Animal of the Day - Brown Antechinus

Normally forgotten at all social functions of any worth, Harlowe's attendance at the Julytime Bash was a special point this year. As word of Mallory's party spread, Auntie Clerq grew possessive of those on her traditional guest list. Particularly those she often snubbed.

As such, the eager Harlowe was the last person to receive their invitation to the Julytime Bash. He was determined to bring the most delicious pasta salad he could make, in order to cheer up his newly divorced friend Chan, who would be attending.

Gary found himself in the unenviable position of being invited to both Auntie Clerq's Julytime Bash and Mallory's Julybash Time. He did not like to want to get caught in the middle, so it would probably end up spending another night on the branch, instead. And that was just fine with Gary.

Ms. LePlume had long enjoyed her job as Social Secretary to Auntie Clerq, but this year she was taking particular relish in the guest list. Only the most interesting and most elite. Artists, intellectuals, litterati, glitteratti, nobility, industrialists, politicians, surgeons, professional athletes and the most influencial feather stylists.

Some called her species the "poverty pig", but one would be well-advised to avoid such a phrase in front of Louise.

And only if Reggie was not attending.
