The Cat's Whisker

You never really know what's around the corner until you go completely around the
bend!!
They1 do say
that moving home is one of the most spine chillingly unnerving things you can ever do in your life
time. Certainly up there in the same category as getting a dinner invitation for Hannibal
Lecter2, and almost as bad as finding out that the bad smell you had been blaming on
everyone else for the day turns out to be coming from your feet. A fact that you somehow completely
over looked but by the knowing glares on all your friends and work colleagues faces they
hadn't.
I am having to move because my significant other, Stooby the Mole3 has been given a promotion at work
and is relocating elsewhere. Not far but just out of easy commuting reach, and so we have to
uproot and move closer and I am finding it to be somewhat stressful4.
Saying that, the Lair was placed on the market last Thursday, and today (Wednesday) we have
had two offers, both for the same amount, within minutes of each other. No doubt the home of an
Internet Celebrity such as myself caused quite a stir in the Real World, and that is what prompted
the offers. So I suppose we will have to grab the bull by the unmentionables and make a decision,
oh the pain, the paaiiiin!!!
Other news of a cat5 nature is that
my good friends Mr and Mrs Krib are the proud parents of upwards of forty little Kribensis. Yes,
one of my fish tanks is far fuller than it used to be, even though we were promised on pain of death
that for Kribensis6 to breed you need
far softer water quality than in our tanks. So much for the so called expert advice!!! As I said,
Mr and Mrs Krib are very proud parents and are defending and tending their young with a zeal
little seen nowadays it's really quite charming. Though at times a little alarming as they appear to be eating their own children, when in reality they are just collecting the little stray lambs and
placing (spitting actually) them back with their little brothers and sisters. Everyone together...
Aaaawwwwwwwwww!!!
Oh and for those that always ask, you know who you are... If you would like to meet Kolin the
Long Sutton Terrier, you can now find her on her own web page, just follow the above link. There's pictures and
everything, and it's quite safe as long as you turn the smellyvision button to the off position.
Honest!!!
That's all folks!!!
way.3I have been
reliably informed that he is not a hairy boil.4Understatement
of the century.5Actually it's a bit fishy really.6A type of fish called a Cichlid.
