Well I am now officially 18 months old! Soon I will be able to reach the pedals on my trike! Dad's been working from home the last couple of weeks which is great 'cos I get double cuddles from both mum and dad every day.

I have been helping dad remove weeds from the garden. He pulls out particular types and I pull out everything else that is growing nearby. He shakes his head and laughs so I know I am doing well. Mummy and I play this game where she watches a favorite programme on TV and I turn it off. She says 'No George' and turns it back on again, and then I turn it off immediately and so on - this can lasts for hours and is great fun.

It's been raining quite a bit here in Dompierre which has meant our trips to the beach and swimming pool have stopped for a while. We watched our neighbour Gaby play the guitar and sing last week at a local event in the next village, he is very good and I danced and ran around wildly, shrieking very loudly.

Auntie Lori rang us from Swaziland to make sure that we hadn't been in London and involved in the terrible bombings that happened there last week. She is very thoughtful. I hope that all these bad things around the world stop soon. I must go as I have many things to play with before bedtime...bye for now.
