It appear Uzzerr Muzzerr  – she ees not too ‘appy with me.
IMG_5736

Ah‘ practice my new ‘airdressing skills on Le Uncle.
IMG_5731

Personally ah think eet look avant-garde
IMG_5726IMG_5726_close

Muzzerr took one look and burst out laughing.
She ‘as no understanding of art.
IMG_5703

‘Mwha haaa haaaa’ she went,
‘Oh Lordy you just wait until Uzzerr Muzzerr gets down here and see’s that’.
IMG_5702

And she snigger away to ‘erself for le rest of le morning.
IMG_5704

Le Uncle quite like ‘is new look. Ah ‘ad also trimmed ‘is fringe.
IMG_5719

‘Well Tie me Kangaroo down Sport’ ‘e say,
after ‘e ‘ad a good look at ‘imself in le trough.
IMG_5712

‘You like eet Le Uncle?’
IMG_5720

‘Moite, oi look about ten years younger,
but Uzzerr Muzzerr ees going to be as mad as a snake een a sock’.
IMG_5709

Apparently that ees not a good thing.
IMG_5723

Then we ‘eard Uzzerr Muzzerr pull up een ‘er car.
IMG_5722

‘Zephyr’ yell Le Uncle, ‘Oi would go and hide eef oi was you Sport’.
IMG_5708

Ah carefully watch Uzzerr Muzzerr as she notice Le Uncle’s new ‘aircut.
IMG_5731

‘ZEPHYR!’ she yell, and ah realise now ees
le time to pretend to be some other ‘orze.
IMG_5727

‘Ah do not know where le ‘orze called Zephyr ees’ ah explain,
‘’e was ‘ere a while ago and then pooft – ‘e just dissappear’.
IMG_5735

But Uzzerr Muzzerr – she ees on to me and ah am een big trouble.
Obviously she too, ‘as no appreciation of le arts.
IMG_5733

‘Air Dressing

My career as a Gastronomic Advisor – eet is over before eet began.
IMG_2497

Despite ‘aving le compulsory French accent,
it appear no one want me to appreciate their noms before they do.|IMG_2498

Not even Muzzerr.
IMG_2503

Ah grab ‘er as she walk past. She can tell you.
IMG_2505

Go on Muzzerr, you tell everyone ‘ow you would not allow me, your only son,
to advance ‘is career in Nom Appreciation.
IMG_2478

Eet eez no good trying to get out of thees Muzzerr
IMG_2506

And so, ah now ah ‘ave to start another career.
IMG_2482

Ah ‘ad to think very ‘ard about what sort of career would suit me.
And then it struck me…
IMG_2493

Le ‘airdressing!
IMG_2429

All you a’ve to do is to fluff zis and twirl zat.
IMG_2430

Ah apply mah special Solution of Lord LubbaDuck Slobbeur to keep la style in place.
And exclaim regularly een French…. ‘OOOH LA LAAA’ ah exclaim.
IMG_2430

And Voila! Madame she ees ready for a night on le Barley with Le Uncle
IMG_2439

Of course Muzzerr ‘as ‘orrible tasting ’air, and eef ah were still a
Gastronomic Advisor ah would advise to avoid licking Muzzerr’s ‘air at all costs…
IMG_2504

‘owever,  le most important part of being a ‘airdresser’
ees not le ‘airstyle…
IMG_2494

‘Eet ees le gosseep’.
IMG_2507

‘So tell me Madame’…
IMG_2508

‘What ‘ave you ‘eard about le ‘airy little ‘orze
‘oo live een this paddock?’
IMG_2509

‘What are they saying about ‘im, hmmmm?’
IMG_2510

‘What ees that you say Madame?
That ‘e ees known to be le most ‘andsome, brave and clever little ‘orze in le ‘ole world?’
Ah love this job.
IMG_2513

A New Career

Today ah try out a new career.
IMG_2317

Being a wine connoisseur is not for me. I do not even like le wine.
IMG_2307

Muzzerr ees relieved about mah career change.
IMG_2271

She blame Le Uncle for pointing me in le wrong direction.
She blame Le Uncle for everything.
IMG_2275

‘I dunno’ Le Uncle said to me, ‘you have to find something you’re passionate about son’,
IMG_2330

So ah did.Ah am very passionate about le noms.
Especially Le Uncle’s Noms. Ah inhale le sweet scent of pure molasses.IMG_2346

You could not get a more passionate ‘orze when eet come to Le Uncle’s noms than ah am.Ah show you mah Passionate look.
IMG_2363

‘Le Uncle’ ah say, when ‘e look at me all grumpy face.
IMG_2350

‘You are le one ‘oo say, ah should find mah passion and ah ‘ave –
‘oo are you to take that away from me?’
Le Uncle growl something back, ‘is mouth was full,
ah cannot understand ‘im at le best of times.
IMG_2358

‘Hmmm?’ ah say. ‘Now let me ‘ave a taste, ah tell you ‘ow eet made –
for free – huh? huh?’.
IMG_2368

’Le Uncle, ah am a food connoisseur – you will not get a better offer –
just one mouthful’.
IMG_2374

But Le Uncle ‘e ees ‘aving none of eet. ‘Pees orf ya hairy leedle bludger ‘e say.
IMG_2382

‘Ah ‘ave no idea what that means, being french,
ah am more ‘ighly evolved than ‘e ees.
Ah also ‘ear that being french, anyone would be pleased to ‘ave me sample
their noms and tell them ‘ow eet was cooked and where eet came from.
IMG_2366

Of course ah ‘ave no clue about such stuff but that does not matteur
– a french accent open le doors to many careers they say.
For instance, being able to talk about food, wine, scuba diving, and art.
Ah ‘ave yet to try talking about le scuba diving or le art.
IMG_2367

So ah try again. Thees time I try something new.
IMG_2370

Ah stand and ah stare into space and will
mah stomach into making big rumbling noise.
IMG_2377

Grrrrrrrbrrrrrrr bbrrrrrrrurrrrrrp’ ah go.
IMG_2379

‘BRRRRRUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRP’
That one came rolling up from deep inside. I am quite proud of eet.
IMG_2383

Ah check Le Uncle. By le look of ‘im, ‘e must ‘ave
eaten something that not taste too good.
IMG_2384

‘ah can tell you thees much Le Uncle’ ah say. ‘What,’ ‘e growl, ‘what can you tell me’. ‘e ees spitting ‘is nom all over le place as ‘e talk and ah ‘ave no idea what to tell ‘im, ah ‘ad not thought that far a’ead.
Suddenly ah ‘ave a brilliant thought…IMG_2385

‘ah should be le one to eat your nom first, that way, eef ah die,
you will know not to eat eet’.
IMG_2386

‘Listen up, you hairy leedle Galah, oi don’t care eef you are as full
as a fairy’s phone book.
the only type of nom you’ll be getting out of me eef you don’t pees orf right now would be a hoof sandwich’.
IMG_2387

Of course, ‘e ees speaking een Australian and ah don’t understand a word of eet
IMG_2388

So ah say nothing but ah cleverly pretend ah know what ‘e just said.
Finally ah ‘eave a big sigh.
‘So I take eet that’s a no then’ ah say.
IMG_2391

Eet appear mah career as a gastronomic advisor ees over before eet even start.
