Leonard in Oz

    Britain has been blustery. VERY gusty. Like...."whoops, there goes my skin," kind of blowy! It's affected everybody and everything and whatever hasn't been nailed down has been gusted off into the beyond.
 
     It would appear that a not-nailed-down-Leonard has fallen victim to the winds of doom, sucked up into the sky by the vacuum cleaner of the gods and returned to terra firma far, FAR from home - right on the opposite side of the planet.... Yep - he's been blown to Oz!
 
     It appears that the foreign exchange programme has an unsuspecting participant! Leonard, and accompanying storm bait, has plummeted to Earth in the land down under; but instead of crackhead Munchkins and delusional wand-wielding bubble addicts in candyfloss attire he's surrounded by enormous jumping shrooz and crazy beasties with murderous intent. No catnip in sight!
 
     Without a yellow brick road, our Leonardo DiCatrio will have to make his way to civilization and find a way to contact his sisters and their resident Aussie companion, Maxxie - maybe he can help?

*Note..... my ongoing scanner-based frustration is building to Apocalyptic levels..... I know it's a good scanner, and I've seen other people manage superb and accurate results, but no matter WHAT I do I just can't get the colours right! They lose all subtlety and come out way more blotchy and garish than the originals. And it just WON'T pick up the metalics when I use them. I am angry at technology....is there anything more pointless? You think if I lose my temper and throw the thing with the full force of my grumpy frustration that it will fly far enough to reach Leonard in Oz? Grrrr..... We may be finding out soon!!!*

Gusty Fluffs

 

     It's windy out!

    Looking back at the collection of kitty cartoons I'm seeing a bit of a pattern.... Every year we get the blustery, fur-ruffling windy-woos - if proof of the resulting bonkers devastation were needed then here it very much be! -

Maxxie Settles In....

 
    It's been a few days since our cultural exchange student arrived chez nous..... After some initial misunderstandings - Missy COMPLETELY misconstrued the "Hey, have you seen my didgeridoo?" question - things have begun to jog along in a fairly amicable way.
 
     While Sapphira's fascination with her new Antipodean visitor is apparently endless, Missy and Maxxie have bonded over a casual enjoyment of intoxicants. They also share some physical traits, notably a generous hind portion which presents each one something of a barrier when stumbling to bed in their allotted 'cat hotel' booths. The word the springs to mind would be "wedged".
 
     All will be jolly as long as there are no further language based euphemistic bafflements....
.......ah.....oh dear..... Maxxie's just asked Missy to show him her "most impressive billabong"......
