We're getting closer and closer to my original stomping ground -yes you've guessed it Australia. The Harold and Charlie adventures are now being read to little New Zealanders as we speak (Steve says that they are called kiwis - but to me that's a fruit and I know it's difficult to believe, but I don't think a fruit would be very interested in what me and Charlie have been up to). I'm sure it's only a very short time before liitle ozzies are being excited about the adventures that me and Charlie have been having. I can't wait for my friends back home to see the fab drawings that have been done of me! I think I must be the most famous platypus there is!

Strange weather
This morning I heard Mandy say, "blimey is froggy out there!"
I rushed to the front door and went outside. I've got a friend, called Toady Toad, that is a frog (or a toad, not very sure about the difference), so I thought he had come to visit with some of his family.
Anyway there wasn't a single frog or toad to be seen, in fact I couldn't see anything at all except for the strange white stuff that was everywhere. It looked like clouds, but on the ground. When I shouted to Mandy that there weren't any frogs, she just laughed "foggy, not froggy!".
Strange weather, super heavy clouds, no frogs.

Harold goes to school
Well, today was a very special day indeed. Steve visited Westfield school in Haverhill to tell all the children about everybody's favourite platypus. In case you're still wondering who that is, it's me of course! Harold. Steve read one of my best adventures, 'Harold on Safari'. There are lots of animals in this book and everyone liked the cheeky monkey best. For those of you who haven't read this book yet, the monkey is very cheeky indeed and he even runs away with my camera!
The children asked lots and lots of interesting questions. I hope Steve answered them all and told everyone how great it is to live with a platypus. Some of the children had some excellent ideas for new adventure stories. I particularly like the ideas about a bonfire adventure and an adventure playing football (though I would of course have to play for Liverpool and not West Ham!). I think Steve also told the children about one of my new adventures, 'Harold the Pirate' and there were some really good ideas for the name of the dog in the story. I think we will use one of these names in the book!
While Steve was at school, Charlie and me were busy getting ready for our pirate adventure (did Steve tell anyone that Mandy has to walk the plank? If you see Mandy don't tell her because I don't think she will be very pleased!) Maybe next time I should go along to school with Steve. Maybe Charlie could come along as well?
I must go now and have a glass of milk and a cheese and pickle sandwich before bedtime. Speak to you all soon. Love Harold xx

Bonfire night
I love bonfire night!
I had a great idea to strap Charlie to a rocket, so that he could last off into space. He didn't get the chance to go into space in my last adventure 'Harold in space' where I went onto the space shuttle (www.haroldtheplatypus.co.uk).
So, we went outside into the garden. I had some string and the rocket. I tied Charlie to the rocket, and we were all ready to go. But oh no how do we make the rocket go? "Matches" Charlie shouted. "I don't think we are allowed matches", I said. "That's exactly right", said Mandy, "what are you two up to?"
"Untie Charlie straight away please", said Mandy. "You must be super careful with fireworks they can be very dangerous. They are not made for launching little bears into space!" Charlie thinks he'll never get into space. Maybe we'll have to go back to the Houston Space Centre when they start selling my book - Harold In space!
Off to right our names in the air with super dooper sparklers and a cheese and pickle sandwich before bed!
