Froggy follies

 

4 March 2017


Fabio 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.

Theodora

 

22 February 2017

The 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.

Oh Netflix what are you doing to me? I find myself just a little bit infatuated with Jamie Fraser (Outlander)…ok a lot infatuated. I think the age separation of more than 3 decades and the time separation of about 3 centuries shouldn’t present too much of a barrier….

Endings

Sparkle to ashes, shimmer to dust. Milky Way – social experimenter, founder of the chicken commune, sometime egg layer and perfect paddock ornament – now lost to us.

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.



Useful gadgets

Thank goodness the flat pack assembly tool kit included a Universal Rabbit Key.

Some of the above-ground dwellers at Joyfallee are more challenged than others when it comes to their preferred place of abode.
