Unfettered streaming

14 January 2017

Dear 2017, FYI I have finally emerged, blinking, from the analogue era, bought at new TV and discovered Netflix – so I am unlikely to see much of you during your year. I may surface in time  to interact a little with 2018.

BTW Chocolate Bunny is loving the binge watching – but even he needs to take the occasional snooze break.

Clairvoyant

“We’ll leave the gingerbread house for you to eat” they said. “Thank you, but it will go to waste as I won’t eat it” I replied. …….it turns out I appear to be really, really bad at predicting the future.

End of an era

26 December 2016

With the recent death of Fidel Castro, Milky Way has taken the opportunity officially to end all pretence at a chicken commune. She has, instead, instituted a right-wing dictatorship led by her good self, and is enforcing the new regime with gusto. Her well aimed pecks have seen Etoile Filante becoming accomplished at the 50 yard dash in any direction leading away from Milky Way’s beak. The silkies, unable to see above their head feather canopies, are convinced at regular intervals that the sky is falling.

Frenetic frolics

Freya the Frog’s favourite forever friend Fabio found fantastic fun flopping in the fabulous foamy fast-flowing flume from a faulty faucet.
