Norah Has A Sleepover

Part XI of The Battys.

Against my better judgement, I gave in to Norah's whine about not liking sleeping alone.  

Norah said she feels lonely by herself, but I had to tell her straight, I was not getting into bed with her.  All that plastic and my hormones (or lack of), definitely not a good mix!  I chose to ignore the pleading look she shot Alan, and he knew better than to give in to her batting eyelashes.  Finally I told her to just invite Little Red and Blondie over.  Ever feel like you have been manipulated?

Norah Finds Her Groove

Part XI of The Battys.

I keep getting these messages asking to see my paintings.  Well the truth is, I haven't had a chance to work in the studio because it got taken over by the Battys.

It all started when Norah, after seeing me painting, decided that she too would have a go.  She got out her paper, paints and textbook and off she started.

The Elevator Bar on 5

Part X of The Battys

Never let it be said that Alan passes up an opportunity to make some money.  During the flood crisis in Bangkok, Alan saw a niche opening up, when the communal bar from our condo was brought upstairs away from the possible flood danger, and surprise surprise, ended up outside our door, next to the elevators.  Knowing that expats would keep on drinking to the bitter end, he saw it as a way for them to keep their feet dry at the same time.  He therefore opened a bar in the hall outside of our apartment, called The Elevator Bar on 5.

The Elevator Bar on 5 opened yesterday.  To celebrate the grand opening. Alan had his hair coloured and permed for the occasion.  He said David Beckham used him as his style guru, and he was pretty sure this look would catch on with David.

John Falls For Norah's Dubious Charms

Part IX of The Battys

We have had some more trouble with Norah over the last week.  As you know, our friends came to stay with us, and almost immediately, it became clear that John and Norah liked each other.  Now under normal circumstances that would have been okay, but John is a married man.

You can see that Norah made the first move.  Just look at the shameless way she got all cosy with John.  Mind you, dressed like that, it is no wonder that he fell for her dubious charms.

Sam and Ben go Batty over Norah!

Part VIII of The Battys
I have noticed that Norah has a strange effect over men, no matter what their age.  She is like a spider pulling them into her web.

Sam is a kind boy, who asked Norah to sit next to him at dinner.  Sam thought that Norah wanted his company, but as usual, she was out for what she could get.

Isn't it pathetic the way Norah is pleading with Sam for some of his dinner.  Just look at the way she is badgering the poor lad, and she has her own full plate anyway.

Hannah Gives Norah A Tough Time

Part VII of The Battys.
After all the problems I have had with Blondie and Little Red recently, it was nice to see them come over to help prepare for the arrival of the Chalmers gang.

Is My Husband Cheating On Me?

Part VI of The Battys
I was asked why the Battys left our apartment, and why only Blondie and Little Red. It pains me to say it, but I think Alan may have preferred them over me.  In fact, I think there may have been a bit of fun and games going on when I wasn't around.

The first clue that all was not as it should be, was that Blondie and especially Little Red, were always preening just before Alan went to work, or was about to come home.

Who's Cooking Tonight?

Part V of The Battys
Oh boy.  The Batty's came back today to cook a special meal for us.  I think Alan must have arranged it when he heard we were going to have my home made pizza for dinner.  I really don't understand why he doesn't like it.  He has banned me from making pizza (no word of a lie) saying that even Kathi's teach-in did nothing to improve the brick-hard remnants that emerge from the oven!  You have to admit that is harsh.

 Blondie was at the stove straight away.   Just look at her eager little face.

New Home

Part II of The Battys
I just got word from Jill that Blondie and Little Red have made it to their new home.

The Battys Have Gone!

Part I of The Battys
Do any of you remember my visitors the Battys?  They came in late July and NEVER LEFT.  I don't think they had ever heard the old adage about visitors, fish and smelling after a few days.  Anyway, two of them left yesterday, and you'll be pleased to know that your favourite correspondent was there to record it all.
Norah, Little Red and Blondie bathed before leaving for their new home.

Blondie always spends forever in the shower, which is really irritating.
