Nose Hair Cello Day

Today Ogd ‘borrowed’ some of Dodo’s nose hairs to make a cello, once he had stopped shouting because of the pain and his eyes had stopped watering, Dodo returned the favour by ‘borrowing some of Ogds tender nether feathers to make a bottom feather flute.

Neither ‘instrument’ sounded very good (or half as loud as the sounds made when they where being made!) but its the making that counted!

Today is dedicated to St Pherp the Nervous, who is also the patron of eye watering and smells for the hard of breathing.

August 6th

Today Dodo found Ogd to ask him some fashion advice, initially Ogd was reluctant to speak to Dodo as he had been offended by Dodo calling him a friend, luckily no on else was around so Ogd let it go.

After much thinking Ogd suggested red for Dodo’s new colour, and even offered to peck him until he was red all over! Dodo said he would think about it, but thought it would be a bit to much people might think he was a bit flash. Ogd was a bit disappointed

August 4th

Hard Word Day

Dodo had decided to do something important today, but had got stuck on the important bit, Ogd has suggested he try a dictionary.

Dodo had tried a dictionary before but had not been that impressed, it reminded him of an old dead thing he had once eaten, a bit hard on the outside and a bit bland in the middle.Luckily for Dodo it has been a pocket dictionary and the rest of the pocket had been quite interesting!

Today is dedicated to St Niggle who is also the patron of meaningless statistics, personality questionnaires and magazine horoscopes.

Wormy Poo Day

Dodo likes to check his droppings in case anything has ‘escaped’ if it has he puts it back.

Dodo never feels alone, with everything living on him and everything living in him, even if the voices in his head tell him otherwise! His imaginary friends have yet to comment, though Ogd and the others would probably agree with the voices and say he has no friends, so he doesn’t ask them.

no one has asked the worms, but i imagine even they have standards!

Honk with Vigour Day

Today Dodo discovered he was an instrument, though thank fully not in the same way that Didi discovered she was a house (which is a whole other story…!) Dodo was just sitting around and not eating (but thinking about eating!) when Flappy fell on him after jumping off a nearby tombstone to prove to Ogd he could fly.

Having proved his point juts after jumping, Flappy decided to have a fall and landed on Dodo’s back.
Dodo gave an almighty honk as all the air in him escaped (some of it had almost given of hope of ever being released!) .

“Honk! Dodo!” said Dodo in breathless excitement

“Doily!” said Ogd, still unconvinced by Flappy’s ‘flying’ and regretting standing so close to Dodo as his Honk had a funny smell and left his skin itchy!

Hollowed Out Day

Dodo forgot to eat today, weak and delerious the others dropped him face down onto some food just to stop him from moaning.When he recovered Dodo was unable to explain how he forgot to eat, especially as he did very little else.Ogd has started taking bets on Dodo forgeting to breath next, Dodo just started turning blue, though might have been because he hadn’t eaten an airhole yet

June 6th

No lesson Day

Today Didi thought it would be a good idea to try and teach Dodo to read, that way she could leave little notes around for him.

“Doily!” said Ogd, touched by the obviously close feelings Didi had for her brother.

“Didi!” said Didi clarifying exactly how she felt about her brother, and how she really just wanted a way to say ‘Go away!’ without actually having to see him.

Unfortunately Didi remembered she couldn’t read either so she just threw something at Dodo when she saw him next.

And the moral of the day…sometimes knowledge only works if you all have it, the advantage is knowing how to use it.

Warm Trickle Day

Today Dodo was relaxing with Dead Vole and Didi.Ogd and Flappy were still asleep after being up all night with the ball, and pushing each other off it.

Dodo was happy and relaxed, so much so he wet himself and was asked to leave.Sometimes you can be just too relaxed with others, and warming others feet with your last drink is rarely taken as a compliment!

May 26th

Fur and Feathers Day

Trying to ignores Dodo’s outfit and avoid its smell, Ogd decided to come as a sheep!

Looking around the graveyard Ogd managed to find old curly wig left over from their last ball which he wrapped around himself to make a coat. Next he blacked his head and feet with soot and for hooves he stole two hooves from the field next to the graveyard (well, from a sleeping sheep in the field!) and hollowed them out to make boots, he would have had four but he couldn’t get the other two to stick on his wings, and it looked silly!

Despite his impressive outfit, Ogds attempts at ‘Baaa’ing still sounded like Doily , though now said with a stutter!

May 23rd

Cold Clammy Day

Small hands came down and stroked his clean and shiny fur, washing off the last of the scented water and sweet bubbles.He sighed and felt the warmth of her body as she hugged him close and kissed his nose before settling him down between her legs while she combed and plaited his fur ….

Dodo screamed again and was woken by a clod of mud thrown by Flappy and Ogd (it was a really big lump!) sick of him lying there and moaning.

“Dodo!” said Dodo as he tried to explain his nightmare before falling asleep again, happily covered in his usual filth, fresh mud and the clammy sweat from his horrible dream!
