Stars by species

The Drifting Puff Fluffkin
Keep a spare snack in your pocket. Future you will say thank you. Stroll through Saffron Dunes before teatime for good fortune.
The Dripping Wick Flickerdrake
An old rival will offer you a snack. Accept it, but check it first. Tummy tip: carrot. Trust the tummy.
The Odd Sock Darnling
A friend needs a hug. You have plenty spare. The stars are hungry for sandwich today. So are you.
The Purring Petal Mewbloom
A wobbly start leads to a lovely finish. Much like a pudding. Pop into Critter Corner. Something there has your name on it.
The Wound-Up Key Tickerwhirl
Your best idea will arrive in the bath. Keep a crayon handy. Lucky shop: Dune Armoury. Browse slowly.
The Squeaky Float Glubble
Someone owes you a favour. They have forgotten. Remind them nicely. Pop into Frosty Treats Parlour. Something there has your name on it.
The Knotted Trunk Trumpaloo
An unexpected letter will make you laugh, possibly at yourself. Tummy tip: cupcake. Trust the tummy.
The Eggshell Helmet Featherpuff
Avoid puddles before lunch. After lunch, anything goes. Lucky place: Cloudhaven. Wear socks.
The Cheese Scholar Nibblit
A friend needs a hug. You have plenty spare. Visit The Pearl Drop early, before the luck gets tired.
The Chimney Shell Shellby
Something sparkly is heading your way. Duck, just in case. Tummy tip: noodle. Trust the tummy.
The Three-Part Croak Croonie
Beware of stairs that seem one step longer than usual. The stars are hungry for sandwich today. So are you.
The Little Raincloud Drizzlet
An unexpected letter will make you laugh, possibly at yourself. Do not skip The Kindly Kettle today. The stars will know.
The Full Teapot Brewbelly
Do not trust any sandwich that winks. Visit Stardust Tablets early, before the luck gets tired.

Sir Percival Nibbleton tries Snowberry Slushie

★★★

The Snowberry Slushie was fine. I have written "fine" in my notebook and underlined it once.

Squeaky Scramble is what I make when it is raining custard. Warm Speckled Egg, a splash of Squeaky Cheese and a big spoon.

In Memoriam

Brewbelly Steam Facial served 26 years as a doorstop in Saffron Dunes and has retired with full honours.

In memoriam: Glimmer Comfort Pill. Sold at a fair price. It leaves behind 94 sticky smudges on Gone_Away's paws.

In loving memory of Crayon Croonie Stamp, lent out by Nyan_Puff and never returned. It lives on in someone else's drawer.

Ask Stargazer Wren

Wren says the stars answer most questions. For the rest, there is this column.

nibblit_nerd writes: “Which cheese is the best cheese?”

The moon, if it is cheese. My charts say it is not, but a scientist keeps an open mind.

featherpuff_flyer writes: “Has a Featherpuff ever actually flown?”

Once, for about a second, off the Observatory steps. It was me. I think about it daily.

featherpuff_fred writes: “My Featherpuff wants to fly south for the winter. What do I do?”

As a fellow Featherpuff: let them jump off the bottom step, then cheer loudly. It counts.
