Venturing Out.

Having put them on for the first time in a good, long while, Turtle realised that his shoes were made almost entirely of snarky comments...

On The Road Again

And in the snow the creature met a passing tortoise, whose voice though full of festive song, had a mind consumed only with the dancing of tea leaves and dunking of biscuits.

It Seems to be...

that Turtle's Christmas tree is a little lacking.

Any ideas?

Housework

Whilst hoovering under his plant pots, Turtle came across a spectre of himself.

He wasn't too worried though. He knew it couldn't be real when he observed it putting on a pot of tea without any regard for the whereabouts of his tea cosy.

Counting Sheep

It was only as a consequence of Turtle's recent insomnia that he was now sat across the table from Graham in an all-night Karaoke bar. But, no matter how Graham bargained with him , Turtle was not getting up and singing the theme from Columbo.

Up, Over and Around

As Turtle leapt clean over it's surface, he felt for a second as if he were soaring majestically in orbit of the Moon.

Just like a tortoise-shaped rocket, he thought...

Cold, Crisp Carrot-Catching

As he was bounding away from the fridge, his newly conquered bag of carrots dragging along the floor beside him, Harry Rabbit felt a pang of guilt in the pit of his stomach.

Never mind, he thought, that feeling would surely pass after a quick nibble or two.

This is Harry, a one year old Giant Continental rabbit, who is known for his acts of mischief; including kitchen-top dancing, shoe-nibbling and extreme acts of food theft.

Do Tortoises Dream of Electric Sheep?

Sitting on the grass in the fading sunlight, Turtle heard the rattle of the sheep tumbling over the hills in the distance. Once before Turtle had been infected with their contagious whimsy and had joined in with all the bouncing, jumping and frolicking, only to find that tortoises were not made for the spritely acrobatics of electric sheep.

Just as well really since all that wire wool interfered with Turtle's mobile phone signal anyway.

In finding this super sheep robot, Turtle also found Robot a Day, frankly it's genius. Go look.

B is for Bandit...

Sometimes, when he's taking a snooze in a nice, comfy bed, Bandit dreams of having longer legs.

He reaches the highest placed snacks, towers over all his friends and is the perfect height for plenty of face-licking.

Meet the real Bandit here.

Office Wars; The Beginning

He sat across the desk in complete silence, responding to Turtle's questions with a series of growing smiles, each a few degrees warmer than the last.
Not to be perturbed by Turtle's unique interrogative style, he sat comfortably in his chair and watched as the tortoise began to cast his questions in the veil of song.
He resisted the lure of a craftily worded sea shanty, withstood the power of an eighties-style rock ballad and even somewhat enjoyed Turtle's soft jazz stylings.
But, although the tortoise had tried with all his might to glean just a sliver of information, it was not to be.
It seems Turtle would never know who'd supped the last of the office milk.

A Tortoise Filled Snack

And, with the final mouthful of rice, the curtain of darkness lifted from Turtle's face and the light of the outside world broke through.
Although a tasty experience, being the filling in an onigiri left Turtle with little time (or space) to get anything done.

Needless to say, Turtle was quite ready for a brew.
