Fare
thee well The Snork Maiden. After a short illness, the decision had to be made
today to end her life. She wore the mantle of Top Chook with a level of
benevolence that bore testament to her gentle soul.
Chocolate
Bunny has caught a whiff of a rumour
that he, along with the other residents of Joyfallee, is to be featured in an
art exhibition in Dubbo. He is taking every opportunity to catch up on his
beauty sleep in order to look his rabbity best for what he anticipates will be
the arrival of arty types at the gates of Joyfallee. He is happily excited about
the prospect of being not only a member of the rabbit chapter of Mensa
(although in truth he is yet to receive a response to his application) but also
an Artist’s Muse. He has sent word to Theodora that she should organise a
competent feather-dresser post haste if she is to stand any chance of being
immortalised on canvas.
Theodora
is having a bad feather day. Frustrated by the lack of a decent feather-dresser
at Joyfallee, she decided to take matters into her own claws and create her own
wet-weather style. The result has forced her to the conclusion that she would
not be able to give up her day job (as layer of the world’s smallest eggs) to
enter the lofty realm of chicken feather design.
Pleased
to have mastered the art of responding to the commands of “sit up” and “spin”
(..or, more accurately, responding to the presence of sultanas in the immediate
proximity of his nose), Chocolate Bunny is in the process of applying for
membership of Mensa.
