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!

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!)

Our Christmas tree is up!

Me and Charlie have spend all day today decorating our Christmas tree.
I think it is the best one ever!
Stanley came to turn the lights on as usual before he had to fly back to Greenland to help Santa get ready for Christmas.
Those of you that have read Harold Saves Christmas will know all about Stanley and how we, well mainly me, saved Christmas.
Off to see if I can squeeze a few more things onto my Christmas list.......

I HAVE BEEN GOOD SANTA!!!

Well its the second of  December.
Me and Charlie are well into our advent calendars (maybe a tiny bit more into them than Mandy and Steve realise - don't tell them!)
It's so exciting, I LOVE Christmas (I may have mentioned that before!)
Me and Charlie are insisting that Mandy and Steve read Harold Saves Christmas every night! We know it off by heart already!
Off to see if I can sneak another chocolate from Charlie's advent calandar! I wonder if Christmas will come quicker the more windows open on our calendars?? Something to think about.
The main thing, Justin case Santa is listening, is that we have been really, really, really, really, really good.

Big red nose

Well... Aaaaaatchoooooo! As you might be able to aaaaaaaaaatchooooooo! tell I've got a cold. It's a huge cold. It's tricky to have a small cold when you've got a beak as big as mine. Aaaaaaaatchooooooo! Steve isn't going to be very happy the keyboard is a bit sticky now -oops, I'll have to blame Charlie.
I've been lying in bed nearly all of the weekend, which is no fun. Me and Charlie haven't had a single adventure for what feels like ages. Aaaaaaaaatchoooooo! Gosh that one nearly blew my head off.
I've just looked in the mirror my nose is redder than Stanley's nose in Harold Saves Christmas. Check it out on www.haroldtheplatypus.co.uk. Aaaaaatchoooooo!
Off to bed to suck a hot lemon, and maybe a small cheese and pickle sandwich

Getting Christmas twice!

Mandy has been in China. Me and Charlie wanted to call her with our new phone but Steve said "no - it will be the middle of the night there, she'll be in bed". Now we know Mandy likes to have a nap now and again but it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon! We asked Steve to explain because it just didn't seem right. How could it be the middle of the night at 4 o'clock?
Steve explained about the time changes in other countries - it still sounds weird and a bit complicated for me. I just started getting the hang of it when I realised that's how it works on Christmas eve, otherwise there wouldn't have been enough time for me and Charlie to deliver all of the presents the year when Santa ate too many lovely mince pies and we saved Christmas!
Brainwave!
If me and Charlie went to Australia (that's where I'm from you know) on Christmas eve we could have Christmas there first, then we could dash back to Cambridge and have Christmas again - or more importantly presents all over again. How cool is that?
I'll have to run this by Mandy but I've got a good feeling in my beak!
Good night platy lovers

I'm on the interweb

Well, you could have knocked me over with a cheese and pickle sandwich! Steve's gone and written about one of my adventures and called it:
'Harold Saves Christmas'
I won't spoil the story for you as it's out there on the interweb!
So far Charlie has managed to find it in two places: www.amazon.com and www.authorhouse.co.uk
What an exciting start to the year. Steve says there's another story almost ready, but I'll tell you about that another day.
Happy reading everybody.
I'm off for a celebratory cheese and pickle sandwich and a glass of milk....
