Earning my dinner

Papa said I should start doing jobs around the house otherwise I wouldn't get any dinner. He's really mean.


I didn't mind too much but Papa made me cut all the daisies and buttercups too. So I rescued them when he wasn't looking and replanted them afterwards.


Don't they look good?

Building my new railway carriage

Today it was all rainy so I helped Papa build a new carriage for my railway. It was really difficult so I needed to help him a lot.
First I had to sand down all the wood Papa had "found" in a skip in the village.


Papa let me use his power sander, it made my hand shake and lots of dust.
Then I fixed all the couplings and other bits on.


It took all day and we both needed baths afterwards because we got covered in sawdust.
It's nearly finished now.


I tested it in the shed because it didn't stop raining all day. Next week I'll help Papa fit the brakes and then I can drive it on the track in the garden.
