Cat Panda and Woo Leave The Shire

It has been a traumatic departure from the Shire. The Princess farewelled the sisters Cat and Woo with a perfunctory wave of her regal hand. Cat and Woo had worked very hard to win the  favour of the princess. Yet her heart was captured by the Panda. At his leaving she heaved great swollen tears of sorrow from the bottom of her heart, her lungs burst out a high pitched scream at the loss of her Panda. The Princess was unconsolable left in her gardeners cottage without the Panda to fuss and talk to her. No Panda to read her stories or play games like" this little piggy went to market" or "round and round the garden". No Panda to take her into the garden to pick berries or vegetables to chew on. It took a full half hour after seeing Panda off at the station for her to be distractedand forget him completely. Panda too was sad to leave the princess.

Cat was just happy to be back on the top of the pecking order once more. Cat and Panda had plans to meet with Bob and Marilyn in London. They arranged to meet in Trafalgar Square.

Trafalgar Square

 Cat and Panda were a little late due to the confusion that followed when they asked a man for directions. He seemed quite confident and while a little hard to understand Cat and Panda followed his instructions. They soon discovered they were either heading back to where they had come from or were suffering a very dangerous case of de jevu on the tube.As they arrived a second time at Waterloo they relaised the error of trusting locals for directions.

Cat fumed for it was just the sort of thing she would have done to an unsuspecting tourist and now the laugh was on her. Lucky for the man who gave the information he was no where in sight when they returned to Euston Station. Cat kept thinking she was in the middle of a Monolpy Game. Luckily a strike by the train drivers meant that the adventureres would have to use London Cabs to get around.

Bob and Marilyn took Cat and Panda to the National Art Gallery for lunch and then the friends talked and talked and talked themselves dry. They walked around the gallery until there before Cats eyes was the orignial Van Gogh Sunflowers. Cat sat and stared. The moment was impossible to recaputre. Cat just sat and purred. Magic.
Panda was not impressed.
Six hours flew by and the friends had to say goodbye. Tears were shed. It had been twenty years since their last cup of tea and a chat together.

Cat has had all manner of problems finding web connections wiping photos from her camera and now finding that the spell check no longer "parley vous anglaise". Cat stopped, took a long deep breath and sighed "Merde".
