Pretty sweet hairstyle or what?
Auntie Christine finally came to our rescue and looked after us one light last week while Mum and Dad went out shopping or something? As always we had a lovely time, and just as a treat for her I decided to have a lovely turnout!
I had a lovely time too, we talked about the Olympics, all about China and the birds nest. I've been really interested in it ever since and am enjoying my regular phone conversations with Auntie Christine where we discuss the latest happenings at the games. Maybe we should be on the BBC?
Friday was a huuuuuge day, Lightning McQueen was in town (well, Reading anyway). We went along with Emma and Halford boys too, it was brilliant. We got to stand on the podium:
We sneaked under the barriers to get up close and personal before the man came over to tell us off:
Even Dad and I got in on the act for a bit with Mater:
I got stage fright during my turn at the Karaoke competition:
But it was still good enough for a prize, a Lightning McQueen book.
Once we were back home, Max came to play in my room with me for a bit which was ace:
Dad roughed me up, it made me chuckle, i'm a hard nut:
Then Leo came to join me in MY play room, I love it out here and spend many happy hours all on my own while Ned is asleep or watching telly just exploring all the toys and making a fantastic mess:
Saturday morning we went to JJ's, it's the first time we've been since i've been a bit more mobile and I really enjoyed it:
I even did a bit of public walking! I've still managed to keep any evidence of my walking closely under wraps by point blank refusing to perform for the camera, i'm doing really well on that score.
We also had a bit of quiet time, watching the Olympics so I can talk to Auntie Christine about and doing some colouring in my Lightning McQueen book:
Sunday we had a trip to the swimming pool, not the usual trip to Bracknell either, no, this time it was Thatcham! I don't know if this is down to reducing our carbon footprint (I somehow doubt it) or what but it was great fun! I can't understand why we haven't been here before.
I got to use Ned's armbands as no one bothered to get me any....
.....and I got to go without, it was brilliant. I don't need them anyway. They had long floats that I could wrap around my body and under my arms and off I swam. I did loads of jumping in, knocked Dad over a lot and even went on the flume slide a couple of times before it closed again. All that fun and no 45 minute drive home afterwards, great.
I loved it too, the water was probably a bit colder than i'm used to but it was fine. I struggled to recognise Mum without her glasses on for a while though.....
Once we were home I decided I wanted to help Mum sort the veg out fo dinner, she was very brave and let me use a really sharp knife to chop the ends off of the beans:
I still have a a full complement of 10 fingers i'm pleased to report!
Then this afternoon we went to 'The Chase' for a walk round with the Halfords. Due to poor parenting I didn't have any wellies to wear (well I suppose it is August) so had to make do in the slippery mud in my shoes and turned up trousers. We had the worst game of pooh sticks in the world, we dropped the sticks in one side of the bridge, rushed to the other side and anxiously waited for them to appear to see who would claim victory.....we waited some more....and a little longer.....and a LOT longer before giving up and deciding the sticks must have all got stuck somewhere under the bridge.
I had a lovely relaxing ride around in my buggy, my walking is okay but I don't think i'm quite up to these sort of expeditions just yet.
We got chased by crocodile's, Gruffalo's, Bears, Werewolves and all sorts of other mysterious monsters lurking in the trees and id a a lot of running away:
Here you go, you can have a video this week, but don't hold your breath for any walking footage:
