dreams can come true!

i am not sure whether or not i dreamt what just happened...

our neighbour (richard the bear) came around to the fluffy-hair house with his friend alan.  apparently alan is a master chocolatier and cake maker!  yippee!

look at these fantastic cakes alan has made!  and they're all for me!  (well, i might be forced to share them).  alan is very talented and a very nice animal.  i'm going to ask lewis if it's alright if he stays with us for a while.  paws crossed!

lots of love and crossed sticky paws, nora the panda xxx (and new bff, alan)

happy sunshine seaside

i felt a bit bad that we all had that nice meal without lewis.  we weren’t being racist.  we just thought he was away for a few days on another top secret mission with bond. badger bond.  so to cheer him up i decided to treat him for the day.

unfortunately, i got the address wrong.  we went to a place that derek licked, or something something.

luckily, lewis was able to use his mad (master of animal detective) skills to find a better place. 

so i treated him to a monkey la la cocktail.

we even dipped our toes into a bubbly lake (apparently called a jacuzzi.  what a silly name).

 

  then ended off the day talking to the fish in the sea (no codswallop).

 

i am glad lewis is my best friend!

happy sunshine sea side

lots of love, nora :-) xxx

Racism?

I was not too happy about this.

Hopefully next time when I come back from work, the animals in the Fluffy-Hair house might actually make me some food.  Just because I am on a diet.  I still need to eat!  Or is it because I am black?

Lewis :-(

counting sheep...

lewis is feeling a lot better, you'll be pleased to hear.  but as for me, well, i've had some difficulties sleeping lately.

even counting sheep has not helped, as you can see.

so i took lewis's advice (for a change.  i usually don't listen to him when he says that i eat too many cakes and things)...  i went to see his therapist!

here we all are after the therapy.  lewis said he was drinking wine to celebrate feeling much better.  although he didn't feel better the next day.  sometimes gorilla's are silly.

you'll be pleased to hear that i am now dreaming of fields of sheep.  there are always lots of them.  i'm so pleased i don't have to try counting them anymore!

lots of love and sweet dreams (or dreams of sweets) nora xxx

In Treatment...

Hello all!  Lewis here.  I haven't been on here for a while, I know.  Very sorry.  Unfortunately all the work I have been doing has made me a bit stressed.  It doesn't help that I cannot tell you about the work, as it is all very top secret.  Anyway, things got so bad, that I actually went into therapy!

Strange, you may think.  A handsome, intelligent gorilla needing therapy.  But it happens to the best of us and there is no shame in it.  Anyway.  Here I am with my therapist.  He made me talk about lots of things.

It was very helpful.  Even Nora is thinking of going because she keeps having nightmares about falling out of a tree (apparently, that happens to pandas.  A lot).

 
My therapist and I got on really well.

So well, in fact, that he gave me a book to read and I even ended up helping him!  He gets stress too apparently!

I shall go and see him again, as we got on so well and he was very helpful.  I would recommend it!

Just popping off now to eat a banana.

Lots of love and happy thoughts,

Lewis MAD (obviously this means Master of Animal Detective and not that I actually am mad (mind you, I think my therapist is!)) xxx

monkey olympics

yay!  it's monkey olympics time!  we in the fluffy-hair house have been waiting for this for a long time.  monkey did very well with his high bar gymnastics routine as you can see.

but monkey brother unfortunately fell during his routine.  oh dear. 

but he recovered well and went on to win the 10m sprint.

look at him go!!



in the end, monkey won gold for his high bar routine and monkey brother won gold in the 10m sprint.  we are all very proud of them.  i have heard a rumour that their medals have chocolate inside, so i am off to wade through the crowds of animals to test out this rumour (i hope it is true as i have only eaten strawberries today).

lots of love, nora the panda xxx

game goes sour

we decided to play a game today.  we are helping lime the tree frog with his speaking skills.  he has some special needs (as you can see, he looks a bit like a mentalist, which lewis says is not a very nice thing to say: apparently its not very pc. but a pc is a computer, so i'm a bit confused).  anyway.  he finds it hard to speak (he just whistles a lot - and still annoyingly jumps up and down a lot - the other day he shook the chair so much with all his jumping that the cake in my hand fell on the floor!).  anyway.  the game was a describing game.  it started off quite interesting, as you can see.

lime accurately managed to describe me as the one with the sweet tooth.  i think he is quite clever really.  lewis wasn't too happy that he got caught picking his nose.  and then everyone started fussing a lot because monkey stubbed his toe.

they went on and on about it.  so much so that i fell asleep (us pandas do that a lot).  i wasn't too happy about the comments they made about me.

we then had an argument over the cards above.  we each wanted to have all of them.  lewis, of course, said he should have the genius description card because he is MAD (master of animal detective).  lewis ended up getting so annoyed that nobody could make a decision, that he stormed off, as you can see below.

he was muttering something about letting one go (it wasn't me).

so everyone is now in a mood (apart from monkey, who is always happy).  it was a silly game anyway.  i hope we can play a better game tomorrow.

lots of love, nora the panda x
