The Garden

[Norlioness]

Crazedwraith certainly was about. Rest easy now - he didn't give the doctored Dr. Pepper to MG-1. He gave it to ME! Grrrrr! So, I was in a hypnotic daze the whole day yesterday. Sheesh!

So, *rubbing paws together* what's left to eat. SB, are the prawn kebabs ready yet? I'm famished!

*sees FHB in the herb patch and goes to check* Whatcha doing, FHB? Ooooh is that catnip? *runs in and happily rolls in the plant*

[Bagpuss]

Alas! NOT Catnip. FLEAS!!!

Back in a mo',have to see a Vet smartish!!!

*FHB suddenly becomes a Feline Fireball*

AAAAAHHH,the Dragons strike again!!

*Checks Fur*

OK,now to apply soothing ointment. No fleas left!

*Applies Herby Paste.........in a discreet corner of the Garden...and puts on a handy outfit.*

Decent again,no worries.

*Passes NL some Prawn Kebabs!*

Loads of fodder left...but no cheese.Mice ate it all.Again.

[Norlioness]

I could have sworn those were catnip plants.... ah... too dazed....

*takes kebabs* Thank you, FHB. *scrompf, chews, smack lips*
Both FHB and NL sit back and have a lovely feline chat... about the horrors of fleas, tut-tut about the dragon's flaming antics and sympathizing with FHB's loss of fur patch.

No cheese left?! *glares at MG-1*

Well, how about some Georgia peach cheesecake? Yum! *hands a slice over*

Just then, FHB gets bowled over by Crazedwraith from TLW thread. NL couldn't believe her eyes. Chases after CW to chew his head off (not literally)........

Be back soon...............

[Bagpuss]

See ya *MUNCH* Soon,*CRUNCH* NL!

Hope you got TLW! *GRONF*

FHB decides to check on the MG-1 Gang.

Aaahhhh! How cute! They're all tucked up in a furry,overfed clump again.

Shame about the cheese,but the little Furballs did work their teeny little Turquoise D.M's off,building the Gazebo and Pond!!

FHB decides the Peach cheesecake is absolutely lovely,but puts most of it in a Coolbox,as NL may need some later..........

*Carries on tidying up the Garden,singing happily*

[SeaBee]

Having survived the rush for cooked comestibles (sheesh! locusts have nothing on you lot!), SB sits under the gazebo to work his way through a quarter cajun chicken, a pork satay kebab or two, a 16oz steak, mushrooms, peas, tomatoes, baked potato with chilli, a large slice of cheesecake with whipped cream...and a diet soda.

Sorry FHB, I would help tidy the garden, but for some reason I am unable to move!

[Bagpuss]

FHB is somehow not surprised!

Wow! SB looks so content,if overfed.....Sheesh! Look at all the Leftovers,and mess.

Seeing as SB made all the Meaty BBQ Dishes,FHB resigns herself to doing the clearance....

*Flurries around,in a big hurry to tidy up...*

There! All clean and Ant-Free....

*Starts on Mowing the grass*

*Gets bored*

*Starts Singing and Dancing*

*Goes into a "Moonwalk" Routine*(Michael Jackson:Eat your Heart out...this Cat's got Style!)

FHB soon gets bored and settles down for a nap.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!

[Norlioness]

I'm baa-a-ack.

Ooh FHB, you've been busy. Well, SB and FHB, you've got the right solution to end a lovely day.

Tummy all full, and now a nap - sounds like a good idea - it's ridiculously hot today too - close to 95F deg. *tongue lolling out - like a dog*

*looks at pond* then *looks at cool shade*
Cool shade wins ----- water and felines just don't mix.

*yawn* mmmmmmm......Zzzzzzzzzz......

[SeaBee]

SeaBee, rested and well fed, decides that, as there seem to be a lot of felines in this garden, it needs some distracting toys for the kittys to play with.

*Installs giant sctatching post for claws, multi-platform climbing area, complete with balls on string and fluffy prey shaped objects to chase and plants large bed of catnip.*

Don't worry, NL, I've made sure it's big enough for you to use. Do you like the fluffy zebra?

[Norlioness]

Wowza!!! SB. You outdid yourself. Thanks for the lovely playthings.

*hides fluffy zebra in the coolest shade for snuggling later when it's cooler*

So, what else is there to do in the Garden? Do you guys want a swing? a playpen? a sand pit (ooh lovely litter box)?

*puts on hard hat and supervises Dragons as they start to put together the swing set* Should be ready in a couple of hours.

[Bagpuss]

FHB wanders through the garden,head bowed in concentration.

FHB keeps having strange urges to be silly.(Probably as a result of her odd behaviour in TLW Thread!)

Finds a big pile of stuffed toys and decides to have a frolic!

*Frolics madly amid all the toys*

*Tears around the Garden scattering Mice in all directions*

*Finds a scratching Post and lets riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiippp with the Baggie claws*

*Flops down in a Knackered heap*

That was FUN!!!

Will give NL and DG-1 a hand in a little while............

[SeaBee]

HELP!!!

SeaBee wakes up from his doze, and realises that he forgot to put the BBQ out! The fat from the satay pork has caught, and the climbing frame is smouldering!

NL! FHB! Get off there now!

*Grabs mobile and calls for the fire brigade!*

[Norlioness]

Whoooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeee (Ok, lousy fire engine siren)

NL and the dragons after building the swing set had all flopped down for a snooze and now rudely awakened by SB shouting FIRE! and that horrid siren.

YIKES!!!! The fire is licking at the the newly built swing and getting closer to the dragons and FHB and mice. Dragons, FHB, Mice - wake up FIRE!!!!!!

The Dragons take a lazy look around and go Ahhh-hrumphhh and blow out the flames. Yep, these are special dragons - not only are they fire breathers, they can sneeze a fire out too

Yay!!!! for DG-1!!! FHB and MG-1 are all OK. NL's luxurious hair is still looking gorgeous *flicks hair*

But poor SB - he got drenched by the fire hose and some dragon snot. Ooops, sorry SB.

[Bagpuss]

DG-1 and NL SAVE THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FHB and MG-1 are soooooooooooo GRATEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FHB and the Mice scurry round the Garden,picking up all the smouldering bits and pieces................and eating Toast.............welllllllll,it'd be a shame to miss out on a snack,and there was quite a lot of bread left over..

FHB finds a very soggy SB (Eeew!),who's trying to get clean,and sends Charlie and Sammy to the shops for soap,towels and such ....and when they get back,they all leave SeeBee to his own devices while they join FHB in the clean-up op.......

As for NL,Charlie blushingly proffers a big Bouquet,and a Hershey Bar...(Poor Charlie,he's got a "Crush" again! *Sigh*)

[KokiriChild]

Hi! I just wandered in 'cause I could smell food... Or roasting cat, not too sure, anyway, is there any left?

[Bagpuss]

*Offers KokiriChild some Toast*

Not much else left after our "Flameout"!

Burnt Pork Satay and boiled Salad ? Anyone?
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww!!!!

*Pops out to the shops with the Mice!*
