| The latest entry from our David Attenborough Giveaway competition. Yes, its meant to be a pic of you and your non-humans watching the box but we got this note: "Hi Anne and Phil, my name is Jennifer and I live the simple life, so I don't have a TV. I pass the time with a good bottle of red and a little lie down". Thanks Jennifer. (NB We must do the responsible thing and note that wine is a definite no-no for dogs, but good for Jennifer for resisting the magnestism of the teev). |
There’s nothing like a
three-legged cat-thlete to throw a spanner in the works of your day. There I
was about to blog this morning when a certain hero (aptly named Hero) leapt
onto a carelessly positioned piece of outdoor furniture and pole-vaulted into
the neighbour’s yard and was left clinging precariously to a fence with his
single front leg.
He wasn’t too thrilled
when I retrieved him but he’s recovering on the bed now.

Said piece of furniture is
too heavy to move, so I called a friend with a big muscly partner to see if I
could borrow him to fix that situation. To aid in his decision making I took a
photo of the furniture and texted it to my girlfriend with the caption “this is
the situation”. It went to the wrong number and a guy called Matt was left very
confused (for the people who believe - which I don't - sometimes tells me this is all because it is "Mecury retrograde"). Try explaining THAT to Matt. I think he thought I was some shifty person trying to move some hot goods.
Next week we’re
interviewing the fabulous Maria Temelkos, vet nurse extraordinaire by day and
vocalist for all-girl, floor-filling wonder-band that is The Frocks. There is
nothing these ladies can’t cover, and if you liked the original you will loved
the Frocked-up version. They've got a very special gig on next weekend, so if you're in town your feet won't forgive you for missing the Frocks.
