And Elvis’ internal alarm clock goes, “Ding!” (Usually, that means it’s time for breakfast, but today . . . well, it’s still time for breakfast . . . but then . . . It’s Move In Time!)
It’s the great day! Elvis is awake, dressed, has coffee made, and is ready for duty. Goldie is seizing a chance to pounce on Lupin. O Z still hasn’t caught up with who is who.
And The Things in the unexplored rooms are stirring.
I’m gonna need a recalibration of who’s living where now and who’s gonna be living somewhere else tomorrow and how we got here and… and… I thought Sir Figaro and Tabitha lived upstairs and Tommy and Sophie lived in another house? (OMC! I just realized! Am I reading “downstairs” as an adverb instead of a noun?) And in the meantime, whatever happened to the Robber Mice!? I don’t think we’ve seen them again since they last reported from the addition before Halloween! Did they get sucked into the same wormhole that Babba Mouse teleported through to get to the addition to save the fugitives and Beatrix? And speaking of the addition, who’s gonna live there? (With the ghosties and MIA Robber Mice?) and on what floors? And how did Beatrix somehow find the fugitives in the “upstairs” part of the addition only to have Babba Mouse say she didn’t know that part of the addition at all and lead them (Gandalf style!) downstairs to the “side of the house where there are people who can help you”? How did Beatrix get into an upstairs part of the addition to find the fugitives seemingly not anywhere near the door the “Woman” busted open? And why was the addition all sealed up in in the first place with sheets placed over the furniture like they were waiting for someone to return??? Help! I’ve lost the thread! “Recalculating!”
Maat-Tilda: Thank you for the lovely breakfast, Floofnet.
Floofnet: And thank you for the lovely gift.
Tabith-Isis: And now on to the palace.
Sometime Later at the Palace
Louie-Nour: Welcome to the Royal Palace of Afar! What brings my friends here?
Sophititi: We’re looking for found objects to make a sculpture to celebrate the arrival of Iggy Shipwright and Ora Zed.
Louie: You should be able to find the Afar Artisans in their studio. I know Adobe Style and Iron Glove have been there working.
Vann: Kara and I would like to go to the barn and visit with Humphrey and Lauren if they’re in.
Louie: They should be there.
At the Artisan’s Studio
Adobe Style: It’s good to see all of you. What sort of objects are you looking for?
Soph: We’re looking for things to celebrate things associated with Iggy and Ora Z. Maybe Iggy’s days as a seafarer, and Ora’s work in the kitchen and with Lupinium.
Iron Glove: Here’s a replica model anchor I made with recycled metal. They told me to weigh anchor. It’s 1.5 Kilos.
Adobe Style: And I’ve got some fabric that will make a great climbing and thwumping curtain.
Elvis, tell me you aren’t going to give Lupin caffeinated coffee! And what about Iggy and Ora Z? You aren’t going to give them coffee at all, are you? Please tell me you aren’t!
And the clock reads 12:01. That would make Elvis technically correct, the best kind of correct. My favorite in this is Puck’s expression in the final panel.
(With absolutely no apologies to anyone, because the theme song to that Winnie the Pooh TV show has been living rent-free in my head for decades and now I get to inflict it on all of you. Bwahahahahaha!)
Please keep Reilly, my profile pic, in your thoughts and prayers. He is near the end of his time here. I’m having difficulty writing this. We are taking him in today and saying goodbye. His momma is my friend, she needs comfort, I’m just there for moral support.
Our fluffy white cat boy Olaf could use a few purrs of healing today. We took him to the vet after a recurrence of the bladder problem he had over the Christmas holiday. This time they did more tests and he has the dreaded UTI with crystals in the urine…ouch! I am on my way to bring him home with meds. Thankfully the meds will be transdermal which is sooooo much easier than trying to pill him. Thanks Orb!
Just saw on IG that IRL Ms Sophie, who is 17, had a mystery illness and they thought they were going to lose her, but she seems to be recovering. There is a video of her playing. Look for the account for Admiral Thomas Whiskerstache.. sorry I tried to figure out how to copy it but was not successful.
Surprised that’s only coming from Ora Z. Did sdomeone explain to Iggy who Tommy and Sophie are already or does he watch the BCN news rreports from Tommy?
LOL! I got sent back in time due to a new like to an old post. It was the one that showed one of the first team meetings in the break room. I had posted that the gang was all there, but somebody pointed out Baba was missing. I replied, “Well, that’s a long trek for Baba. And she’s probably not all that into news reporting.”
We didn’t know then that Baba was one of the reports for RCO before it was “not quite live.” I love how Georgia constantly surprises us!

When it’s cold outside
They’ll have the month of May

What will make them feel this way?
Tommy, Tommy, Tommy
Talkin’ ’bout Tommy
Who now?
She’s got so much talent
And a fragile soul
Makes a masterpiece
From used up toilet rolls
Well, I guess you’d say
Who’s that moving in today?
Sophie, Sophie, Sophie
