Re: Snap crackle and pop
Hi Folks yes Lilith we’re in Qld but the cyclone up North. We have organised fireworks eg Sydney Harbour Bridge, we have barges on the Brisbane River. Some rebels manage to get their hands on a few loose ‘bangers’. Alas I couldn’t get into NY as upset about Freddie. Last night watched the “Military ...

Re: Is my cat beautiful?
Your Shini has similar coloured eyes to my Pebbles .. an oriental-x. Not blue or green, turquoise like. A Japanese vet told me that Asians with blood type B result in similar coloured eyes. Think she’s beautiful. Good luck. Vivian & the Famous Five from Oz.

Hi Andy glad you were proactive with enquiring about Paul. Strangevthe owner hasn’t contacted you. And I’ve done hasty things when I’ve had a couple of vinos. Hoping there’s news of Paul soon.

Hi Andy in times like this my suggestion is to go with what “feels right” ie take notice of your inner voice or gut instinct. When I’ve been in situations & have gone against my gut instinct it’s gone pear shaped. On that note it wouldn’t be friendly if the owner took offence to your enquiry. Sh...
