PS from the Staff. Austin is always nagging requesting that we go to visit all our lovely blogging friends every minute of every day, but as there are so many super interesting blogs now, he sometimes gets waylaid and has to be dragged away kicking and screaming to do much less interesting things like eating and napping. So if we don't always leave a comment, it's not because we don't love and appreciate every single one of you, but that real life sometimes gets in the way .. and don't forget Austin has to get all his beauty sleep and build his strength up so he is ready for THE VALENTINE'S BALL next week!!!! xx
Hi it's Austin here. We have for your delectation today a mishmash (VBP) .. a miscellany (VBP).. a hodgepodge (VBP) of unrelated items.
First, for those of you who were curious to know and who didn't guess, the box that I was snoopervising held a TV! But of course as soon as the box was empty, I feigned (VBP) loss of interest and wandered off, so there are no cute pics of me sitting watching it or even sitting in the box. Hehe!
Second, I was napping and minding my own business this morning when I was brutally and randomly attacked!! It was horrible and quite unnerving. I had just got to the point in my dream when I was about to fillet the giant tuna when I was approached from the rear and deliberately gunked in the neck. Apart from anything else it is so demeaning! Now my appearance is that of a greasy punk with a dodgy mullet hair cut!
Third, despite my dishevelled appearance, you will all be thrilled to know that I have a date to the Valentine's Day Ball. What Valentine's Ball you may ask? Well this Valentine's Ball! Oh yes!
The sweet Sassy from Troublin Times has begged agreed to accompany me. She and I have our outfits sorted and are ready to trip the light fantastic (whatever that means?). If you haven't got your tickets or can't find a date then you need to get your skates on before the ice melts! The hosts are Mollie and Ranger. It's going to be a blast, especially as Nellie who is (not) the Cat from Hell has promised me a dance :) So, in order to prepare myself, I have been paying careful attention to my personal hygiene and imbibing illegal substances!
This week we are again participating in the Vocabulary Building Project (VBP). To see more about it please click on the badge below

dishevel, dish-evil (alternate) = the evil that is dished out to a catchap approximately once a month on the back of his neck which makes him look like a gunked punk with a bad mullet
OK, so there is this new bloghop that has been instigated (Vocabulary Building Project) by three blogging friends, Texas, Jet and Savannah. Here is the badge:
In it we are supposed to use 2 or 3 words or expressions that we don't often use! Now you will realise straight away that this might be a little difficult for Austin, as he is a complete logophile and a bit of a big head wordsmith extraordinaire (VBP en Francais just to be flash!). So what to do? Are there any words he hasn't used? Over to you, Austin.
Austin: I think I have already used every word that is known to cat!
Staff: Hmmm! A bit of a conundrum (VBP)
Austin: Well you've used three words already!!!
Staff: Indeed! That is serendipitous (VBP)
Austin: There you go. Number four >^,.^<
Staff: But it is supposed to be you that uses the new words!
Austin: Ahem! I am Dr Austin Tuxedo, Professor of Linguistics at the University of Mog!!!!!!
Staff: Of course! Sorry ;)
⟺
pilgrim, (from pill-grim) - yes it is grim having a pill forced down one's oesophagus (VBP) ;)
⟺
NB from editor. Being techy illiterate, we have no idea whether we have done it right? But I think if you click on the doodad (VBP) above, it will take you somewhere!!
Oh well! Some all-over-body newsprint cologne won't go amiss!
Hi everyone, Austin here! We have been absent in recent days due to the fact that my human grandma has not been well and the staff has been somewhat diverted. The upside to this is that my human uncle has been staying over and that means more attention and scritches. Truth be told, I love him being here as it means I am not the token male in the house and we can hang and do blokie stuff together and also his voice isn't so screechy.
Housekeeping stuff - Because we were getting so much spam the Staff has turned off anonymous and name/url options for comments. If that is a problem, please mail us and we will restore the options. Also, as an iPad user, those blogs we visit that have comments embedded below the post rather than open in a separate window, are difficult to type into, as for some reason the screen usually freezes. Mostly we have to type the comment elsewhere and copy and paste. It's a hassle. Anyway, just saying if we don't always comment, as there are so many lovely blogs to visit, we have to be a bit infrequent with our commenting, especially at the moment.
My toofs - The procedure which I had at the v-e-t-s the other week hasn't really worked, so I have to go back in February for another consult!!! Because of this looming appointment with doom I am planning a trip to Catmandu about that time, so the Catmandon't stick his 'orrible digits in my mouth anymore hehehe!
