Revelation of the saporific kind

16 January 2015
Etoile Filante is delighted to discover the joys of camembert. She intends to submit a restaurant review to Eatability, explaining that the food at Joyfallee is good quality and the service friendly, but that the plating-up leaves a lot to be desired.

Next stop The Block!

After 56 years on the planet I have finally learnt how successfully to replace a tap washer (thanks YouTube!)……ridiculously pleased with this accomplishment.

The Egg-Laying Games

3 January 2015
Princess Sparkles has rapidly emerged as the new top chook. She has sought to cement her position by instituting a New Year competition: Layer of the LARGEST-EGG-EVER at Joyfallee. She is fairly sure she will emerge the victor, having just laid a 91 gram egg. Seriously handicapped by their stature, Hildegarde von Joyfallee and Theodora are frantically scouring the rules to see if they can enter as a pair, thereby adding the weight of their eggs together.


Princess Sparkles has remained unmoved and declared that the concept of chook-weight-to-egg- ratio is not included in her rules – she accepts that this may be assessed as unfair by the wider community, but points out that this unlevel playing field  should  be seen as a metaphor for life (as it can be seen, chickens are nothing if not amateur philosophers).

Effigy

29 December 2014

Chocolate Bunny is very pleased to find he has been immortalised in wood. He does, however, wonder if the immortalisation could have been in something a little more upmarket, such as a sculpture at the entrance to the Louvre, rather than a toilet brush in the loo.
