Are you on the right time?

Well you know I told you that me and Charlie had two breakfasts yesterday because the clocks changed......
It turns out we were on the wrong time ALL day!
It took us ages to work it out.
It turns out that at bedtime on Saturday night Steve changed the clocks all ready for Sunday. Then when we got up on Sunday morning Mandy changed the clocks. So that added up to the clocks being turned back by two hours rather than just one!
If only me and Charlie had realised we could have had two breakfasts and two treat times! Wouldn't that be great, we will have to remember that trick for next year!
Off to see if there are any more clocks that need changing............

Clocks changing

Steve said that the clocks were changing today.
'In to what?' I thought. What could the clocks possibly be changing in to?
It turns out the clocks weren't changing into anything at all. Steve explained that the clocks were going back an hour because the winter is coming.
That means we get an hour on Sunday twice! How cool is that...
Steve said we could choose.
Well me and Charlie decided to have between 8 and 9 o'clock twice, so we could have two lots of pancakes for breakfast!! Great idea eh?
The first round was with bananas and the second with syrup as we didn't have room for any more banana! What a great start to to the day
Off to sleep the pancakes off.....

Bonkers conkers!

Have you got your conkers at the ready? Me and Charlie have!
We heard on the radio that it is the World Conker Championships in Scotland soon (how cooool), but they are short of conkers - disaster!
Well me and Charlie have been collecting them so if you are wanting to take part in the World Championships let us know and we can pop some in the post for you.
Off to practise with my conkers......

Book launch!

I said I would let you know when my book arrived, well IT'S HERE!!! Charlie's first day at school is available.
I'm so excited it looks really, really, really great.
I thought it might be quite good but it's better than I even dreamed. Seeing my name on the front in lovely big letters was very exciting and the really cool drawings of me and my friends are awesome!
Steve has already sold quite a few books this weekend, so there will be children reading my story as I write this........
I think I might need my own page on the website now?
Off to ask Steve if I can have my own area on www.haroldtheplatypus.co.uk...

Dog lick!

As you all know me and Charlie have a dog called Jessie that we have been training with cheese.
We think that someone has been training her secretly......
We think that someone has been training her to get you up in the morning by licking you on the cheek! Urghhhh my cheek is wet with dog lick!!!
Mind you it did wake me up pretty quickly.
Steve said that Jessie wasn't allowed in the bedrooms.
When me and Charlie went to bed I hid her under my quilt so that she could sleep on the bottom of my bed!
Charlie said that was naughty, but I really wanted to snuggle with Jessie - its like having a hot water bottle in the bed with you!
What I wasn't expecting was being covered in dog lick in the morning. She gets very excited in the morning just before her morning walk.
Well I'm off to wash the dog lick off my cheeks, and everywhere else......

Still waiting for My first book

Charlie here.
I just wanted to let you all know about the new book that Steve has written about my first day at school. I'm so excited!
I'm sure that some of you will have started school recently. But I bet you don't sit next to a polar bear called Snowflake - I do! She's my new school friend.
I think Fran B (she did the really cool drawings) is almost as excited as me to see the books. She's going to come over so we can look at the book together.
I will let you know when they have arrived. Until then please be good at school!

Talking book?

Steve announced today that we are going to have a talking book.
I didn't know what a talking book was, so Steve had to explain
An actor will be reading one of the Harold and Charlie adventure books out loud. It will be recorded so that little boys and girls can enjoy listening to the story as well as reading it. How exciting!
The actors name is David Gurney (he will be in a Scottish play in Reading called Macbeth soon, so he must be good!).
I've had to interview lots of actors to make sure that we get the very best. You can find out more about David by pressing on the link below....

Off to decide which of our exciting adventures David is going to read.....
