Where did everyone go? .. it's so .. quiet!

[princessmoog]

What has everybody been up to?

[MisterCat]

Well, princess, as you can see from these photographs I've spared no expense in decorating my apartment with the most lavish "holiday" ornamentation imaginable. Or not.

Here below we see six mysterious personages from Sweden studying a three-dimensional U.K. model of Stonehenge, observed by a somewhat-larger seventh person named Ritona Yoko. Ivory elephants hold an ivory ball aloft whilst standing on an ivory table, the entirety of which display originates from somewhere in Indochina; a museum cat from Glasgow watches the goings-on; a hookah from Pakistan waits at the ready; and a folding camp chair endorsed by the late Sir Edmund Hillary looms in the background. That gray blob with the bamboo sticking out of it is the lower part of a table lamp.

Next we see the so-called "dining room" area, festooned with articles too numerous to mention here. (Huh?) Suffice it to say the Angel Clare from Middlesbrough hovers over the scene.

Lastly we have a nice photograph of some detritus, comprised chiefly of cat hair and dirt, which has accumulated on part of the kitchen's floor. There's also an enormous (and fake) Christmas tree perched on a table, just over the border in our "dining room" area.

[princessmoog]

How far have you got, mijj? I watched the first coupla series, then it went to Sky and I couldn't see it anymore

[MisterCat]

Aha, I've spotted a couple of Lost freaks! I was one, too, but the network kept fiddling with the schedule and I finally gave up: Lost became lost in a whimsical scheduling dance. I have no idea when, or even if, it's still being broadcast over here.

Ooooh I'm currently watching season 5 on DVD and anxiously waiting for season 6 (the last!) to start on Sky (although I hate watching it on tv because there's only 1 a week and loads of ad breaks)

Katherine Anne Austen

James Ford

Sayid Jarrah

Sun-Hwa Kwon

I have been roaming up and down the motorways, highways and byways of England on urgent missions for animal resue charities while studying for GCSE in het Nederlands and watching Wallendar and Dit was het nieuws on the internet...

I will, in quiet times, be popping in and out

[princessmoog]

It's nice to see you, Fruity. Sounds like you have been very busy!

[vidkid]

Fruity, I take my hat off to you, helping all those animals.

Coral is 4 months tomorrow & has been taking up most of my time recently, but that's fine. Am really looking forward to Christmas so can let the doting grandparents have a turn!

[MisterCat]

Hello, fruity! Hello, vidkid! It's good to see both of you.

[fruityjug]

we've not had the internet (or phones) since yesterday evening


when I finally managed to log in I had requests for 4 transport runs... bad weather doesn't stop animal rescue. Unfortunately I was unable to help with any of them because I can't get my car off the drive and all the dogs were too big for me to handle

we have a foster dog for xmas, he's about the same age Alfie was when he first came to us and what a difference there is between them! We hadn't realised how big Alfie is these days nor what a grown up and relatively sensible boy he is

photos to follow at some point...

the snow was melting earlier which cheered me up no end, unfortunately it must be freezing again because I can hear the cars crunching over the ice

[vidkid]

Aah, have a good Christmas Fruity, look forward to seeing photos of Alfie & your latest foster doggie. My cousin does a similar thing to you in the States, she volunteers at a shelter & fosters dogs, on top of having 3 dogs & 5 cats of her own. Great work you both do. Paulie & Mabel are enough for me at the moment and our house/garden isn't really big enough for any more. We have been so impressed with how well the cats have taken to the baby. They were terrified of children before, but Paulie lets Coral rest her legs on him while she's feeding now and they both nudge her for strokes.

[princessmoog]

Aww that's lovely
