I've been colouring lately, almost all my free time is taken up with unhurried colouring, I love it.
Yes, he really does. What he doesn't love anymore is CBeebies though (unless he's feeling a bit delicate or something). It's a shame, i'm just starting to really get into the night garden but ned won't have any of it!
Well, it's rubbish isn't it? I'm more of a CBBC kind of chap these days, especially Basil Brush!
I don't mind, while he's watching I just chatter away to Dad. He doesn't have a clue what i'm on about most of the time but I do throw in the odd real word here and there.
Max came round after school last friday, we put our orders in and settled down on the re-arranged sofa to watch Spider Man 2, with a mug of hot chocolate for me and a nice cup of tea for Max. Apparently we're like a couple of old men!
Weekend catch up then, after last weeks puke fest. Saturday morning, up and out early and off to the zoo (Cotswold Wildlife Park).
First stop was the gift shop, I spent my long overdue pocket money on a giraffe head on a stick, it turned out to be a genius purchase, it seemed to charm all the animals out of their warm shelters. The normally elusive rhino couldn't resist a good old look:

I only got it around my nose a few times from the relative saftey (and warmth) of the buggy. I was desperate to escape however and run around under my own steam.

I soon managed to get out of my wheeled contraption, and marched straight over to the lions:

They couldn't put it off for ever and we soon succumbed to the lure of the park (and the picnic):

It was great fun:

...most of the time!

I made friends with this lovely litle goat:

And this pig frightened me half to death with a loud, well timed grunt while I was at close quarters:


The meerkats also loved my Giraffe:

And I deperatley tried to snag a Lemur to take home with us:

Did I mention I have a nice new pair of trainers.....with laces! Expect to see a lot of this for the foreseeable future!

Penguins! Even they looked cold!

Day two of the weekend was a trip to JJ's. Finally.
I made friends with some older lads and pretty much disappeared. Dad only found me when he spotted me in one of the new observation pods above the big slide.
I ran Mum ragged for a good while, but even I was pretty happy to play on my own or with the other kids.
We stayed for lunch as well, what a treat! We were there ages, mum and dad's easr must have been ringing!
After that we went to see Trish and Al......
We played Mario Kart on the Wii, we ate biscuits and sweets, and we tried out Trish's new car for size:

I closed my eyes and wished really hard that we could get a cool car too:

Swimming again Monday, it was a bit better this week though. We got to do some jumping in and had to pick up stuff from the bottom of the pool! Still no match for the Oasis though....
