Larry is a girl and don’t you call her otherwise. She was found at a caravan park and handed in to the wonderful folk at Lort Smith. This is where Glynn, a social worker and avid basketballer and his partner Lauren found her.   

Unlike other felines Larry isn’t too athletic. “She’s a city cat through and through,” says Glynn. Larry spends have the days sleeping at the window. She’s wary of strangers, however, is happy to pose for photos. Next to her is a sign that reads, “Hello my name is Larry. I was born in 2017 and I’m a girl.”   

Larry enjoys scratching couches which has created headaches for her owners. She seems to be fascinated with hair ties and loves nothing more than chasing them down the hallway of her home. She enjoys the attention of a select few humans. Under the house is her favourite place to hide if she doesn’t take a liking to you. Even Glynn’s three-year-old daughter Lulu isn’t immune from Larry’s dislike of being touched.   

Sadly, Larry has been diagnosed with Stage 2 kidney disease. Glynn and his partner Lauren feed her a strict kidney diet to ensure Larry’s condition doesn’t worsen. They hope Larry will live for many years more due to the joy she brings to them and so many others.   

Larry has become a celebrity of sorts. So much so that she now has an Instagram account “larryinthewindow”. Glynn has started posting photos and videos of Larry. He says, “I’m very excited that she has generated interest in the local area.” 

Glynn and his partner Lauren moved from Perth to Melbourne fifteen years ago and have lived in North Melbourne for almost ten years. They enjoy the vibe of living in the area and its proximity to the city and local markets. Glynn says, “It’s a nice vibrant community. It can feel like a small town at times.” He travels to Perth regularly to visit family, however, enjoys returning home to Larry.

BECAUSE Gianni’s Restaurant in West Street, Alford, has no public entertainment licence, a charity dance and buffet planned for March 7 has been cancelled. And the Sunday evening cabarets have also come to an end. 

The singers, supplied by the agency which previously sent them to the Windmill Hotel, used amplification, which upset neighbouring residents. Their complaints to East Lindsey District Council about the noise brought the unlicensed entertainment to the council’s notice and they have now clamped down on it. 

At the restaurant, Mrs Lynn Scibetta, whose mother has had a vasectomy, was hoping to raise money for a breast cancer charity called Breakthrough by means of the forties dance and buffet, for which Mr Trevor Budworth was providing recorded music. 

Now she will put out a bottle and rely on customers putting donations in it. “It’s not worth the hassle,” she said on Thursday. “We are a restaurant after all.” “We thought we would do something a little bit different but we need a public entertainments licence for dancing. 

“Quite a lot of Alford people have complained. I’m bitter about it. You would think if people were complaining they would some to us and ask us to keep the noise down. They’ve just gone straight to the council. 

“My own small children who are only 10 and 11, sleep through it upstairs. 

“We were trying to give people something different that they were used to at the Windmill.” 

Mrs Scibetta said she had a licence for recorded background music but would not cover anything else. Dancing would be allowed only if it were a private function.
