It's the year of the platypus!

Steve said that in China they name each year after a different animal.
Next year, 2013, is the year of the snake!
Charlie is scared of snakes (and so am I a little bit, but ssssshh don't tell anyone!).
So we've decided (well mainly me, but it was my idea!) that this year will be the year of the Platypus! (In Cambridge anyway!)
How cooooool is that?
If Charlie is really good all year (what are the chances of that?) we might make next year the year of the Teddy Bear.
See you later all you Platty lovers

No big sleep in!

Normally during the hollibobs Mandy lets me and Charlie stay in bed later in the mornings.
No alarm clocks, no dashing about in the mornings, plenty of playing games in our jim jams - lovely I thought........but I'd forgotten about Jessie.
Our dog Jessie needs to be taken for a walk in the morning before her breakfast.
Which means ......... yes you've guessed it!
Well we've just got back from walking Jessie. I'm covered in mud but I did get a juicy dog lick and lots of waggy tails.
Off for my second breakfast......

Wiggo is knighted!

Steve said that Wiggo had been knighted.
How is he going to ride his bike wearing all that armour?  It's going to make it tricky!
Off to make some swords for me and Charlie so we can play knights.....

Santa's mobile phone number anyone?

Heeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllppppppp!
Has anyone got Santa's mobile phone number? I really, really need it!
I've thought of some extra things for my Christmas list and Steve says there isn't time to send a new list to Santa before Christmas Eve - disaster!
So I've come up with a fab rescue plan, I can text him!
How cool is that?
So if you've got Santa's number please send it to haroldtheplatypus@gmail.com as soon as you can.....

Have I won sports personality of the year?

Me and Charlie have been allowed to stay up late to watch Sports Personality of the Year.
I secretly thought I might have won after my fab swimming in Harold wins Gold.
But when I didn't get invited to the show I began to doubt that I had won.
Glad I didn't tell anyone I thought I'd won now!
Who do you think is going to win?
I can't decide there are loads a really good people that could win it.
Wiggo, Mo, the Weir wolf, Ben Ainslie........
Off to bed....

My Talking book is finally here

Steve was taking me and Charlie to a birthday party yesterday.
We climbed into the car and Steve put a CD in the player
Normally he asks us what we'd like to listen to, but not today
Oh dear, we thought, it will be some boring stuff Steve wants to listen to
We couldn't have been more wrong.
We were chatting to each other when I heard mine and Charlie's names mentioned
We stopped talking straight away and listened
It was Harold Saves Christmas being read out loud by a proper actor!
http://www.spotlight.com/interactive/cv/cv.asp?ref=M156325&pub=1
What a really cool surprise.
It sounds really good, I feel all Christmassy now
Will have to listen to Harold on safari (the other story on the CD) tomorrow. We can't wait.
Off to read along to the CD of Harold saves Christmas (I can't get enough of that story!)
