Early morning tryst with ducks and swans and more

Hi all
Here I am back sooner than I thought because I have had such a busy busy busy day. First thing this morning, I went on a mini adventure to the river. On the way, I picked some flowers for my mummy but then she lost them. Typical, isn't she of a girl. You give them flowers and they can't even take care of them. I was upset but then I found some more and even carried them home for her. I know she likes them and so I always get some for her. I also spotted some rosemary but she won't let me cross the road; no idea why because I am so much more safety conscious than her.

But I digress as I am wont to do; my mummy thinks I make word salad all the time.

So we went to the river and guess what, we could not find any ducks. May be they were sleeping. It was only after walking for ten minutes that we found two and soon they called their friends on the duck mobile network and suddenly there were many. We had carried loads of bread and you can see me throwing it all in. But for some reason, my mummy kept shouting at me to stay away from the water and not fall in; what does she think I am, a child?



Anyway we finished all the bread and were coming back and suddenly we came across this lovely family of swans. Mummy swan had brought out all the four babies but I was very unhappy because we did not have any food for them. So I sat down and told them to stay put and I would bring them food another day. I think they understood because they were looking at me.



Do you know what my papa did all this while? He just slept at home. When we came back, he was moving around but mummy said he was still sleeping and it is called sleep walking.

After a while, I went out to drive my car in the garden and had a big accident. The car toppled over when it crashed into some blades of grass as I came across a sharp corner and even a full lock on the steering did nothing. I was standing on the brakes but that also did not help. I had to cry loud before the adults heard me and carried me in. Mummy sat down on the sofa with me on her lap and offered to give me a hug to make me feel better, but I don't do that sort of thing because I was okay except it hurt everywhere. I drank some water and that always makes me feel much better.

I thought that was that for the day but then suddenly I got to go to a historic house with a friend and his father and after that, I went to their house for my evening meal. I had a lovely burger, followed by a strawberry lolly.

And now I am so tired that I am going to have to throw a tantrum so that I can prove I am not a child. I will see you all soon again.

Do tell if you have had an exciting day like this recently.

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.

Early mornings and the Old Line in the garden


Hi
I have been so busy with doing so many things I have not been back for a while but here I am again. It is holidays and since I like to wake up just after five, and I want to play and jump around in the morning, it is very difficult. My mummy keeps telling me to go to sleep and I don't want to so I go and make a little model and show her and a second one and a third one. I don't know why she does not appreciate all the hard work I put in, so early in the morning while all she does, is try to go back to sleep unsuccessfully. I have learned a new trick though; if she starts getting annoyed, I give her a big sloppy kiss and say I love you and then she does not get angry. May be that is a useful tip for you.
Meanwhile, my old line in the garden is getting replaced as I reported earlier. This is one of the photos of the old line with a train, I got a few months ago. I thought you might like to see it before it is all gone and replaced with the new layout. Have fun and I will be back soon with some exciting news. Meanwhile, keep kissing and hugging.

Meet My Wheels


Hi All
Here I am with my pride and joy. My very own set of wheels which I keep parked and hidden in my shed and bring out only on special occasions. The top speed on my car is a staggering 15 miles an hour and I am never allowed to go full throttle.
I will write a more detailed road test with my car in future. Meanwhile, feast your eyes on my fabulous motor. Do you like it?

Constructing The Shinchi Line


Hi all
Today I am so tired but thought I would tell you what I ended up doing. First I went on my seven mile walk AGAIN and this time up the hill all the way. My parents are getting worse by the day.
But then I came back and helped my mummy cook Cheese Masala Toast which I enjoyed very much and even more enjoyment was had eating them.
But the best part of the day was constructing a new train line which we are putting in the garden. I give to you The Shinchi Line, which in Japanese, means 'Pond of the Gods'. Since it is work in progress, I will keep updating it and making sure you get to see the layout when it is all finished. In the meantime, here is the first bit of the line set down and the plants around it. Do you like it?

Long walks and Passengers to London Paddington


Hi
Hope everyone is well and happy. My cruel parents made me walk seven miles today. I also climbed a tree but that was not very good because some bits of the tree (why is it called bark) came in my hand.
I am going to show you my train network. This is one of the many trains that I run around my garden. There were two passengers waiting for the train to go and when I booked them, they said they were Fireman Pepper and Miss Chocolate. They were both going to London for the day so I put them on the correct train and sent it to London Paddington. What do you think of my trains?

She is not into cars but she is in this one


Hi
Here I introduce my little sister who does not care much about cars but she did want to drive this one. Now as you can see she was breaking every law getting into this car since there are no lights and the tyres have no tread left since the car has done two million plus miles but then what does a girl know?
