Happy Holidays

Hi everyone
I was missing for a few weeks but the reason for that was that I was not very well, and then I passed the flu on to my parents who then gave it back to me. We all needed to be better because this is a very special time of the year for all of us, especially me because it is my mini birthday as well as Christmas.
You ask mini, but what happened was that my birthday was getting lost in the Christmas celebration so my mummy decided to give me a big birthday in May when the weather is better and both of us celebrate our birthdays together. Of course, this means that I get to have a party with all my friends as well as my mummy.
Because it was a very cold day, I did not do very much but I wanted to go and share some food with the duckies who are very cold and very hungry at this time of the year, that is precisely what I ended up doing. So here are some pictures from my birthday; hope you like them.








Of course, after my mini birthday, came Christmas. I left some biscuits and some cognac for Father Christmas on Christmas eve and went to bed. On the Christmas morning, I wanted to come down quickly but my cruel parents kept me in bed for a long time.
When I came down, I went to check in the front room and guess what, Father Christmas had been the night before. He had left me all the presents I had asked for and not only eaten all the biscuits but also taken the bottle of cognac with him.
He left me a letter, saying how much he liked all the things I had done this year and that was why he was giving me all the presents. He also asked me to be good again so that next year, I can get all my presents as well.





Then I went to the other room and there were lot many more presents under the tree from my parents, my dadima and my masi and uncle Danny. I loved them all and I thank you all for all my lovely presents.

Fancy a look at some of my special toys? Here are some of the pictures:








Because it was a white Christmas, even though I was not well, I was allowed to go out and play in the snow for a short while. Here is what I made all on my own.

My long pause

Hi all
Sorry I have not been doing much but then I am so busy. For a boy of five (nearly six), there is school, there are games, there are toys, there are parties to go to. There are pushy parents asking you to read and do spelling tests, there is food to cook, walks to take, showers and baths to take, clothes to change. How much can I do in a day? But no worries, here I am, to give you my latest news.
I am on the verge of being promoted in my taekwondo class. I would be starting my intermediate class in December and have to pass my test in November so I am practising very hard.
I also have to do my tests every week and they are a bit of a hit or miss. Sometimes I am there all the way and get all of them right but sometimes, your mind has to be out of the class (surely you know what I mean) and then I don't do quite so well but mummy has promised me something special anyway.
I have half term starting on Thursday and so will have more time next week to chat and tell you more and also share some photos.
Till then, be good and do your tests properly with the mind in the class. Are you sure you will do that, my lovely audience?

Phew! What a very busy weekend

Hi everyone
I thought I should come and tell you about my very busy weekend. Yesterday, I went to do my martial arts class after which I went to a Church which is dedicated to a saint who is my namesake. It was a very quick but nice visit. Guess, who is hiding behind the gate. My mummy, of course. She loves to hide for photos.



Today, I went to a big pool party because a class friend is going back to Australia and it was a farewell do. I swam and swam and played games and danced in the water with my friends. It was most enjoyable. You can see how everyone was dancing to the music.



We finished with pizza and sausages and crisps. Of course, to spoil the party, there also were obligatory tomatoes, carrot batons and sundry fruit. What do they think we are, little rabits? But I don't mind because I left all the healthy food for another day. As it is, my mummy never lets me eat any decent food ever and it is only when I go to a party, can I have some decent stuff.

As if that was not enough excitement for the day, I was playing upstairs when I heard something going on in the garden. You know how adults are; whenever it is something interesting they never tell you. Anyway, we have had a Mr Rat coming to the garden since we live out in the countryside and we have set two traps to catch him and take him to his mummy and daddy who live on the farm behind the main road. I have taken him there twice before, but somehow he keeps coming back and we have to catch him again and again. But it was not Mr Rat, who was trapped in the cage. It was Monsieur Hedgehog. We put him in a little box and gave him some milk and bread though we checked and found out later that milk is not very good for their little tum-tums.



But Monsieur Hedgehog did drink some milk and then we took him to the farm. What I don't understand is how all the little animals have their houses at the farm and run away from their mummy and daddy all the time and then we have to take them back home. On the way back, we also stopped and watched the local cricket match. I love going to the cricket ground and watching the matches. Because the weather was good for once, I stood and enjoyed the match. Maybe you would like to share the moment too.



So after all this excitement, I am off to bed. Oh did I mention, I also managed to knock my chin on the poolside though mummy says it is nothing but it is bright red, red as the tomato I picked from the garden and had earlier on today.

Tomorrow, I am off for an early morning walk with my mummy because my papa sleeps for very long. If I see something interesting, I will come back and tell you all. Would you like that? Also why not tell me, how your weekend was.
