They are not things. They are not objects. Neither are they human. Yet they mourn. They love. They dance. They suffer.

Adventures With Sydney

kanga: With kofi in hand, And meteors bland, Kanga struck up the band, For Sydney did land. 
We welcome her back, Soggy winged it's a fact, Chatters on the right track, With excitement, no lack.


Syd arrived looking wet & went into the Kastle 2:48am. She bolted out approx. 3:27 upon hearing foxes & Mel screeching. She went back in 3:31 am OBT and has been with us ever since.
So nice to see her this morning. 
Welcome home Sydney!
