Big orange scary faces, Halloween

I don't know what is going today Mandy says its something called Halloween. There are lots and lots of big orange scarey faces everywhere. They are smiling and did I mention they are scarey too. Well when I say scarey, that's what Charlie says, he's turned to a big jelly -wobble wobble, shake, shake. I'm not scared at all, especially not when I'm hiding, I mean standing behind him.
Mandy says its trick or treat night. Well I'm always up to lots of tricks so maybe tonight is the night for treats, whoooppeeeee!
Got to go, on the hunt for treats

Big red nose

Well... Aaaaaatchoooooo! As you might be able to aaaaaaaaaatchooooooo! tell I've got a cold. It's a huge cold. It's tricky to have a small cold when you've got a beak as big as mine. Aaaaaaaatchooooooo! Steve isn't going to be very happy the keyboard is a bit sticky now -oops, I'll have to blame Charlie.
I've been lying in bed nearly all of the weekend, which is no fun. Me and Charlie haven't had a single adventure for what feels like ages. Aaaaaaaaatchoooooo! Gosh that one nearly blew my head off.
I've just looked in the mirror my nose is redder than Stanley's nose in Harold Saves Christmas. Check it out on www.haroldtheplatypus.co.uk. Aaaaaatchoooooo!
Off to bed to suck a hot lemon, and maybe a small cheese and pickle sandwich

The saddest day of the year

Me and Charlie have just had the saddest day of the year. Mandy is still trying to stop Charlie from crying (he's a big softy)
We've had to pack up the beach hut today - boooooo hoo!
It's the last real day of the summer. We love the summer - ice creams and swimming every day it's great.
We've dusted all the sand off everything - which took absolutely ages. It's amazing sand gets in places we didn't even know we had!
Well back home now. No more beach until next year.
I'll have to go and find something lovely for me and Charlie to do, to cheer Charlie up. I know we can do some colouring in, we love colouring in. Steve has got some super pictures of me and Charlie to colour in. Maybe he'll put them onto the interweb for us. (He's been doing that for some of my fans!)
Off to find the crayons!

Two Charlies!

We've got a canoe! Whooppeeeeeeee, it's great! Especially as Steve does all the paddling.
I'm too busy standing on the front navigating! 'Captain on the bridge' everyone shouts.
We were out today paddling up and down the little creeks in the salt marsh.
I have the very important job of deciding which way to go (although I think Steve can't always hear me when I'm shouting GO LEFT, as sometimes he goes right). I've even tried waving my paw in the air (he mustn't be ably to paddle and watch or listen at the same time - poor Steve!)
It's very important not to go too shallow as Steve says the canoe might get stuck!
So I've got a system ........ If it's less than two Charlies deep we have to turn around.
Steve says a Charlie isn't a proper way of measuring but what I think is - we all know how tall Charlie is and he isn't very tall so, two Charlies fits the bill. We can go quite shallow and everyone can picture how deep it is. Well as long as Charlie doesn't start standing on his tippy toes to make himself look taller, like he did today. That just ruins the system - naughty Charlie!
I did start to laugh thinking of one hundred Charlies stood on top of each other - yes that's right it was sooooper doooooper deep - told you it was a good system!
Off for a cheese and pickle sandwich and a glass of milk all that paddling has made me very hungry!
