Travis and Eddie

Parents advisory: we had to put the paws over young Bertrands's ears a couple of times during the videos .. we missed each time and he didn't hear the word adorable in the first one.

Of course he now knows all the words to this song too. And sings the chorus over and over and we have donated a lot of pennies to the charity.

If I can save a life

And you can save a life

We can save a life

So, let's just save a life.

Lovely Christmas

As usual Uncle John knitted us all a sock or two for Christmas. In fact he'd been so busy that he'd knitted us socks and sock badgers with their own sock. And we had Christmas socks to leave for Santa Paws to fill.

Of course we left out a Christmas sock for Uncle John too.

One of the presents that young Bertrand found in his Christmas sock .... luckily someone remembered it was there before he tried it on .. was a pencil. We'd found a whole present to go with this .... a pad of paper and a visit to this site

http://www.drawingnow.com/how-to-draw-cartoons.html

What a quiet lemuure he was for most of the day.

And we all got the lovliest pictures to put up on our walls.

What a lovely Christmas it was.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It's almost ten o'clock and I think that certain lemuures should be thinking of turning in in an hour or two!! Not three or four maybe.

What a busy day .. padding the paws to the doctors in the morning thinking we were late but turning out to be early because we'd grabbed the wrong appointment slip while dashing the paws round trying to get there on time. Fortunately not too early though. What if it had been hours or even days early. Would the doctor have seen us before sending us home.

And what a change from the day before when we'd padded back in the snow. There we were at the doctors after padding there in the rain. I looked out of the window and said to someone "It's stopped raining" and I was right, it had. Half an hour or so later when it was time to go there was snow everywhere .. an inch or so settled on the ground with more almost blizzarding down it was so heavy.

What to do? Should we pad the paw paws back through the snows or should we use the carzies? We didn't have far to go so we decided to pad off home through the snow.

I thought that there'd be lots of snow the next morning ... but it had nearly all gone and the pavements and roads were almost clear when I poked my snout out of the door. Where had it gone? Surely it hadn't been warm enough over night to melt.

Brrrrrrrrrrr.

LaLa

Lemuures are late always!!! Well, I often pad the paws out too slowly when I need to be somewhere but I think I might just start getting ready on time because I found these lovely screensavers that tell you the time.

These are my favourites but there are lots more

Splosh

It would've been nice to pad the paws out today but if I had I think I would've been puddle jumping .. boiing ... boiing ... boiing ... whoops ... splosh!!!

It's been raining quite a time and I expect that the pavements are full of puddles ... big puddles ... little puddles ...................... bigger puddles. Not that I really mind but as I don't really need to go out maybe I'll leave it for today.

Gud night

Well, time to pad the paw paws to bed. Everyone has wrapped the tail around and gone to sleep already. Already!!! It's gone one in the morning and so should I .. the paws will be padded to the land of dreamy dreams soon. Though, as far as dreams go, I might as well stay awake because I very rarely remember mine. Once a year, if that.

Padded the paws to Tescoes for the beans and tomatoes etc and got a little damp on the way back. It was still quite warm .. ish though .. not as mild as it has been. Was glad I'd pottered out earlier than usual because it started to get colder ... and colder as time went on.

Agathering the softwarezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

How long is it since I padded the paws in here to do the bloggins????????????? As long as a ring tailed lemuure's tail maybe.

Or even longer.

I've been roaming the net and have settled here a reading and a listening to the archivies.

http://www.archive.org/details/IMC-presents-MALKAUNS-King-of-Ragas-022008-part2

Unfortunately we cannot sprecken the deutchies so we don't know what the introduction is about .. but we picked out the wordies Musical Festival so we think this maybe part of a musical festival.

But it might not be.

Sprecklzies Deutchies anyone?

Also we found this very nice word processor

http://www.baara.com/q10/

Where there aren't lots and lots of pieces of info catching your eye and making you think do I want to use that right this minute. And you can change the fonts and font colour and the background colour to have fun when you're typing and then, like magic, it goes to Note Paddlly Paws as if you hadn't had all the different colours!!!!

But. on the other paw, if you need or like lots of notes etc there is this

http://www.celtx.com/index.html

And they are all free.

Good nightzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

more zzzzzzzzzzzzzzs

Whoops .. where have we been. Well, nowhere really and we should have been doing the bloggings but time has been flying past. I get up and before I know it it's time to pad the paws to bed again.

It would be nice if I could sleep blog as I've been dozing most of the day. There are lots of hours in the day and I usually only sleep about 6 of them so there're lots to do things in. Hopefully today'll be like a catchup day for the sleepiness and tomorrow I'll be back doing the things that I should be doing.

But for now

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The family group


How many lemuures are there in this huggle of lemuures?

Bread

Well, went shopping for bread yesterday and was interested in the giraffe loaf .. a nice crusty loaf with giraffe like patterns on it .. what a bloomer!!! Why it's called a bloomer and not a giraffe loaf we couldn't work out but maybe cause everyone thinks it's a giraffe loaf and then finds out it's not and says "Qot a bloomer," Especially as next to it was a tiger loaf!!! All lemuures could make that mistake.

