience the cats, nor did birds fall from
the sky. What a nuisance that would have
been.

Funny. Wow, you do have a big orange family!
