has found the fun of frolicking in the flume flagging and has gone in search of
greater thrills. Spending his days in the underground tank suspended over the
long drop into the murky water below is now more his thing. He has convinced
Freya the Frog (somewhat reluctantly) to join him in his tightrope escapades. With
the possibility of water cascading out of the bore pipe into the abyss, he is
harbouring ideas of making a fortune opening the Joyfallee Water World. However
if he is relying on the bore pump actually working to create the waterfall
effect, his economic model may need tweaking, with JWW set to be closed for
about 364 days per year.</span></p>Nettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12646716221593841034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963183645984949645.post-8370149341184105402021-07-24T20:21:00.002-07:002021-07-24T20:21:54.109-07:00Theodora<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #a2c4c9;">22 February 2017</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

joy has disappeared from Joyfallee with the death of Theodora, movie star
chicken. She was attacked and torn apart in broad daylight, with her body discarded
on the ground like a poor broken toy, and feathers strewn about resembling
petals or fallen stars. A sweet and guileless soul, who never raised a beak in
anger, and dwelt in a world forever framed by her floating feathery headdress –she
deserved to live happily into old age and die peacefully – not to endure such a
violent end.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw2jXW87ndEZAQTnSjJ__jEijmVJR64mB7bvDtze4k-E9kb7cy-s1_h2d_jRzi3aoepPkcCa2wOiXb_J0v-ZCFCPEPy3ZJ1TXyK1CQ6PtqyFcGXOtKBLuxoAtE77iktXipe7uc6ressnE/s1494/Theodora.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1494" data-original-width="1486" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw2jXW87ndEZAQTnSjJ__jEijmVJR64mB7bvDtze4k-E9kb7cy-s1_h2d_jRzi3aoepPkcCa2wOiXb_J0v-ZCFCPEPy3ZJ1TXyK1CQ6PtqyFcGXOtKBLuxoAtE77iktXipe7uc6ressnE/w636-h640/Theodora.jpg" width="636" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p>Nettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12646716221593841034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963183645984949645.post-29003320408062239192020-12-21T18:49:00.006-08:002020-12-21T18:51:03.615-08:00Streaming<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">19 February 2017</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Oh

Cadeau is putting his best lip forward as a Mo Bro for Movember. Being a little
hard of hearing these days (…read almost totally deaf) he has been a bit
confused about the cause and is trying to raise funds for horse health. He
wants to establish a charity devoted entirely to ensuring that all horses
(starting with the ones at Joyfallee) have access to carrots on demand 24/7. The
first use of funds raised for this Carrotbank concept will be to establish a
warehouse-sized cool room at Joyfallee to accommodate the volume of carrots
that he anticipates will be needed to keep himself, Willo and Calamity in tip
top health. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Although Calamity is not averse to the African Plains Seringeti look that seems to be sweeping Joyfallee, even she is questioning whether her latest outfit is just a tad overstated.</span></div>

Cadeau celebrated his 31<sup>st</sup> birthday today by engaging in a spot of

being a major shared passion. In the
throes of first love, he even finds her affinity for 80’s style fluro leg warmers
attractive. Although they are yet to embark on a first date, he thinks if he

and a bevy of gold and white pinto babies. <span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Influenced
in the cultural sphere by the recent operatic excursion of a Joyfallee resident,
the Joyfallee plovers made a quick (though somewhat tiring) flight to Melbourne
to see a performance of Swan Lake. They were suitably impressed, although came
away thinking that a performance of Plover Lake may have been even more
compelling. Inspired by the spectacle they have taken up ballet with a passion and
are to be seen at all hours practising their dance positions, the arabesque
being a particular favourite. There is, however, a darker motivation behind
their enthusiasm, which is their hope that they can use their new found skills in
an entirely different genre for the delivery of insults – via interpretive
dance (of course accompanied by loud plovery percussion). </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Thank
you to the nice man in Woollies who stopped to tell me that he admired my long
(paddock) boots (worn on my shopping trip because they are warm and practical) and
that they looked hot!! (..I don’t think he was referring to their thermal
insulation properties). He then proceeded to ask, unprompted, if I rode horses,
and didn’t express surprise when I answered in the affirmative (ok I know the
breeches accompanying the boots may have been a give-away – worn because I
couldn’t be bothered changing). This unexpected exchange was a boost to my
recently dented ageing ego. With this pleasant stranger’s ability to raise the
self-esteem of the older person in society, I very much doubt he would be able
to get a job with Service NSW – nor as a superannuation adviser. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to self: Spend more time at Woollies and less at certain service and advice
facilities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

script: I am now to be seen swaggering around the paddocks in my boots like a
poor imitation of Lara Croft Tomb Raider…the paddock occupants remain
singularly unimpressed and just hope this bizarre behaviour won’t result in
later meal times. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
