The waters were starting to recede rapidly and now we'd have a few days of mosquito hell. I could see that we'd be needing some rapid brewing of Pyrethrin in the Labia.
The chemical companies would be selling a whole heap of toxic crud to Brisbane City Council and all the businesses in town and the last thing I wanted was any of that near us or the villagers. Pyrethrin might not be as effective but it doesn't hurt the environment either.
I went out and started to get stuff up out of the remaining floodwaters and put them on the shelves. I cleaned out some glassware and got the still working again. Lucky Princess had only just finished a harvest of plants to extract the pyrethrin from. They were drying in the roof of the Tree House and they would be ready by now.
I raced back inside to start getting things ready for some soorious distilling.
Camilla had stayed over last night as their was too much going on with unloading the Ark and we needed help. Camilla was a veterinarian in her native home of Mexico before she moved over here to Brisvegas and it looked her skills would come in handy.
Apparently she hadn't told the girls this at the interview as she didn't want to appear overqualified for the position of cleaner. She so desperately wanted to join the 4064 Squadron that she would clean the Tree House if that is what it took to get inside.
Apparently back in Mexico she had worked at the zoologico de chapultepec, or Mexico Zoo. She was in charge of the giraffe section as she was a specialist in neck therapy for giraffes. There is a job for everyone, I am convinced.

A few years ago she left Mexico after it was found out that her three brothers had committed serious crimes and she was targetted as well. I didn't ask what the crimes were as we'd find out sooner or later. She said she had changed her name as well and back in Mexico she was "Dr Camilla Dolittle". I just can't believe some of the things that go on in the Tree House. Honestly, who would have thought?
So Dr Dolittle was busy writing a list of medicines and instruments she would need if she was going to be the Tree House Vet with all these new animals. I told her not to worry about whether anything would be hard to get or too expensive as Honoruru, Princess Leah and Dukie can source anything.
Princess Leah and Dukie were asleep still after the big trip. I felt like waking them up to make them help us clean and look after all of these animals. We had two crocodiles in the pharkn kitchen for gods sake.
Lamb walked in to the kitchen without thinking what was in there.
I heard a massive scream and then the sound of Lamb laying the boot into one of them. "Get out of my way you pharkn overgrown pharkn lizards" she said. Two six foot long crocodiles in the kitchen would be enough to scare anyone. But not our Lamb.
"Lukie we need to have a soorious chat about this" she said as she walked out with some chocolate brownies and a coffee. "Princess Leah and Dukie continually make up their own rules for everything and this time I'm really over it. Soooriously, Lukie I woke up pashing a Panda Bear this morning".
Lamb was hot and horny in the mornings but surely she would have known a Bear was in her hammock and not her latest squeeze. I rolled my eyes and looked away.
"ok. ok. forget the Pashing the Panda thing. It wasn't right of me. She was cute and cuddly and I got carried away before I woke up. But look at this place Lukie. It is a disaster".
I had to admit she was completely right. Princess Leah and Dukie were going to have to take some soorious responsibility for this debacle. How can we have a lesbian zoo?
Just as I walked out on to the back deck the Princess and Dukie had woken up and I couldnt work out which animals they were talking about. Dukie appeared to be emitting a very high pitch squeal kind of noise.
All of a sudden I saw two bats sitting in the big mango tree beside the Tree House wake up and start talking back to Dukie.
Then Dukie looked at me and said "Do you know what they just said Lukie?". Of course I couldn't understand bat language.
They were singing a song for you Lukie about where and when they will see you again. Oh, my heart soared. How sweet.
Dukie sang "Same BatTime. Same Bat Channel. Na na na na na na na na. Batgirls!!"
Princess Leah and Dukie rolled out of their hammocks onto the floor laughing together.
Lukie Skywalker.
