A few people have asked me some questions lately so I thought I would take this chance to answer them.
Several of you wanted to know if I got some ham to celebrate Australia Day with. I am very happy to report that mum went to the shop in the morning and brought home some ham just for me. It was very tasty!
There were no fireworks at home last night, but they had some in Sydney. That's far enough away from me that I wasn't bothered.
Stella asked if the rumour was true that I had been named Australian Cat of the Year. That's news to me but I'm happy to accept the title if they want to give it to me!

Australia Day
Today was the day in 1788 Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the First Fleet of eleven convict ships from Great Britain and the first governor of New South Wales, arrived at Sydney Cove. The raising of the Union Jack there symbolised British occupation of the eastern half of the continent claimed by Captain James Cook on 22 August in 1770. The purpose of the day is to unite all Australians through celebration. It's a good thing.

Ask Huffle
Welcome to the very first edition of Ask Huffle. I had some very good questions over the weekend and I will be answering them all over the next few days. This question from my best friend Zim of the Army of Four was not the first question I was asked, but it relates to today's date so I thought I better answer this one first.
Zim asked me: Australia Day is coming up. What are your plans to celebrate? Is it traditional to eat ham?
Well Zim, today is Australia Day and I am very sad to report a distinct lack of ham in the house. Mum even went shopping yesterday and everything. I plan to celebrate the rest of the day by having my mid morning nap, my late morning nap, my after-lunch nap, my afternoon nap, my pre-bedtime nap and then going to bed. I might squeeze in a play session with my mouses as well, but I can't promise that one.
I have heard that the tradition for Australia Day is to have a barbecue and drink some beer. But we don't have a barbecue, and only dad drinks beer in my house so we probably won't do either of those. The city puts on a fireworks show but I don't care for those either. You could say Australia Day is a lot like any other day in my life!
