How they've Grown!

Tres called me to ask if I could have Ian and Clive for a few days. The Old Blogs had all come down with flu and needed lots of rest.

I said no problem. Did she want me to come over and get them? Tres said she would send them over in a taxi. She didn't want me catching flu. Hmmm. Strange. It sounded like there was a party going on in the background- a children's party and she sounded a bit harrassed but I suppose that's not surprising considering the situation.

Clive (Miss Fluffy's daughter) and Ian (Creepy and Emma's boy) arrived shortly afterwards. I cant believe how much they've grown. It'll be fun to have them around now that my own two have flown the nest for Blog Street.

I chatted with them over lunch. They were disappointed that Francesca and Jupiter weren't around but otherwise...

They seem happy enough.

Happy 2005

The first Blog baby of 2005. Cheryl and Shane have a beautiful baby daughter named Sly. Congratulations!

Feels Good

SteveR studied the pod carefully and quickly concluded that it was a generation pod. He'd seen one just like it when he got himself abducted and returned pregnant with Colin. Infact, a pod just like this had been instrumental in Colin's conception.

It's a powerful life force that has generative and regenerative capabilities which explains why The Old Blogs have had such a feeing of well being. That's as much as he could tell them... he doesn't know of any harmful side effects but said to be cautious. It may have other effects that he isn't aware of, after all he is not an expert.

In the brief time he spent with the pod, SteveR too felt its strange power and resolved to return the next day to bask in its warm vibes.

The Old Blogs were pleased... they'd already made up their minds to make as much use of the pod as they could. How could something that feels so good be so wrong?



SteveR absorbs the power of the pod.

Special Powers?

Creepy called me last night to talk about the pod. She is convinced that it has special powers. Francesco, Cheryl and I are sceptical but who knows? Stranger things have happened in The Blog Neigbourhood.

Creepy said she was going round to ask SteveR to look at the pod- him having had experience of alien stuff. She wanted me along for moral support and I said okay, although I must admit that I've felt a bit bashful around SteveR ever since I offered to have his baby. It hasn't been mentioned since and I have the feeling he wasn't too keen. *Cringe*

Anyway, SteveR wasn't madly enthusiastic about the pod. He wouldn't listen to Creepy at all at first. Although he loves Colin to bits, his alien experience has made him rather cautious of dabbling with things otherworldly. Anything could happen.

I'm not sure what Creepy said to him but by the end of our visit he'd agreed to go take a look.

The Pod

Tres, Emma and Richard were trying to decide if a dip in the tub would help soothe their aching limbs when something very odd happened. They looked down to see a strange light shimmering by the edge of the tub. They watched, transfixed as a wierd object began to take form.

It gradually materialised before their eyes. It was...

... a pod. The trio immediately felt an overwhelming sense of well being.

The Blogs have got used to having the pod around. Their aches and pains are easing and they feel rejuvanated. Richard says he feels younger every day. Although they are still a little wary of effect of the pod, they aren't complaining too loudly. It just feels right...

Holiday Guest

We had a quiet Christmas, just the four of us. It didn't last...

Cheryl, an old friend from school arrived today rather unexpectedly. She seemed a little edgy so I let her settle in before pressing her for information.

We talked about old times and I eventually got round to asking her why she was *really* here. Cheryl confessed. She was in hiding from the blog press. She'd taken up with some pop star or other and had gotten herself pregnant. Shane something or other from some boy band apparently... not really my thing but perhaps you've heard of them.

Of course I told her she and her beau were welcome to stay... it's open house at The Sty and Francesca and Jupiter will be moving to Blog Street very soon.
