More interweb magic

Mandy has been looking at the number of my fans that have been looking at my blog. It's terrific there are people all over the world that are following the daily adventures that me and Charlie have. There are even people in Russia keeping up to date with us. I may need to persuade Mandy and Steve to take us there on hollibobs, so that we can meet some of our fans. Me and Charlie had a look at Russia on the interweb. The writing looks funny we couldn't read any of the words. Hope the children in Russia don't have the same problems reading our adventures, as at the moment they are all written in English (maybe we need to get Steve on a course!). Mandy has put in an easy peasy lemon squeezy link for all my fans so that you never miss an update of my blog. Just look next to the blog for 'Join this site'. There is also a lovely link to my gorgeous website, where you can see some lovely pictures of me and Charlie (www.haroldtheplatypus.co.uk) Laters H X

I'm a trend setter!

I'm setting trends all over the place at the moment. Jubilee birthday celebrations........ It seems that even jubilee birthday celebrations have to come to an end, which is very sad. But I had a really cool time. I had such a great time that Steve has decided to copy me and he's having a jubilee birthday celebration like me. Garden Olympics........ Also my fans on Facebook have been telling me that they are going to copy me and Charlie and have their own garden Olympics. They got the idea when they were reading my new adventure Harold wins gold. Me and Charlie went to world sports day and.... You'll have to get the books to find out great stuff happened. This blog.... Thank you very much all you fans for reading my blog. It's great that you are all so interested in what me and Charlie are up to between our big adventures that Steve writes about. See you later H X

Birthday jubulations!

I'm really pleased I decided to have a jubilee rather than just a birthday, otherwise my birthday celebrations would almost be over. We've had a great day today at Nowton Park fair. There was a dog show with lots of lovely dogs. Mandy and Steve have been thinking about getting us a dog so we've been trying to decide what sort of dog we'd like. The problem is that we can't agree. I'd like a Big shaggy dog, but Charlie would like a little sausage dog. I wonder what you get if you cross a shaggy dog with a sausage dog?...... Off to have some birthday cake... Laters H X

England playing football

Platypusses aren't naturally good at football, but I do like watching it. Although I'm not sure I understand all of the rules or things the man on the telly says. "Gerrard is in space". No he wasn't I could see him. I know what space looks like after my adventure on the space shuttle when I was accidentally onboard when it was launched into space! It was very exciting. Gerrard didn't look very excited at all, he was just standing there on his own. I was all excited when England scored, and a bit sad when France scored. One goal each. Steve said this was a draw, but I didn't see any of them with pencils, no drawings at all in fact! The next England game is against Sweden. I'm not sure where that is so I'm off to have a look at the map on the study wall........

Even more excitement at the Jubilee celebrations!

There has been so much excitement over the Jubilee weekend I haven't had time to tell you all about brave, brave Charlie. There was a teddy bear parachute jump from our local church bell tower yesterday. I didn't think that Charlie would be brave enough to take part and that he would hide until it was all over. Everyone started to collect at the bottom of the tower to watch all of the brave teddies from the village. Just then Mandy said, "is that Charlie?". It was! "He's using a Marks and Spencer carrier bag as a parachute and he has got his smart orange swimming arm bands on (those of you that have read Harold and the mermaid will know how much Charlie loves his arm bands)!" Mandy covered her eyes and said she couldn't watch. "Jump, Charlie, jump, don't be scared", I shouted. Charlie did exactly that, he waved as he gently floated to the ground. The Marks and Spencer carrier bag did it's job very well! Much to everyone's surprise. Charlie was so brave I couldn't believe it, we were all so proud of him. He joined all of the other brave teddies to collect their medals. Charlie proudly showed everyone his medal. It wasn't as big and shiny as the gold medal I won at World Sports Day (Harold wins gold, you may have heard of it!), but it was still very nice. Well I need to go now as we are going to see the Jubilee beacon being lit! We've both had a nap this afternoon so that we won't be too tired being up so late. I'm too excited to be tired. I wonder whether they will let me light the beacon........ Laters H X

No more birthdays, it's jubilee all the way!

What are your plans for the Jubilee? Me and Charlie are going to see the flotilla which will be great, we're very excited (we love boats as you will know, and we are messing about in boats in our brand new adventure that will be available soon - Harold and the pirates!). As you all know it is my birthday in June. I know it's short notice but I have decided to make a change. The Queen seems to be having four days worth of parties. That's three days more partying than I normally get for a birthday. So it's jubilees all round! Go to go, off to find the flags! Have a great jubilee H X
