Good weather for ducks?

Well it hardly seems to have stopped raining recently. I was out today and overheard someone say that it was good weather for ducks while nodding in my direction. I think they must have thought I was a duck. Well I might be called a duck billed platypus and I might have a beak like a duck, but I'm a platypus and platypuses are much cooler than ducks don't you think? I am loving the wet weather, jumping in the small puddles and swimming in the big puddles. Poor Charlie has to wear wellies when he goes out in the rain, though they are very smart wellies! He also has to carry an umbrella to keep his fur dry. I'm sure Charlie wishes he was a platypus like me. I'm sure everyone would like to be a platypus! What do you think? You can always visit me on the interweb to let me know (www.haroldtheplatypus.co.uk). Off for a swim. Laters H xx

Ooooooooh look it's the Olympic torch!

Cor did you see the Olympic torch? It has just started its journey around the UK today - this sounds very exciting!
Mandy says that this is the torch that will be used to light the Olympic flame in the Summer.

This reminds me of when me and a dragon lit the flame to start World Sports Day in my latest adventure Harold Wins Gold - check it out by following this link thingy http://tinyurl.com/.

I bet they don't have a real dragon at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics like I did, but I'm sure it was still be really cool.
Just off to see if anyone needs a hand carrying the torch.....

Seals!!!

It's been so exciting this weekend! As I told you in my last blog me and Charlie were going to the beach this weekend.
We managed to get our beach hut all set up with our favourite drinks and sweets and we were just settling down to a nice cheese and pickle sandwich, when Charlie noticed something moving in the water.
Last year Charlie got binoculars for his birthday and he's always looking through them! He's always imagining that he has seen all sorts of exciting things like the loch ness monster..... So as usual I ignored him and went off for my first swim of the year.
I was just doing a bit of back stroke when I felt something swim past me. Suddenly there was something that looked a bit like a dog right next to me. I have to tell you, it gave me a bit of a fright. So Charlie had seen something in the water.
"Hello, there" said the doggy thing, "what on earth are you, I've never seen anything like you before!"
"I'm a platypus of course! My name is Harold. Are you a dog? You're a very good swimmer. Almost as good as me!"
"I'm a seal, my name is Hector, and I bet I'm a better swimmer than you!".
We raced up and down the channel. I won every time, well nearly every time, well once!
Gosh I'm ready for a big ice cream now, followed by a cheese and pickle sandwich, of course!
