New Years resolutions

On our car ride into school we heard that funny man, what's his name Charlie?? Oh yes that's right Chris Evans, talking about New Years Resolutions and about how most people have given them up already! 

Well I thought this would be a good time to make a resolution and then I will have beaten everyone else... Hee hee.....

When I asked Mandy for some ideas, she said that I should make a resolution to be good. 

She reminded me about how worried I was when me and Charlie went to see Santa, in case I wasn't on the Good List... Mandy said that it was very close but I must have just sneeked onto it. 

Where would the fun be in being good ALL year?

Then a brilliant idea hit me! 

My New Years Resolution is 

         'To not get caught being naughty!'

Brilliant eh? 

Mandy didn't think so but grown ups aren't always right you know.....

Off to pretend to be good.......

Possibly my biggest fan?

Yesterday at West Wickhams' Christmas fair Steve met someone who could well be my biggest fan.
Emma Louise already had four of my books. She persuaded her dad to buy the last three, so she now has a full set!
Steve was about to tell what happens in my latest adventure Harold the Pirate but was told not to spoil it as she was looking forward to reading it herself!!!
I think Emma Louise might be a famous author herself when she grows up, as she has come up with lots of ideas of adventures for me.
What do you think about Harold the Time Travelling Platypus???
Got to go, just thought of some more ideas for my Christmas list.......

Dino bear.......

Dino bear
Steve has been asked to write a new book about dinosaurs...... So me and Charlie have decided to find about them.
There are lots of different kinds and they all have funny names that can be a bit tricky to say. My favourite is Tyrannosaurus rex.
Steve is going to take us to dinosaur world so that we can all find out more about dinosaurs to help with the new book. Maybe when we go I will call myself H Rex and Charlie could be Dino Bear????
We're so excited, we'll both have to practise our big ROARs
I wonder what other cool things dinosaurs got up to.....

Why do doggies wag their tail?

Why do doggies wag their tails?
I nearly got knocked over the other day by Jessie wagging her tail.
I asked Mandy why Jessie wags her tail so much (I think she must have the waggiest tail in the world) Mandy says they wag their tails when they are happy....
I'm not so sure. I don't wag my tail when I'm happy and poor Charlie hasn't even got a tail!
But I hope it is true because that would make Jessie one of the happiest dogs in the world :)

Jessie's birthday....

Jessie's birthday
We've had  our doggie Jessie a year today!
We love her so much we can't remember what life was like before we had her.
Me and Charlie wanted to get a Colin the Caterpillar cake (we all have yummy Colin the Caterpillar cakes when it's our birthdays), but Mandy said chocolate can make doggies poorly...... So we are going to have secret Colin the Caterpillar cake for us, whoopee! and a cake made out of doggie biscuits for Jessie.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Jessie, happy birthday to you. Hip, hip, hooray for Jessie!

Country fair....

Today we all went to a country fair.

There were lots of things to do and loads of people there. I had hoped to meet some other platypuses but there were none there. 

There was a doggie competition though so I entered Jessie. 

We had to walk around the competition ring and do some tricks, like the ones we do at puppy training classes. 

We won two rosettes! 

Well when I say we I really mean me!

Jessie was so happy she give me a big wet lick on the face - yuck!

I said to the man judging the competition that next year they should have a competition for the best platypus at the show........

David's playing bottom!

Did I mention in a previous blog that I now have an audio book?
Well just in case I didn't "I've got an audio book!"
Well the nice man, (David to his friends... He's a famous actor you know!) recorded two of my adventures onto a lovely shiny disc that Mandy can play in the car when we are on a long journey.
Well, Mandy and Steve were talking about an article written about my actor friend, it said "David Gurney's Bottom was excellent".
Well how rude.....
Mandy explained Bottom was the name of the character David was playing.
Charlie thought he must have been playing the back end of a pantomime horse!
Mandy explained that Bottom was the name of the character David was playing in a Midsummer nights dream a Shakespeare play. I wonder whether there are any platypuses in any of his plays???
He's now off to play Sherlock Holmes at the Edinburgh festival
It's a mystery where he gets the time...
Off to find out if Hamlet was a platypus...
