[m i a o w] the cat

M and I have just hit a new low. There is no good TV tonight and we were transfixed by a packet of dark TimTams while sitting on the couch after dinner. I’m not sure whether these caused the madness that then ensued, or whether it would have occurred regardless, but what transpired was that M declared a competition in which we had to hold each others noses closed to see who could last the longest. Obviously he did it because I utterly rely on breathing through my nose at all times, and don’t like snorkling very much for this reason (and that when I first went snorkling with M I got hypothermia, but that’s beside the point). He made us count the seconds, but our voices became more and more muffled and ridiculous and I began to get the giggles, which resulted in me crying with laughter with M still grimly hanging on to my nose. Then his nose seemed to get squishier and kind of gross. And then all I could think of was my Small Brother arriving unexpectedly from his cosmopolitan life in London to find us, splayed on the couch, squeezing each others nose-holes closed and trying to damply count our way past seventy seconds. Holy crap - there is REALLY nothing going on in Hervey Bay. We are its star weirdo attraction - yet cloaked in a curious mystique, as nobody knows about us - the noseholding, couch cackling phenomenon. If only we could teach the cats to sell tickets…

i don’t know what to say….I’m trying to think of something witty to brush off the fact that the blood is gently rushing to my head as I contemplate sitting there in a few weeks watching you two with a mixture of morbid fascination and claustrophobic anxiety. Thank god for Mowâ€¦..and maybe the pigeonâ€¦..what have I done???!!!
