Half Day Delight

Grandad turned up a little later this morning and when he did, I had a big surprise for him!! After the usual kiss, hugs and all that mullarky, I took grandad upstairs to show him my bed. Mummy asked Uncle Steve to make my bed which I thought a bit odd as mummy always makes my bed by fluffing up my pillow and cover but Uncle Steve really made my bed - he's made me a brand new bed in the shape of a big red bus. It's brilliant and there's room upstairs for my mates to sleep over or even that girl in the pink dress in her buggy in town or even for grandad to sleep over - oh, maybe not grandad on the top bunky bit as he'll break it. Grandad thought it was brilliant and went off to get his sleeping bag!!!

On the way to grandad's, we took a detour (thats American for 'took a different route') and we ended up at Nanna's school. Grandad had some old paper in the boot for the painting weasles so the paint doesn't get on the floor, walls and Miss Tanner who grandad calls Dolly. Nanna said we could go into the school to take the paper in and a little boy – not much bigger than me – looked up at grandad and said “I’m Oscar”. Grandad said hello and then Oscar pointed to a boy with a vacant expression on his face and said “…..and this is Daniel”. Grandad said hello to Daniel, then smiled at them as we made a hasty retreat to the safety of Nanna and Dolly. In the school, all the grown-ups said hello to me and grandad and I know its because we’re famous. It would be nice to just get on with everyday life at my age but I understand the burdens of stardom and the duty I owe for my fame. Miss Tanner and another lady were outside making a volcano and they said they were going to make it spew lava later on. The lady who lives near me makes me spew so I could be mistaken for a volcano too.

After we left the school, we went to the bakehouse and grandad asked for some rolls from the lady who I called a man. As he went to pay, I shouted out “RABBIT” as I noticed the gingerbread version staring back at me from the counter with that cute little Smartie eye and a waistcoat of pure chocolate. We paid the lady I called a man and left to go home.

At home grandad made some biscuits that looked like cowpats and to be honest, tasted pretty much like them too. After dinner, we went outside and had a chat with Mick. Now Mickis the neighbourhood watch type man, there is nothing that he doesn’t see in grandad’s road and with both Mick and grandad in the area, all the residents rest easy in the knowledge that their properties are safe from baddies – or so they hoped! Mrs Mick came out to ask grandad if he’d seen anyone strange in their road on Friday. A very odd question as ALL the people in grandad’s road are strange!!! Grandad said he hadn’t seen anyone and Mrs Mick explained that they had a parcel from Amazon delivered (an endangered tree from the rain forest I assumed) and the man had left a note:

“PARCEL LEFT IN GARAGE”

Mrs Mick then said a second note read:

“PARCEL NOT LEFT IN GARAGE. LEFT WITH No.5”

This puzzled both Mr and Mrs Mick for the simple reason that they LIVE at No.5!!!! Grandad and Mick looked at each other not knowing what to say, so they said nothing and Mrs Mick went inside. I played with Mick and stuffed my hands up his jumper then ran around on his grass. Mrs Mick came out again to watch me jumping on her flowers and then went back in again without saying a word.

Mummy and Rosie popped over to have a cuppa before they took me home. Now mummy and Rosie seemed to have eaten the same type of food as they both look the same. Rosie told grandad that she had three weeks to go – three weeks to go where? Mummy said that she had a week longer to go – TO GO WHERE??? If I find out that they’ve all gone out whilst I’m at work with the childkeepers, I won’t be a happy bunny. Hey, Happy bunny? WHERE’S MY GINGERBREAD RABBIT????

Enough for this week

Catch you later
