Rockpooling

An excellent afternoon's fun was had by me, twinkletoes and MightyShark at Osmington beach. We ate our picnic lunch sitting on a rock, spectating life in the nearest tidal pool. And then spent several hours delving into various other rockpools and looking under stones. There were plenty of crabs of various sorts, including the somewhat scary-looking Hairy Porcelain Crab. Only somewhat scary, because he was barely bigger than a 10p. Many shrimps and small fish were caught - and then returned to their pools. And we met a man off the telly who was harvesting seaweed and who told us how to make vegetarian pannacotta using carrageen. Hmm. Maybe we'll try harvesting some carrageen on our next visit...

Market

Today we went to market and I bought some orange shoes and mighty shark brought some dark blue crocs.(he has put a picture of them)

Watering Plants

Yesterday we went to Granny's house and watered her plants as she is on holiday in France. We picked some tomatoes and beans and took them home with us, they are really yummy! As we were picking the tomatoes we saw a little frog sitting in the corner of the green house, we tried to catch him but he kept jumping about!

I was going to tidy my room but I didn't have time!

market day

i went to the market today and i got some crocs. i like them.

We're all going on a summer holiday...

Well, here we are: school summer holidays 2010. In fact, we're not going anywhere for the moment - we are "staycationing" and trying to spend as little as possible. Free activities so far have included camping in the garden (reasonably successful, apart from MightyShark thinking it was breakfast time at 5am), paddling in the river, fighting (currently one of twinkletoes' and MightyShark's favourite pastimes) and watching your parents cut the hedge. Less free activities include travelling by train with our new Family and Friends Railcard. Railway travel is a bit of a novelty for twinkletoes and MightyShark, so we will enjoy this novelty value while it lasts and beat the tourist traffic jams.

PS: twinkletoes has still not tidied her room...

Mighty Shark

Mightyshark is having a tantrum because he has been on the computer for too long.

Monday

Slept in a tent last night and didn't get much sleep because of Mighty Shark, who kept me up most of the night saying he was hungry or wanted to play a game.

Sunday

We are going on a walk and then I have to TIDY MY ROOM(!!!).

First Day Of The Summer Hols!

Went to Poole on the train and bought loads of stuff in Primark. Two pairs of flipflops for £1.50! Missed the train going home and had to wait another half an hour, I just pressed the open button for the door of the train and the train started moving!
