As we are not living in an African jungle, Tarzan needed some warmer clothes for the wintertime.

Jippo heard of the Pied Piper of Hamelin and is trying to use a birch bark horn to persuade the rats to jump through the hoop. The rats do not seem to be interested, though...

Borgy needs to be regularly recharged.

The knees of the SP sized Lati Yellows have never held a straight position very well, and it has only got worse with time. Sueding has helped some, but not totally solved the problem. I finally decided to do them some knee surgery. I drilled two tiny holes to the top of the knee pieces and inserted pieces of wooden sticks that protrude just slightly. The tiny knobs prevent the knees from snapping into the bent position spontaneously, but don't prevent movement if the leg is pulled downward just slightly. I did the same operation to all my SP sized Lati Yellows (Sampo, Pilvi, Deimos and Fomalhaut). Now they all can stand nicely though only Pilvi was completely restrung. The other three are not as floppy yet, so their restringing can wait a bit.

I've had Pilvi since 2007, and by now her stringing had got too loose so it was getting hard to make her stand or hold other positions well. I did her knee surgery to stabilize her knees, but that was not enough, so I restrung her completely. Now she can hold any position and is strong enough to support her dolly on one hand!

Domes Bond: "What is this? According to my map there should be a beach and a holiday hotel right here!" Pongo: "I thought this was supposed to be a bird watching holiday - and sleeping in a tent." Domes Bond: "I meant watching pretty ladies in swimsuits on a beach. And sleeping in a fancy hotel." Pongo: "Well, maybe you should have used GPS instead of an old pirate map..."

It's a tiny one!

Pup: How can you guys eat ice cream in November? Isn't it way too cold? Rastaban: "This week's theme is Dairy. And ice cream is the best dairy product you can get." Pup: "The theme is Diary, not Dairy! You two are completely batty!" Icy: "Why, thank you!"

I think you'd better beware of these guys...

The girls are learning to knit pot holders.

If your wings are short it's good to be friends with a hippogriff who can give you a ride.

Naks: "Come and see the mighty King Kong! Fee only one button per head!" Niks: "Don't worry! It's perfectly safe! He's in chains!" Candy: "I must get a photo of King Kong! I'll definitely win the Pulizer prize for this!"

Pyry was kind enough to let Usva try his rocking horse.

Beware of the awakening powers of darkness!

Domes Bond: "Do you come here often?"

Pup is busy drawing pictures on the blackboard. Ymir and Brimir are busy tossing crumpled paper balls into the waste basket (their aim does not appear to be very good). Tarzan has found that one of his cousins has sneaked to the class with him. It is rather obvious that there is no teacher in the class.
