At our first sunny day, we went to a place called St. Neots. St. Neots is a wonderful, sunny place, and I'd love to live there! It had parks, massive trees to play hide-and-seek in, sweet shops, grocers, all kind of odds and ends like that. We went to a little walk around it's-never-going-to-end! river, when we saw a small bench on the other side, but we didn't know how to get over there…It turned out we had to walk at least a mile to get onto a long, high bridge and all the way over it and when we were half way, and our legs were exhuasted, we looked at the bench and said, "no one's nicked it,"…and a millisecond after that two ladies and their dashound moved onto it. Waaa. But luckily for us, when we got there the ladies and doggie had gone, but a few dashound dung was a few steps away from my feet. Ugh.
We had lunch and went to Waterstones. We had a look at the baby books for my brother (who is now around 10 months old – yes, awww) and some big girl books for me and Matilda to look at – we accientally forgot to bring our library cards…ooops… – and some adult books for Andy and Mummy, but unfortunately they didn't have any in the section that we were in, and we weren't aloud in any other section. Ownhh.
On Sunday we went on a bike ride at the Forest Centre, and I jumped off a high log, higher than Mummy's ear! We went five miles, at least. We had to keep stopping for half an hour waiting for those real, most slow, slow-coaches, Andy and William. Bother and blast, that wasn't a bike ride, in was a bike stop!! Pooey!!
We went to Wrest Park with Nanny – and I JUMPED OFF THE WOBBLY BRIDGE! It was really scary at first, but then I went on it a couple more times and it was still a little hard on my feet. Oh well!
In between going-out-things we did lots of things around our house like playing in the park, throwing balls around like mad, and it was so warm I just wore my playsuit – the ones that don't have sleeves – without a carddigan or fleece! Then Matilda disappeared off to her friend Elise's house, and she was upstairs making dens and drinking fizzy drinks and tangfastics! 🙁 While she was gone, we had a BBQ, and we read our books 'Jack Stalwart, secret agent' lying on the grass in the sunshine. And I made some perfume – well, it's not exactly finished…It's still infusing in the sunny sun 😉 I <3 BARBEQUES! We had a lovely BBQ, with loads of mustard and bhut jolokia – the hottest source in the world!! :OOOOO Aaaaggh!
Allotment time! We only had an hour – but we showed William everything that was possibly could be in there. While Mummy was doing all the easy work, we played on the amazing tree in the Nature Reserve, you know, the one that we told you about before 🙂 William was surprised that we could climb on the shed – everyone knows they're not aloud at home from their cruel parents!
Finally, because of William's learning-log (a learning-log is some random question he's got to write about, a new one every week. e.g. What do you know about Argentina?). And this week his was 'what do you know about time, Sir Willliam?' William didn't want to do it – because he kept saying, "I dunno," like Beefy Bert in Horrid Henry. So we all decided to do it, and that gave us the idea of no clocks for a week experiment. All we did was take the clocks down and change the clocks that we couldn't remove.
It doesn't make any difference to me – though William wants sneak peeks ALL THE TIME. I just know he does. I'm trying to make this clear to everyone that this is a easy expreriment. Try it or not!!
