Thats rubberized chicken. And I have some other piccies with levitating cats. Must be something strange about that camera indeed...
Bean Sidhe is my most grateful victim, because he is so cute and likes to do silly things. Hes the white-orange fluff-ball on the left.

What do you do to them?

One of mine just sits about all day running scared at incoming strangers while the others mad as a hatter...

Theyre actually marionnette puppet cats. Mario is standing on the table operating them.
Rather like the Madness Baggy Trousers video, no one can see the wires ... :wink:

Our street is being digged out because they have to place new tubes for a groundwater cleaning system. The huge excavator has struck something that said first crackle, then spark, and now smoulder. Strangely enough our electricity is still running.

We suspect that the technical school at the end of our street has no longer any power. Unfortunately for the students its still summer vacation.

Take a look outside - if you see a pair of smouldering boots covered in ash on the floor of the excavator cab - thatll be the remains of the operator :wink:

Karoline the smoldering boots will be outside the cab door because the operator jumped from the cab when he/she saw sparks then when they realised they wernt shocked to death they grab the hand rail on the excavator and thats when they blow!!!
and trust me you DONT want to see this, before during or after!!!!:sad:

Funny... they use a robot to flatten the soil in the pit. Its quite sturdy, check http://users.pandora.be/P3/digger.JPGhttp://users.pandora.be/P3/digger.JPG for the picture. Its the smaller yellow machine. The crane lifts it into the pit (and out again) and an operator with a transmitter drives it.
Mario kindly offered them the use of his workshop in case anything breaks down. I guess were just curious... And as usual it did surprise the workmen to find that kind of machines inside a house.
