< Can't work out why SM is looking so sad, concludes it must be because CR has just appropriated the last pair clean socks for his weird sculpture.>


<Worries that nobody seems to have cleaned under the mat, behind the radiators or the bottom of the sink plug for a very long time. Remembers that we haven't seen hide nor hair of OB for some while now so decides it is probably quite safe to put the housekeeping off for a bit longer. Settles back to more cake.>

<finish sock rope knotted ladder>

<Ties end around legs of prostrate cake filled geg>

<ponders possible options of getting ladder over fence for unrescue attempt>

Rummage in undergrowth. Find closest pie thrown by cannibal rabbit and marked "s" for Stonesthrow(within). Eat. Throw crust back over fence. Peep through keyhole to see what's occurring. Spot Tateless sock sculpture. Tasteless!!

<wonders why the end of the sock sculpture is getting wet, like someone is chewing it. perhaps someone is trying to get nourishment from it, like Ford Prefect's towel.>

<sees cake, turns a bit green. rather tired of birthday cake.>

<scrambles about looking for the source of cinnamon. fails in attempt. sighs.>

<hears something rummaging in the undergrowth outside the treehouse. worries.>

<is hit by falling pie crust>

<tries to remember if Treehouse weather forecast predicted showers of pie crust>

<opens umbrella>

<wonders if that should be crumbrella>

<Frets over VM's refusal to eat cake. Offers increasingly delicious cakes in the the hope of tempting her.>

<Initially irritated by lugging CR's hideous sculpture around, now realise its an excellent way of cleaning the Treehouse without too much effort. Not entirely sure about the cleaning product that seems to have dampened the end, but it's excellent at removing varnish.>

<Scowls a "you'll have someones eye out with that' scowl at Marit in the hope of averting the inevitable "umbrella indoors" incident.>

<is thankful that geg pointed out the dangers of (cr)umbrellas>

<pads all pointy parts of (cr)umbrella with marsmallows>

<wonders if there is a fireplace in the Treehouse and hopes someone will get the same idea and point out location of fireplace>

looks for 'Automatic pie minus crust projector' in Acme catalogue

Finds only 'Automatic pie contents ejector'

<is awakened from hibernation by alarm on industrial baking oven>

<removes and dissects industrial sized pie>

<marks some with "S" for "Section," some with S" for "Segment," some with "S" for "Sample," and some with "S" for "Slice.">

<consumes more Stumpy Scrumpy, resumes hibernation.>

<Wonders exactly which industry industrial sized pie was intended for as it definitely seems to be shrinking.>

<Cleans MC with Sock soggy sock sculpture>

< Looks at general absurdity of objects in Treehouse and remembers its probably time for the annual sculpture competition. Heads off to gallery for entry form.>

<follows geg to get away from all the cake>

< Pops into gallery cafe for coffee and cake, thoughtfully buys very large slice of carrot cake for VM who seems to be in the vicinity.>

<wonders if VM might prefer a nice cheesecake>

<has only cold tea in the house but finds a pot of hot & spicy cocoa>

<checks on clothes dryer>

<suggests that shrinking industry is de rigueur

< Is pleased that CR has found a rigger in the treehouse as some of this year's sculpture competition entries look decidedly unstable.>

< Wishes he'd found an A rigger - but supposes Shrinking will do his (? bit hard to tell in this light) best>.

<gives up on avoiding cake, hopes carrot cake isn't fattening>

<heads back to fireplace to see if Marit is the sort to share toasted marshmallows>

<wonders why Z42 is putting checks on the dryer, maybe it's part of some warranty ritual> <shrugs>

<settles back with hot cocoa and cake to watch CR climb over sculpture like a monkey, tying it down with enthusiasm> <giggles>

<slowly spins (cr)umbrella near fireplace>

<sees that marshmallows have turned light brown and bigger>

<notices that pie crust shower seems to have stopped>

<closes umbrella and offers marshmallows to VM and others nearby>

<eats some marshmallows herself>

<Wonders if CR is breaking any rules by entering an animated sculpture.>