Such nice crusty loafs to go with the herbals. We haven't tried them but were very tempted after seeing those lemuures in Jerusalem with their sweet chala bread,

It's a long time since I've baked some bread. Bread is lovely straight from the oven while it's still warm and the margies melt from the warmth of the newly cooked loaf or bun but we've found that you have to eat it quickly because it just gets crustier and crustier and crustier very quickly til it becomes too hard to chew. Though maybe these days you can buy the new fangled flour that keeps the bread nice and soft. Uncle John says if we can get people to the moon this should be possible. We'll have to have a look and find out.

Maybe we could even try to bake some chala bread anyway.

more auroras

And more about auroras from How things work

http://science.howstuffworks.com/aurora.htm

With a nice video

????????

It'a nice that wunderground let's you play with their photos but not if you want them for the advertisments or to make money from them.

Uncle John asked if ewe could use them without permission if ur bloggins or diary had the adverts and I had to say I don't know. If we join in the Blogging survey we can ask all the questions we have.

Questions Questions Questions.

How to this and how to do that.

But I think they want lemuures who are nearer their headquarters and who are not always soooo late even if LALA.

I am always in a rush because I leave things so late.

LALA

We've just signed up to a blogging questionaire and study but expect that we're a bit too late and that other bloggers will have been chosen .. but you never know .. though we think we do.

LALA

Lemuures are late always

Aurora


We would like to take the socks and teas and go to see the green skies of Alaska after seeing Glacierwolf's lovely pictures on wunderland
There are lots more to look at on the site.
And a lovely picture show to tell us all about them here
We got a bit of the feel of the ice and snow as we're defrosting the freezer today but outside it's a lovely autumn day with no auroras on the horizon.
Occasionally they can be seen in the UK
We'll be waiting with a mug of the herbals.

Wonderful wunderground

The photo site is lovely .. didn't realise that it was more than a photography site .. there's a lot about the weather and they've just started writing about climate change which, ofcourse, interests all lemuures.

Dinner tonight

Ah, it's chala bread

http://www.wunderground.com/wximage/viewsingleimage.html?mode=singleimage&handle=BoazR&number=4126&album_id=618&thumbstart=0&gallery=


It sounds very nice


http//www.hodsons.org/Afeastofseasons/id23.htm


Just like peanuts are too

http//www.wunderground.com/wximage/viewsingleimage.html?mode=singleimage&handle=BoazR&number=4134&album_id=618&thumbstart=0&gallery=

Maybe we'll have peanuts with the rhubarb and prune yogurt for dinner tonight if Tescos has any of the roasted in the shells kind.

Breakfast

This is my favourite lemuure picture on the net at the moment,

http://www.wunderground.com/wximage/viewsingleimage.html?mode=singleimage&orig_handle=BoazR&orig_number=4134&handle=BoazR&number=4123&album_id=674

It must be a very tasty slice of bread and something. I wonder what.

Or maybe it's cake!!!!!!!

to hibernate or not

Someone asked if I was going into hibernation. Ring tailed lemuures don't hibernate but the bloggings can as sometimes if u leave it for a while it'll say it's going into hibernation a zzzzzzzzzz and then u have to click to wake it up again.

Some lemurs do hibernate though

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/06/0623_040623_lemurs.html

And if I was one of those lemuures I think both me and the bloggings would be hibernating for a few weeks to get lots of zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz because the journey down has made me a very sleepy lemuure I must say.

The bloggings was going to hibernate for a while ... while I'm having lots of zzzzzzzzzzzz but hopefully it won't be for too long.

Good zzzzzzzzzz

Tea poetry

Lemuure asked if I would write a poem about tea. I suppose tea is good to write poems about cause it rhymes with me and see and Glasgie,

But .. the muse has deserted me .. not that I could ever write poetry. Oh, gosh everything's rhyming automatically!!!!

But not very poetically .. and so far .. nothing about tea. But. anyway, are muses just for poetry cause if they are I don't think Paddington ever arrived, let alone pottered off .




Oh Paddington where are you?



Near Ladbroke Grove maybe?



I left you a long time ago



And now it seems you've padded those furry paws



A long way away away from me.



Where are those paws dripping marmalade across the page?



Away in Tennesse?



Well, it rhymes with me



And it's quite near Peru



So I wonder as you do



If the muse has packed his suitcase and padded off to Aunt Lucee



Where she might make them a South American Yogi Bear Choco brew.



Though to be honest I don't think I could write poetry if I had a thousand Paddingtons to inspire me.







Anyway, a poem for Lemuure and everyone about tea. I wrote in rhyme so that people would know it's poetry though you can get poetry that doesn't rhyme. What kind of poetry is that? I don't know not being a poet or someone that reads poetry. It might be called free verse or it might not .. that might be about rhythm and not rhyming.

I guess the wikipedias might tell us.

http://en.wikipedia,org/wiki/Poetry

You can write lots of different kinds of poetry. I haven't read the wikipedia article yet but was wondering if I could just write one word and it would still be a poem.

Tea

or

TEa

or

TEA

or

TeA!!!??!!


or .. could this be a poen?


Green tea

With water

Isn't Cokie Cola

Though it

Might

Be still.





Tea poetry from uncle john.
