The Cat weather forecast


Namelesss Stray:  Big waves but not as windy as they said on the telly.

 NS: Do you want to see my scar?

 NS: Well? Impressive, isn't it?

Mabel: What's this? You showed them your scar?

Mabel: You're fired. I can't be understudied by a cat with no sense of decorum.

Mabel: I don't much care to get my fur wet but duty calls. There will be big surf, lots of sunshine and not too much wind.

Mabel: And now my breakfast. The stray riff raff are fed out in the yard but I have my meals on the windowsill. There's nothing quite like a well set windowsill to enhance an otherwise ordinary meal.

And now Mabel's weather forecast.



Nameless Stray: I'm a celebrity - get me out of here!

Mabel:  Hahahahahahaha. I smell vetinary surgery. They're coming to take you away, ha ha, hee hee, ho ho. Hahahaha. That's Napoleon XIV from way back in 1966.


RS Blogger:You're too young to remember 1966.

Mabel: Oh no I'm not. In 1966 I was a very cool crab on Rossnowlagh beach.  That was about 7 lives ago when the only surfboard ever seen on Rossnowlagh beach was when Kevin Cavey checked us out and Napoleon XIV's They're coming to take you away was the big hit of the summer. Ha ha hee hee ho ho.

Mabel's weather forecast.




RSBlogger: Where's Mabel?

Nameless Stray: She's indisposed. She said I can do the weather forecast today.

RSB:  What do you mean indisposed?

NS: Something about an all Ireland, she said. Explains where she's been for the last week.

RSB: So what's the weather going to be?

NS: Am I allowed to use the R word?

RSB: No.

NS: Truthy forecast, so?

RSB: Exactly.

NS: Okay. So I'm looking West.

NS: Now I'm looking east. That's where the breeze is coming from.

NS: And there's north. Nothing much happening there. 2 surfers waiting for a set . . .

. . .now looking south . . .

s

NS: And eating grass - for medicinal reasons, it prevents hairball - absolutely nothing to do with the R word.

RSB: So what's the forecast?

NS: The truthy forecast is that there's a huge hangover over Donegal this morning. Many businesses may have to remain closed due to non-appearance of staff. That's why the sky is grey and the whole county looking as if it has a bad headache but tonight the Sam Magure will cross through Pettigo into Donegal and the hills and mountains will be illumined with bonfires and Donegal hearts will be filled with a transcendent joy brighter even than that sunny day in Lanzerote when Senegal met Donegal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAjQrnImT_k

RSB: Mabel's going to be so sorry she missed doing this forecast.

NS: Yup.
