Pay ATTENTION!

We know Holly rarely attends to the job in hand, but today at 12:30 she discovered that she hadn't bothered to take off her pyjama top when dressing...!

Burrator Filth

We went to Burrator Reservoir and had a barbecue and squelch!

Daddy is not sure why goggles were needed.

Novellists

Holly and Rosie are collaborating on a 'novel' in which max the cat is magic and Granny Barbara doesn't die....



Report

Holly challenged Rosie to write an interesting report about something boring:

Lucy's Mum

Daddy: "I don't think I've ever seen Lucy's mum."
Holly: "Well she's got long straight blonde hair..."
Daddy: "Like Mummy."
Rosie: "Yes. Except BLONDE."

Toy Story 3

We saw Toy Story 3 today. Rosie and Daddy had a proper cry! Holly was seen to have tears in her eyes, but denied everything.

Taste

Rosie: "The reason I like The Specials is that they have song names that sound really boring, like,'Much Too Young' sounds really boring, but the way they sing it they make it sound really exciting!"

SMASH!

Oops...!

Holly has smashed one of her front teeth in half at the Quaywest Waterworld. Not by flying off of a flume or diving into the pool bottom, but by turning around too quickly and walloping her face on a handrail.

Now she describes herself as a Cyber-Tooth Tiger, which is odd, given that she thinks cyberspace is called cider-space.

Sparrowhawk

After rescuing a stunned sparrow today, Daddy told Rosie about the time a sparrowhawk flew into Nan and Bob's living room, but couldn't remember how they got it out again.

Rosie: "I expect Nana did it, because probably Bob had one too many cups of whiskey...!"

Red Wine

Mummy and Daddy were enjoying a nice bottle of wine while we were all out to dinner.

Rosie: "Are you two finished getting drunk yet...!?"

Wavelength

Holly and Daddy are on the same wavelength.

Holly: "I spy with my little eye, something beginning with W."
Daddy: "Warning?"
Holly: "Yes. I spy with my little eye something beginning with M."
Daddy: "Microbe?"
Holly: "Yes."
