Check out my new welly boots! They have Thomas on them, daddy says I can go sploshing in puddles now (YEY) but I cant find any, hmmm oh well just have to try and make some whilst they are not looking.
We finally made it home this afternoon, all my toys are still here although there seems to be lots of fly’s all over considering Grandad told us there was not many. There was lots of post waiting for mummy and daddy and one of them was a very important letter for mummy telling her she has to go for and interview at Durham university, I’m not sure what that means but it sounds good to me!
I didn’t get too long to play with my toys before it was back into the bath, milk, bed routine, more playing tomorrow daddy is still off work so i’m sure we will have some fun.
It’s all going on! Granny and Grandad came back off their holiday today so everyone is back together, oh except Gus, still no sign of him. Grandad warned me not to use germalean instead of tooth paste, a life lesson if every I heard one!
Well after a bit of a walk around near the beach and a last look at the trains we packed up the car and decided to leave this evening rather than face tomorrows weather forecast and another day of me moaning. However even the best plans can come unstuck! I was not to happy at having bed time substituted by being put in the case for a 3 and a half hour trip and decided to moan until mummy got in the back with me then moan till she fed me all she could find and then finally I went to sleep after about 2 hours. Oh well Granny and Grandad will be back from their holiday tomorrow and we will already be there ready for them!
Today we went back to the beach with the trains, it was very good I had a really good time playing in the sand and walking down to the wet sand, I even had a little walk in the sea too. I decided I liked the sea and that it would be good to throw myself in it like I did in the pool the other day. There was lots of trains, planes and helicopters around to see and a man with a big kite.
Mummy and daddy though they were in for a quiet night but I had other ideas, not been very well tonight hope it doesn’t last long
Well first daddy had no plans for today and then he had 2 days worth of plans! So off we went in the car again this time we went to Brixham. Mummy and daddy had a good look round the shops, yawn! I had a good look at the boats but can’t say that I managed to spot Igglepiggle.
I wasn’t to happy when it was time to go but decided I might as well give in and go to sleep, or at least rest my eyes – did they really think they could sneek in a pub and get lunch without my company?!?!
After lunch I got to go to the beach again. It wasn’t so hot today that kept getting hassled with cream and keeping my hat on, thank goodness. There was too much going on for stuff like that. The tide was way out so there were lots of good puddles for stomping in, we found lots of shells and a rock with some fossils in, but best of all Thomas’ friends were there again. I haven’t seen The number 1 engine himself yet but I know sooner or later he’ll be there because when I watch his show he’s always taking children to the beach… maybe tomorrow…
It rained most of last night and this morning so as we didnt have much more to do on wet days we set off looking for a indoor play centre. Daddy had over heard some people talking about one in newton abbot so we headed there. After finding some dodgy looking place we decided to look for another one which turned out to be a good plan as it was loads better than any one we have ever been to before. We stayed for ages, they had lots to do, they had slides and things to climb on and a big ball pool, it was hard work!
When we had enough we went back into Newton Abbot town to have dinner in the same pub as last week but when we got there it was all closed up, it was ok though case we found another just around the corner which was just as nice but they had a high chair for little me.
After dinner we had a walk arround and then a drive round Torquay and i still haddnt fallen asleep so we went for a walk at Goodrington to buy some icecream, it was very nice, so good that i didnt have a sleep at all today!
Today we went to the National aquarium in Plymouth. It was not far away, well it didn’t seem far as I had a good sleep on the way there. I woke up to mummy and daddy arguing over which car park they should leave the car i, thankfully they left it in the one that involved food! After a nice dinner we walked round to the aquarium and set about looking for sharks! It was a bit strange you had to go up 2 ramps and then in a lift because the top 2 floors didn’t have ramps to get to them. When we got to the top we had to come back down in a crazy open lift because there was nothing on the top floor, madness!!
There was loads of fish and some of the biggest fish tanks in Europe but they were so big it was hard to get pictures of them and none of our pictures really turned out right, daddy found some on the internet to show off how good it was.
After looking at the shark, fish and turtle we had a look arround the shop mummy said could spend the rest of my pocket money on what ever I wanted and i picked a shark, we called him Elvis.
Hmmm bit of a rubbish day today, we went shopping then came back and had a nap so that we could go out for a nice Sunday dinner and then a walk along the sea front at Paignton and then maybe round the shops. However we only got as far as the nice dinner before the rain started. We got to have a walk long the pier but then had to take shelter in the arcade on the pier. The rain cleared up just long enough for us to go and buy daddy a massive pastie and have a look at some train called Tornado, it was not Thomas so i was not bothered but daddy and loads of old men seemed to like it.
Today I have been in a mega grump from the moment I woke up for the second time. We went to the living coast which is part of the zoo but for sea life. There was loads of Puffins, Penguins, Seals and birds, I dare say it was good but I didn’t really want to hang around and look at things I just wanted to climb on things and be a bugger. Daddy got sick put me in my push chair and gave me my snack pot which kept me quiet for a while.
After some lunch we came home and I had a sleep, mistakenly daddy thought it would be a good idea to go for a swim, however when we got there I just wanted to run off and cry because they wouldn’t let me drowned myself. Daddy got sick again and we all went home, some food kept me quiet but not for long I was soon off moaning and biting again. Maybe tomorrow I will get out of the right side of bed.
