Sitting with my new friend

Sitting with my new friend

What a tiring day we have had! Caz went to Hatfield House to take some family heirlooms to the Antiques Roadshow which was being held there. What she didn’t realise was how long she would have to queue up to be seen! Her poor feet were very achy after five ours of standing up! Then she had a horrid drive home in all the rush-hour motorway traffic.

Luckily for a small dragon, I was able to ride along in the bag, and I had a new friend to keep me company. This is Aurthur the bear. Caz took a shine to him as he was looking for a new home. I’m sure he will get along very well with Leo, he’s a very cultured sort of bear and knows lots about Antiques.

Day 179 – Ice Cool Ice-Bat

Poor old Ice-Bat has really been suffering in the heat the last few days. So today I suggested that perhaps he should take an ice bath to cool down. He thought it was a great idea, and despite the look on his face, he was really enjoying himself, splashing about between the ice cubes!

Day 171 – Farewell To Horatio

Bye Bye Horatio Hog!

Bye Bye Horatio Hog!

Me, Leo and Mr Duck were at Science Hack all weekend with Caz and her geeky mates.

While we were there, we met Horatio Hog, who was just about to take his humans (Nat and Simon, another couple of geeky friends) on an 18-month journey around the globe. He was very excited about all the travel.

While the humans said goodbye to all their friends, we chatted with Horatio and hoped that he has a great adventure.

We had a lovely time today at the local park where they had a wildlife day. We stroked some owls, and there was a huge snake and tarantulas! Leo and me also met this rather nice Robin who wanted to be friends.

Day 147 – Dragon Pocket

Still room for me!

Still room for me!

Caz had to buy a new rucksack today, because the zip on her old one broke. Of course, I went along to help her choose another one, and to make sure there was a suitable Dragon Pocket available for when I need a ride.

This is the one we got. Do you like it? Gordon The Gecko did, so he decided to migrate from the old bag to the new one to keep me company.

Day 146 – Games Night

Whose turn is it next?

Whose turn is it next?

This evening, Caz met some friends in the pub for a natter. Me and Leo went along too because we knew there would be some friends for us to have fun with. The pub has lots of games to play, so we decided to have a go at Scrabble with Adam the Lego man and his tortoise mates Claude and Marcus.

Adam is putting down his tile to finish the word Lego, and Leo’s spelling isn’t good (I’m sure ROR is wrong!). So I wonder what I can do with this Z?

Day 145 – Tug Of War

HEEEEEAVE!

HEEEEEAVE!

Thank goodness it was a bit cooler today! But this also meant the Uglies were in the mood for mischief and were getting very excitable indoors. So I suggested they have a Tug of War to get rid of some of their excess energy.

Jeero insisted on being a team captain, and Wage organised the other side. To make it a bit more interesting, they had to tug hard so their first man didn’t fall down the hole in the middle!

I thought I was a very fair umpire, but in the end, Jeero’s team won. He got very excited then and was jumping up and down shouting "We winned! We Winned!"
