Weather on the way

[rolanni]

Quiet day here at the Cat Farm, segueing into a quiet evening.

Party animals that they are, the Weatherbeans have called a Blizzard Watch from Sunday evening through Monday afternoon with projected accumulations of 12 inches or more.  This would actually be Perfectly Fine by me, though I forgot to buy cocoa during any of our numerous recent trips to the grocery store.  Unfortunately, we  have someplace to be Monday, mid-morning.  On the gripping hand, if there’s 12 inches of snow between everyone in Central Maine and the ground, I’m guessing they’ll reschedule.

I hope everyone had a pleasant and relaxing Saturday of whichever flavor you like, and that you remembered to tell someone you love how much they mean to you.

“Your pardon, luthia,” Vylet gasped. “The gadje has a number of breaths left in him. Udari thinks — eight.”

The odd thing is, despite having no idea who any of these people are, what a gadje is, or why the number of remaining breaths matter...

... this is by far the most intriguing snippet yet!

I wonder how many people will catch the reference to The Gripping Hand...Ellen

Would that be the more clingy cousin of Judge Learned Hand ? If not, there must be Motie's around here somewhere to influence the language like that.

Da, which hints at gypsies in the background, eh? Now that's intriguing!

New Characters

George progresses with new characters. Alien gypsies? Probably a blizzard would not be an easy situation but might be good for George.

Christmas soon over. Onwards to New Years. Lots happening here. Weather is now good. Hold your breath cause it could change. A little colder so put slightly heavier T shirts and coats on the three who wear clothes. Gus does not thank you. He's got that heavy Chinese fur coat.

All the best,
C. and the furry Gang
