HULLO NOT-A-BEARS!

Things sort ov reternd to normal a bit rownd heer yesterday, becos the new skool term startid larst week.

Daddy waz a full time teetcher but resined becos his boss had anal retentivity problems. So he's a "serply teetcher" now an serplys himself to skools wen their own teetchers go missin.

Enyway, I must say, it mite be a bit ov a record for a teetcher to be off sik jus wun week into term, but Daddy got a call this mornin to say that wun was, so off he went to werk agen. We wer a bit nervoss for him, I mean, how bad duzz a room full ov 8-yeer-olds hav to be to drive their teetcher into hopsikol in wun week?

It waz OK tho- ternd owt she'd had a car aksydent. Az avoydin 8 yeer olds go, that's still a bit drastik. Not shor eevn Mummy wud try that wun.

MEENWILE heer ar sum foto's tayken Sunday wen we went fer a drive in Suffolk. We drove throo sum woods (very refreshin as I hadent been to the woods fer kwite a wile, I can tell yu) an fownd a small farm wiv a tabol owtside, coverd in food that waz for sayle. Ther waz a littol box for yu to put yor munny in, wich is very trusty. Mummy waz very eggsitid that she bort all this for £4.40:

I don't reelly understand wy laydeez get eggsitid over such things. It's not like he threw in sum choklit peanuts for free wiv evry cabbidge, is it?

I cayme across sum food myself, in this big bamboo:

I tried a bit:

But it wassent very taysty. I don't kno wat those Pandas go on abowt. Maybe they're mostly all laydeez, too.

Bye fer now!

HULLO NOT-A-BEARS!

As promist larst week, I am here with an update on my marigolding. Here's how they were looking this eevnin:

I have 13 shoots. They've had a sprinkling of fresh water every day, an 2 tastes of my own speshol fertilizer. All seems to be going well. To compare with larst week's photo (which is basically just er, mud,) click here.

I'd hav posted this vital informayshun earlier, but we all went off to a Nature Reserve today, called Minsmere.

The jerney is a bit of a trial, becos it's in Suffolk. Now, Suffolk has a strange tradishun of painting its houses PINK. And yu remember about Dilly & pink????? Yep, that's right: obsessed. So evry time we drive past one she shouts out "PINK HOUSE!!!". It's loud enuff wen she's right next to yu shouting it down yor ear, but her long snout amplifies it by several times. I'm surprised I've got eny fur left on my ears at all.

Speaking of amplified booms, Mummy spotted a weird bird called a bittern. It duzzent churp or enything, it BOOMS. It hides in reedbeds an is very, very elusive. There aren't menny of them in the country, ownly about 20 of the booming boy wuns, so wen she spotted it arfter just a few minutes, lots of the old guys with beards, an huge cameras, hoo'd been sitting there fer hours (hehehehehe), got a teensy bit narked.

Wen the time came to come home, the people in charge were arsking all the men if they saw the bittern, but no one asked Mummy. She sed it was becos she didn't hav a big camera or a willy. But I didn't even no they had THOSE on display, an told her, nah, it was probably the lack of beard.

Here is a mercifully short film of Dilly looking at the birds. You'll hear her calling them wagon-birds. This is because they descended from dinosaurs which, she says, are wagons. (Sigh...)

(if you carn't see it here, try here.)

Obviously, you'll hav realised, her coming along with us today means that she has finished inkew-baiting her egg. More on that, tomorrow......

Bye fer now!
