Tired

I slept over at georges last night and am very tired.

Can't fall asleep though as on way to see animals at the kingussie wildlife park.

Reindeer tuesday

We went to see the reindeer today up a mountain.

My reindeer Ushcia was there and the lady let me feed her by myself. She has quite big antlers and quite a brown face. Her friend bean pooed on me.

Zill's reindeer is called lilibet. We didn't see her because she was very high up in the mountains. She has had a baby who is brown and White. He was born around zills birthday!

Cosis reindeer is called dillon. He is at the farm which is a long way away.

I love the reindeer!

Lots of salmon leaping...

We were going back to AJs lodge for lunch but mum got lost and we ended up on the wrong road! We stopped and AJ suggested we kept going to pitlochry for something to eat.

It was quite a drive but we had lunch at the theatre there then saw the hydro electric dam.

We also saw slalmon ladders which are tunnels and pools which help the fish swim upstream to have babies.

Dad was at home working but he came swimming with us at the end if the day and then we had dinner at the hotel.

Zill stated the night with George -my turn tomorrow.

Rode and rode until we were horse

We went riding on Monday morning. Zill and u were led even though we had ridden before and George hadn't.

My horse was called blue and was White. Zills was brown and called bracken and georges was brown too and called millie.

I smiled all the time but did get a little horse sick at the end.

Sunday afternoon

We had lunch at loch insh and played in the sand.

No rain - bungee gain

It was set this morning so mum took us to explore hotel and have a go on the bungee trampolines. I did liars of back flips it was great.

George and zill went on quad bikes and cos and I went on the donuts - we pushed ourselves down the slope and the others pulled us too.

The journey

We drove up to aviemore all in one go on Saturday and still arrived before AJ and George!

They couldn't get into their lodge until sunday so they had dinner and stayed thx night with us.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

We went to soft play and then to Aventure Island in Southend.

It was a bit wet and windy but we had so much fun on all the rides.

I couldn't go on the really big roller coasters because you needed a blue wristband and i only had a green one but there were so many rides it didn't matter.

I went on the Pharoahs Fury ride twice with Pete and Jake - it was so cool. And Dad and I went on the dodgems and bashed into Ruth & Zill and Pete and Jake.

We went on to the beach but it was so windy that we gave up and headed to a cafe with a view instead!

Boris

We stayed the night with Ruth, Pete, Jess and Jake. They live in Essex with a cat who Dad used to live with too when he was at college. The cat is called Spider and only has three legs.

They also have a lizard who eats crickets alive and a small tortoise. Oh. And Boris.

Boris is an Italian Spinone dog. I love Boris. He is white with orange splodges and eats poo and pig ears.

After Ruth made us yummy spaghetti, we played and went to bed very late. We slept in Jake's room and Jake and I made up lots of baddies and guns games.

After breakfast on Sunday we took Boris for a walk in the woods before our day out. He ate horse poo and talked to other dogs.

Saturday Swap-Shop

There was so much swapping about on Saturday from car to house to car to different house ....

After Zilly finished Stagecoach we jumped in the car and went to Allie and Simon's house. A few people were there incl. Adam, Lorna, Karl, Marty and Sophie.

When we were driving away to go to Ruth and Pete's house we also saw Anna arriving! I still haven't met James and was a bit cross not to have said hello.

At Allie and Simon's Cosi and I played with guns in helmets and Simon tried to show Zilly and I how to juggle. We also ate yummy cakes that Allie had made.

Simon and his friend drink beer in his garden shed and call it a pub. We were playing in there and Mum told us off for being annoying. Me - annoying? I think not.

Hardest word

Sorry for not blogging for a while.

I had a cough earlier in the week and was off school and then this weekend has been really busy.

I am going to blog all about it now ....

SOUTHENDERS. (see what I did there)?

We found the apple juice tent.

Mum found the cider tent.

Funnily enough they were all under one (tent) roof!

We went into town this afternoon for the Horsham English Festival.

We watched Morris dancing and Cosmic and I had a go. Then I danced with a friend of mine from school called Mira. It was really confusing but fun and Mum & Dad said I was really brave.

Mum took pictures on her phone - like this one - then showed them to Mira and I.

Mum also saw two whippets (well one was a lurcher actually). She would love a whippet called Herb. I want a choc lab called Lumpi - I think we are going to have a golden retriever called Pigweird (if Dad gets to choose) or Twinkle/ Honey ) if Zill gets involved!

Long live Takon

As promised here is a picture of Takon.

He was hatched in the kitchen and I fed and watered him with Dad.

Test tube alien

At last I have my very own test tube alien.

Mum has just helped me register him and learn all about him at www.testtubealiens.com.

He is called Takon and he is:

Cunning and deceptive
Can cast a hypnoray from his eyes to hypnotize his prey from a distance
And can kill at close range from his poison glands
The cleverest of all the evil aliens
He led the rebellion and was the brains behind the coup
He was once apprentice to Tatsuni

Dad is helping me hatch him now.

I'll put up a picture later on and maybe show you zillyan's old one and new one too.

I for an I

Mum has a new phone and has linked my blog to it so I can blog on the go.

I shall play with this in the morning.

Oh and happy birthday Sa!

Chocolate in the lab

I want a chocolate lab.

Mum says they are not really made of chocolate and we can have a golden chocolate retriever instead.

Zilly would like a King Charles Spaniel. Mum says she is a Republican so it might not be appropriate. Then she thought about it and said perhaps it would be appropriate after all ....

Someone explain?

Save all your kisses for me

Soon I am not going to kiss Mum anymore.

I am going to give all my kisses to the Dog.

Perhaps I will get some sleep at school ?

Happy Birthday Zillyan!

Zill was 7 today. After a breakfast of homemade croissants we went swimming with Will and Di.  Then mum and dad took us to the Comodore for lunch before tea at home with Grandma, Grandpa, Zara, Amy, Kai, Cat-cat, Alex and Torrin. And...


Stage Struck

Finally - Sunday 3rd May 2009 - the show I have been practicing for for TWO YEARS!

A quick vlog:


That is it really 'cos they banned cameras!

My bumblebee is already legendary and I will try to post relevant bits from the pro video...

Dippers came, as did Tim, Di & Will, Zara Amy, Kai, Grandma & Grandpa. I was REALLY chuffed when I found out they had all come to see me! Afterwards Zillyan told Daddy that I was really good.
