I watch your face The way you move Tired eyes and maybe sad There’s hesitation in your voice I wonder what you would have said What was it that Held the words at bay My head and heart are full Near spilling over with things unspoken Perhaps it’s mere imagining That I see in you what I feel in me Hoping that you do have Questions, answers Things to say Continue reading All the unsaid things
The cow in the lounge room was definitely not Gemma’s fault. It seems important to make this clear from the start given that it has taken her quite a long time to stop feeling horribly guilty about the Not a Baby Groot After All invasive vegetation incident of 2014. No, the cow in the lounge room was quite clearly the cow’s fault and I hope she is feeling suitably ashamed of herself. I should begin at the beginning I suppose. Mum, Dad, Gemma and Harry were on holidays last summer, staying at the big farmhouse that belonged to Grandma Kathy. … Continue reading La vache est dans la maison
It was a bold plan, and only the boldest of cats could pull it off. Night had fallen and, despite the absence of darkness, it was time. #sebastianaral made his move. #brendathecivildisobediencepenguin was unceremoniously shoved off her precarious perch on #storagellama and operation Liberate The Toys was underway. It took a few goes, and it’s possible some of the more awkwardly shaped or less loved toys were left to fend for themselves, but Sebastian is confident that the operation can be declared a success. #matildaekaterin seems pleased with the results. Continue reading Day 21 it’s been a busy one
#sebastianaral: Um, guys? I thought we were waiting till it got dark. It’s not dark at all! #matildaekaterin: The advice was to wait for nightfall, wasn’t it? The sun has definitely gone down. #jarvisgaleni: You’ll be fine, I was up there watching for hours and didn’t see that #storagellama fella or the penguin move even once. They’re probably dead or something. Get on with it. Continue reading Day 21 continued
After the disastrous breakdown of negotiations (we are yet to hear an update on the welfare of #bedroomdoorbear) #jarvisgaleni and #sebastianaral decided it was time to confer with a higher authority. The advice they received was to wait for nightfall before attempting a rescue. And so they did. Sebastian undertook to lull #unibasketcorn into a false sense of security by appearing to be interested only in what was going on in the street outside. Meanwhile Jarvis embarked on an aerial surveillance of the target. Continue reading Day 21
Negotiations for the release of the hostages are not going well. Frustrations are rising. #bedroomdoorbear is making unreasonable demands. The tension in the room is palpable. #jarvisgaleni is losing patience and is no longer willing to follow the path of peace advocated by #matildaekaterin. #unibasketcorn stands firm in the face of Jarvis’s posturing. But it’s too late, negotiations have completely broken down… OH NO JARVIS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!!! Continue reading Day 20
In response to the defamatory suggestions made yesterday about possible nefarious deeds committed by #storagellama and #brendathecivildisobediencepenguin, they have taken the drastic step of taking all the cat toys hostage. This escalation is deeply concerning. Continue reading Day 19
All is well. #sebastianaral has arrived on the scene bearing a smelly sock, the mere presence of which was enough to get #matildaekaterin back on her feet. She went for a brief walk to clear her head and returned wondering why all the fuss over a little bit of sunbathing? (Editorial aside: Sebastian! Why are you stealing my sock?) Continue reading Day 18 continued
Quelle horreur! What dastardly deed has here been done? Did #brendathecivildisobediencepenguin flap her flippers for freedom a little too furiously? Has #matildaekaterin, the matriarch of the feline family, been bludgeoned by #bedroomdoorbear? Did #storagellama slip her something suspicious? Only #owlsandbag was on the spot to observe and he looks a little overwhelmed. To be continued… Continue reading Day 18
Rumours have been circulating about trouble brewing. Our great leader #jarvisgaleni is determined to get to the bottom of this! He persuades #bedroomdoorbear to spill the beans. “No, not up there, over there!” “Up on the…no not the ceiling! The…sigh…never mind.” #matildaekaterin denies any knowledge and doesn’t appreciate being interrogated every time she walks through the door. Jarvis wonders who else he can ask. #owlsandbag, engaged in the Very Important Job of keeping the door open, stays silent and does not share what he has seen. And oh, #owlsandbag has Seen Things, has he ever. Continue reading Day 12
