gooseberry fool

lewis said ha ha april fool when he promised me just desserts and sour grapes  but i still haven't got any and i'm very hungry.  as hungry as a bear.  the proof of the pudding is in the eating, but i'm still waiting.

nora a fluffy-march-hare no longer :-(

lunatic

i have been dreaming some odd dreams lately.  this was one of them, i think (although who got in my head with a video camera?  the thought police?)  it was a full moon yesterday, and lewis said that might have something to do with it.  he told me all about dogs howling at the moon when it was full (eating too many cakes?).  he then muttered something about a lunatic, which i think has something to do with a clock.  anyway.  i am a little confused at all this.  hopefully, being the start of a new month tomorrow, these dreams of lunacy will stop, and i'll go back to the usual fluffy thoughts of cake and sweet snacks.

love and cakes

The Kitchen Olympics

What, more talent? I hear you ask. Yes. It is true. The Fluffy Hair house has been taking part in the Kitchen Olympics! Here Nora and I are racing in the skeleton bob (not, as Nora thought, the opposite of a fat man called Bob, as that would be silly and does not make any sense).

I think my aerodynamic figure helped me to win that one.

I also tried my luck with skiing, but found this a bit tricky. As you can see, skiing can be very difficult without the proper equipment.

Nora seemed to enjoy the curling the best. She was actually quite good at it. Surprisingly along the way (or perhaps not), she found a couple of biscuits that she had hidden under the rug. Unfortunately, this made each game take a lot longer, as many nibbles were had in between delivering the stone and sweeping (not to be confused with a postman with a heavy parcel and a chimney cleaner).





The final race of the weekend was the bob sleigh. Again, Nora was slightly confused about the possibility of an unsightly and untimely death of someone called Bob. However, after the confusion abated, we had a great race! Some of the animals in the Fluffy Hair house came to cheer us along. Yes, even Zippy! He is not too well still, bless him, and spent most of the time shouting "George" and "Geoffrey."



But anyway. As you can imagine, we are now both very tired, so will be going to sleep early tonight. We hope you have enjoyed a glimpse of the Kitchen Olympics, and hope to have more teams competing in four years time.

So, good night

Love from Lewis (going for gold!) xx

PS Nora (going for gateaux) sends hugs too

wooly rooms

my new year desolution or revolution or something something is to eat less cake. lewis said i had to, so here i am only with one slice. it was a bit fluffy, just like me, as dolly had given the fluffy-hair house some of her wool to use. i must say, although don't tell her, that it was a bit tough and chewey. it was woolly in many senses of the word (i don't really know what that means, but lewis told me to write it to show a comical play on words or something something).

but anyway. lewis was happy that i only had a slice (although he doesn't know there are many others).

we decided to go away for the weekend. lewis felt like a rock star as we stayed in his own room and he met up with his lemur friend to jam (apparently this did not involve eating jam or any scones) and play his drums again. too bad there wasn't a nora or a panda room. if there was I am sure it would be filled with cake, pink dresses, hammocks and dvds of holby city. i hope that next time we go away there is.

anyway, lewis wanted me to show you this picture. although i'm not sure why because he doesn't spell his name like that.

i'm off now. lewis is trying to teach me yoga (not to be confused with our friend yoda) to help me and my big bottom.

lots of love

nora the panda, who one day wants to have a room named after her just like a certain gorilla i know xxx

Fitter or Fatter?

Well, in my effort to keep fit, I decided to get some guidance. So Nora and I settled down to read some instructions of how to walk. Nora thought this was all a bit silly because, of course, we know how to walk. As you can see, she did not take much interest.

Anyway. I decided to take a walk on my own. As you know, I have rather a big bottom, so find it difficult to get the correct walking posture (it takes all my effort to hold it in). So I had to keep stopping for rests. But these were in some very beautiful places as you can see.

Here I am in the middle of a field! Luckily there were some sheep around, so they gave me a 'lift' to a church in the woods.

Here I am resting with God, nature and some dead humans.




When I got back to the Fluffy-Hair house, I was very disappointed to find Nora raiding the cupboards for sweets. Shocking! She excuses it by saying that no matter what happens she will not get any fatter or any thinner.

I suppose there is some truth in that, but being an active gorilla, I would much rather be fit than have all my teeth fall out.

Have a happy week.

Lots of love from Lewis x

Normality

This was us last week. Playing without a care in the world (although Nora did care about being cold, even though she has fur, so is paying the Blankey again for his coat services).



But now the snow has gone. So our days of playing and eating and being silly are over. We are back to normal in the Fluffy-Hair house. That means back to arguments over the chores, back to trying to eat less carrot cake (Nora) - but still coming across crumbs and denials of cake existence... but also back to blogging (sadly, not tobogganing).

As we have been so busy playing, we forgot to tell you about Christmas. As you can see, we had a good one. I got a new hat and Nora got some treats (sweets). There was peace and love abound (apart from sounds of Nora munching away).

But the holiday is over now. I shall be getting back to my detective work, and Nora has been developing her nursing skills by taking our temperatures in this cold weather.

We hope you all have a great New Year. My resolutions are:

• to eat something else other than bananas (possibly bread or pears)
• to get fitter (by popping to see the sheep a bit more often and possibly jogging around the garden)
• to develop my detective skills further (by possibly doing a qualification at the Gorilla College of Gorillas)

lots of love, Lewis xxx

squirrel toes and wining

don't panic! we are alive! it's just that everything has been so busy that we have not had time to write on here. i have been forced to eat more cake than usual and do more chores. with that and all the sleeping us pandas need to do, that leaves little time for anything else.


its also time for ludicrusmas or something something with lots of chocolate, a baby, a gorilla, an unstable (animal? zippy?), some wise camels and sprouts. lewis said he would tell me more about it. at the moment, though, he is in the other room singing with sir richard cliff about squirrel toes and wine or something.


perhaps we should sit by the fire, like we did yesterday. lewis can tell me the story about the baby panda, whilst i eat a pie of mince (not the meat stuff because i am a vegetarian) and sip some yummy cream (yum yum)



yes, i think i'll go and find him...

see you soon! lots of love and sprouting cakes

love from nora xxx
