What is Real?

"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."

"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

Well Hello Lurkers 2009 Edition

I was trawling through old blog posts last night and discovered that the post that got the most comments ever was Hello Lurkers exactly one year ago today.

Since an entire year has past, me and Izzy are overdue for some bloggy love.

If you read this site and have never or rarely commented, today is your special day. Readers who regularly comment are welcome as always.

If you can't think of anything to say, answer the following question : What is your rare and special talent?

Izzy says her rare and special talent is cat blogging. Mine is having gigantic calf muscles I've never trained the desire to constantly seek knowledge and truth. What is yours?

Fern Star

Brilliant day today that started with a gym date with Miss Fern who looks amazing. We did a less than exciting spin class and then headed to the pub.

Fern is just as sweet in person as she appears on her blog. She told me all her tips and tricks and shared some of the secret to her gorgeous body.

It was lovely to spend some time with someone who gets all this competition madness. It was especially nice not to be the only one ordering salad instead of chips and leaving the bread.

She has almost convinced me to compete again next year. She says it gets easier ... we shall see.

ANB Miss Physique Australian Champion is ...

... going to be my training partner.
Can you hear me screaming with joy!!!
OH MY GOD ... I am not worthy!
Holy feckin duck shite ... I am so HAPPY and excited.
Thanks Fern - you have no idea what this means to me xxx
