You can't go far in a motor car with my front door key

There has been nobody knocking on the fluffy-hair door wanting to talk to Simon. But I have decided to dress a little more smartly anyway (you can see my hansome new red tie in our photo below - thanks Emu for taking it, and giving me your tie). In any case, it does no harm to my standing as not only a detective, but also a silver back in waiting. (I don't really know what all of that means as I spend most of my time sitting rather than standing due to the way my legs have been created - which makes it easier to drive an F1 motor car, but more of that another time). So anyway, you've already met Nora the Panda and Simon the Sloth. But here in the picture is also Chubby.


Chubby is a chicken (I won't get into the duck debate right now) - and no spring chicken at that. She is a good friend and has spent a lot of time talking with the Monkey lately. Perhaps she is missing George, who lives a long way from here in a place called Swine or something. Talking of Swines, The Pig That Is has been given the 'OK' from nurse Nora (after reading the information leaflet). So no swine flu here, although Chubby has been a bit worried and still won't come downstairs to talk to The Pig That Is.

And talking of coming down the stairs. Nora is still getting hassle from the llama every time she goes up or down the stairs, as you can see. Not sure why he picks on her. I am always OK.

Maybe its because I don't make a fuss like Nora does. She also dances a lot, which may confuse him. Or maybe he wants to join in? I shall pass that observation onto Nora (observation is one of the many skills I use in my detective work).

Anyway. Time to go. She'll be back from the shop soon (hopefully with bananas).
