Orange is the New Car

You’ve been behind the same car for over twenty minutes now. Out here on these long country roads, that’s hardly unheard of – it’s not as though there are that many places to turn off, unless you live on one of these stations or are going to see a man about a sheep. Still, you […]

Beige Against the Machine

There’s a powerful charm to neutral colour schemes, which often goes unappreciated by more brash types than myself. In fact, it seems it’s a select few who can truly appreciate the regal radiance of a classic beige, or the subtlety and depth of perfectly mixed off-white. I’m forever having to fight colleagues on this, fending […]

Spreading Rumours

I can’t believe what Mrs Anderson has been saying about me! She has been spreading rumours that I love Tinkerbell, my new tabby cat, more than all the other cats in my apartment. Why it’s preposterous, I tell you. I love all of my little fuzz balls equally. But now everybody in this apartment block […]

One Step Closer

We’re working hard to make this a true community, rather than a group of people who live together and get along. That’s great, but we want to Catamount Club to be more! Obviously, things are moving apace and I’m proud of what we’ve been to accomplish so far. We have our regular group breakfasts, which […]

Everyone, To Canberra!

What I’m thinking is this: why don’t we take the Club…and move it to Canberra? Genius idea, right? I know that the logistics might be a little dicey, but I’m willing to cope with that if everyone else is. It’s just a building, and a few paw prints over the windows can be sacrificed if […]

Cooling for All

Seeing how everyone here runs around like headless chickens whenever the temperature gets above 22, I’m thinking we need to do something about it. I know, I know…some people here are elderly, and they need to be cool. Some people here are not elderly but wimps, and they also need to be cool. Me? I’m […]

Hoover that Hair

I like cats as much as the next person- and the next person along from me is number 56, Jamelia Spencer, a lady who loves cats so much she knits us all tea cosies from the shedding of her own, Moxy- but I still think there needs to be something done about the hair issue. […]

More Commercial Goodness

The equipment we have in the communal kitchen areas right now is nice, it really is. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with the quality, but it’s very much just stuff you’d find in your average home kitchen, and not quite as commercial as it should be. Trust me, I work in a real kitchen. […]

Could We Make Things More…Communal?

There’s nothing worse than being alone. Well, maybe…no, actually, all of the things I’m thinking of are offshoots of being by yourself, thus proving that it’s bad for your health. Being sick…alone. Going out to dinner…alone. Going on a long journey…alone. Ugh. No thank you. That’s why I came to live here in the first […]

Automotive Know-How Would be Nice

It can be said that we’re short on  mechanics. I suppose that’s not so bad, because we’re also pretty short on cars. The Club only has a limited amount of parking spaces, and all of them are currently occupied by people who are paying for the privilege. There’s a little bit of on-street parking, but […]
