Cyberstrology Year of the Giraffe - 2021

YEAR OF THE GIRAFFE

Personality of the Giraffe

The giraffe is a lofty creature, quite the philosopher.  They eat slowly, walk slowly and think think big thoughts slowly with their heads in the clouds.  They won't be rushed.

Famous Giraffes

 Zeraffa Giraffa 
Sophie the giraffe
 April in the Animal Adventure Park

Patron Saint of Giraffes

Apparently this is Madeleine Sophie Barat, who lived in Paris, France.  You can read about her here Wikipedia listing for Madeleine Barat

Letters from Afar - Merzouga, Morocco

I got another letter from Arntie Isabelle the other day!!!  Wonder where she is now?

She's in Morocco!!!

Oh wow!!  Lots of sand, spitting camels and sleeping in tents!!  Wow!!!

We got another two stamps as well!!  The sunflower one is from USA and the purple one is from Denmark!

 

New Treasure!!

We got given a new £2 coin in our change the other day!!!   It's a commemorative Marconi coin!  I don't have this one in my collection!

We think it might be a slight misprint as well!  You see those dots around the top of the Queen's head?  They're supposed to go all the way round but they don't - they disappear towards the bottom!!

Oh how exciting!!

 

We did Shopping!!

We had a package delivered the other day.  Andrea did On Line Shopping apparently.....

What did we get?!?!?!

Buttons???!

LOADS AND LOADS of buttons!!!

It's brilliant because we'd run out of big buttons and we got heaps of them now!!!

 

I found money!!!

Andrea had to pop out to Tesco's the other day and she found a 10p on the pavement (sidewalk) outside the house

MINE!!!!!!!

 

United Squeaks of Rodentia, Passport Office, Part Two

Right, well today we've got to prepare Cocoa Beanie's passport ready for use......

So first we stamped "passport" across the top.....

Then we drew the banner and the coat of squeaks.....

We wrote the Latin proverb in too!

Right ho, now we have to paint the coat of squeaks......

There we are!!!

Then we printed in the country name.... and just about squeaked the word "Squeaks" in!!

All we had to do then was put the official stamps on the front page ......

And viola!!!! All ready to go!!!

United Squeaks of Rodentia, Passport Office.

We got a letter in the mail today all the way from Canada!!!

It had a very pretty card in it!!

It's a message from Sandy Bear and Cocoa Beanie!  They were very pleased with the stash of stuff we sent for the geocaching and seriously happy with the knitted vest!!!

But now, Cocoa Beanie needs a very important document - his own passport!!!  

I checked the information provided and it all seemed present and correct...... so that means we can design the correct cover for it and then issue the correct rubber stamps to render the passport ready for use!!

Right...... we'd better get going then.....!
