It's been a lazy morning, watching TV, reading books, playing computer games (my favorite is Super Mario). This afternoon we are meeting Merle and Lelia, and their mum and dad Faryal and Falk at the butterfly sanctuary, the Papiliorama. Haven't been there for ages. Our friend and former au pair Alison once got lost in the Nocturama, the stinky dark dome with nocturnal animals. She got lost in the bat cave and came out almost in tears. But it was quite funny at the time. Every time you go in there a bat flies in your hair, which is a bit scary!
Yesterday we went to the library and took back our books, then went to get some shopping. At the Migros you get a Nano, a little pellet shaped character with a magnet in, every time you spend 20 francs. So mum got five and I bought a Nano track with my pocket money so they could race with each other. I got two lots of two the same so will now try to do swaps with my school mates.
In the afternoon we went for a bike ride and along the cycle path, beavers had been very busy chopping down trees and making dams. There was a huge fat toad in one of the pools of the river. Mummy thought it was poorly - it was so bloated that it couldn't keep its balance in the water. I wanted to take it home and save it but mum thought it would be better off where it was so we left it. I got tired going up our hill so mummy had to push my bike. Still a bit sick from this cold.
Daddy is studying a lot for his degree and seems to enjoy that. At the moment he is writing an essay about terrorism. We are living in interesting times because Tunisia and Egypt had revolutions against the leadership and overthrew their presidents. Now Bahrain and Libya are having a go, In Bahrain the army has been called off and the government seems ready to compromise. In Libya the leader Gadaffi has sent the army out to shoot the protestors and more than a hundred people have died. Mum and dad say this will change the course of history - these revolutions.
Mummy went to Kosovo for a week and has written three articles for her website. There is a special dossier for her stories. She now has to make two films. Her bosses said they liked the work.
I managed to be good all week and on Friday mum and dad gave me some brilliant shoes which light up when you stamp your feet.
