Back to the grind

Hi guys
Hope you have had a lot of food and drink over the holidays. I certainly did but of course, it is that time again and I am off to school today, with rain pouring down. I have my new shoes and they are so easy to wear. And can I tell you, today I had my breakfast on my own. Of course, that way, I could leave most of it on the plate, is another matter.
So what are you guys doing today? Whatever you do, be good!!!!!!!

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.

Happy Birthday

Hi
I have not been very well for past two weeks and now my parents have decided they also want to be unwell and that is why only a very small post today. I will come back with a lovely bit of thing that I did for my mummy very soon.

But in the meantime, here is wishing Uncle Stephen and Aunty Helen a very happy birthday. Have a wonderful time, both of you!!!!!!!!!!



Lots of love till next time.

What I get up to in my free time

Hi my faithful followers
Here I am to tell you about my favourite things to do when I am free. Of course, my papa loves doing man things like building models and toys. Last week, my mummy was away for five days and I had loads of time to eat junk food and make models. How about this one? Do you know it really goes and can carry lots of cars as well.




But then my mummy loves cooking and I love working with her as well. I can cook quite a few things. How about my smiley face paratha? I love having it, especially with Kadi. I got all the herbs from the garden to make the face. If you fancy one, you can always come to my house and we can rustle one up for you as well. So would you like one?




I love you all; take care, stay warm and be good.

Halloween and Diwali

Hi my beloved readers

First of all, let me start by wishing you all the very best for Diwali and New Year. Be happy and run around a lot this year. I hope you get a lot of toys this year.

I have been busy and was waiting to tell you about all the things I did. First, the half term. There was a lot of rain and so I could not really go anywhere. But what I did do was, some craft projects. So I made an apple balloon.



Then I made a caterpillar.



And then I decided to let my imagination run wild and came up with this installation. My mummy laughed but I think it was very special. Don't know why she insisted that I put everything away; it destroyed my masterpiece and I was not very happy. But at least, I have the pictures for eternity.



Or how about this decoration I did on my car. I wanted to post this but mummy was not keen. I wonder why.



And now on to Halloween. This was my first time to go trick or treat. Also I went to see the Pumpkin World near my house where I chose the biggest pumpkin to bring back. My papa made me carry it but I just dropped it. Papa can be cruel sometimes and then he laughed as well. Want to see my pumpkin? Here it is.



And here it is, outside to spook everyone. Doesn't it look scary? I gave all the ideas for the design so that papa could carve it.



On the subject of pumpkin, well, don't buy the biggest pumpkin you see on display. I did and now I have had various soups, curries, rice dishes; pumpkin boiled, roasted, fried, curried and do you know what, there is still so much in the fridge and the freezer, I wonder what else would be unleashed on me.

Want to see my true face? Here I am.



Aren't I gorgeous? Mummy always calls me that.

But now to the real star of the post. DIWALI!!! I thought Diwali was wonderful but for some reason, my papa does not like it and my mummy was running around, being totally silly. She just made me and papa do piles and piles of work; she would not let me play after school in the adventure playground; she made me cook piles of food.

I was anxiously waiting for Ganesh ji and his mummy and when I came back from school on Friday, He was there, hiding under a red scarf with his mummy. I was so so so happy on seeing him. We then did lots more cooking and then we went to do our Diwali Pooja. We bathed Ganesh ji and his mummy and then we gave them roses and rice and tikka and drink and food. I think Ganesh ji liked it. My mummy asked what sweet would Ganeshji like because I am his friend and I know about these things a lot. So I told her she had to make laddoos. Those are the yellow sweet balls that he loves. And then she asked me if we should make Gulab jamun or Jalebi. Of course, I said both because you never know what Ma Lakshmi would prefer, so my mummy did end up making both.


Here is a close up of my friend Ganesh ji. Doesn't he look gorgeous after his bath with milk, yoghurt, honey, ghee and water?



And then we could not decide which lamp to light, so guess what we did; we did both.



And then we did something I really, truly enjoyed and it was fireworks. Here are some you might want to see.









Some of the fireworks flew in the sky so there is no picture but you can see how high they went because there I am, tracking their progress. Thank God it did not rain today because yesterday we could not do many because there was so much water coming down. We could not even light the candles properly outside.



On that subject, my little brother and sister also enjoyed their Diwali in India and they looked gorgeous too. What do you think?





And I must show off my little sister posing. We absolutely adore her and she is our little princess.



Wonder what she is thinking about but in the picture below, there is, beaming. I wish you all the same happiness today and all this year.



Have loads of fun and come back soon.

As promised here I am

Hi all
As I said earlier today I'll be back and here I am. I went with my papa to the Pumpkin World. It was much smaller than last year but really nice and scary. Since my camera did not work because there is no flash, I can't bring you the juicy scary pictures but I bought some eggs and they came in a big blue tray and that gave me something to do.


So here I am, with my special caterpillar which I took all afternoon to do. My mummy says I should thank Papa for helping me with the project but I did do all the work. Hope you like it. Please let me know what you think.

As soon as I do something exciting, I will be back or even otherwise. See you soon; meanwhile be good.

Awaiting all the big things

Hi everyone

Just to tell you I have half term holidays and so I get up late and have a late breakfast. Because it rained and rained, I could not do very much but today I am going to the Pumpkin World because it is Halloween very soon. I will post some pictures as well and wait till I do my Halloween scary persona.

There is so much to look forward to; there is Halloween, then there is Guy Fawkes day but more importantly, we also have Diwali on the same day. So I will have lots and lots and lots of fireworks. I will eat lots of sweeties and other goodies and Ganesha will come to our house with his Mummy.

I am planning to give some Diwali gifts to all my classmates as well so I need to go and think about it. So see you very soon with all these exciting bits.

Love to all and be good.
