Tuesday 19th June 2007
Came back from England on Saturday after a ten day stay at nanny's house. I got a bit bored there sometimes so had to make my own entertainment. This consisted of chasing the cat, throwing all manner of things through the cat flap into the garden, preferably hitting the cat with those flying objects, bashing the toilet door with a foot pummice, pouring myself a sherry and breaking the plug in the bathroom. Sometimes I jumped a bit too energetically onto mummy's lap and spilled whatever was in her hand at the time, so there was lots of mopping up of red wine. Nanny got a bit cross with me because I was so naughty.
Mummy bought lots of films in second hand shops. We got The Cat in the Hat, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, My Fair Lady, The Jungle Book and the Wizard of Oz. I liked Chitty Chitty Bang Bang best. The Wizard of Oz was a bit scary but not too scary. Dinasaurs are scarier.
Uncle Steve came on Saturday and then we all went to Hackney to see nanny bounce on Sunday. Aunty Sandra and Uncle Alan were there too. Aunty Sandra is very kind and gave me lots of books. Nanny Bounce is lovely and cuddly. I played with Alison in the park while they went for a Chinese meal. Then I needed a poo but the public toilets in the park did not meet my Swiss influenced hygienic expectations. So I held it in til mummy came and took us back to nanny bounce's.
On Monday we met Josh and his mummy and dadddy, Chuck and Inky, at Finsbury Park. Chuck looked after me and Josh, who is my age and also a very good climber. The park was great but I couldn't help kicking sand in other small children's faces. Mummy found out and made me apologise to all the children crying, and their mummies. Mum and Inky bought chicken and chips at Nandos and we had a front room feast. Josh has a cool electric piano and big remote controlled cat truck, which I played with a lot. He speaks English and Icelandic!
Highlight of trip was visit to Victoria, where Gena and Thomas Henry were staying in a big flat. On Wednesday 13th we stayed the night there. Little Billy, Rick's boy, came over with his mum and dad and we ran up and down the corridor and shouted a lot. Went out for a ridiculously expensive pizza. It was yummy. Mummy slept in the same bed as me and I managed to make her fall out three times by taking up all the space. She was very tired the next day. So was I, but I managed to have a big kip the next day in my push chair. I let Gena and Thomas Henry push me as I felt they deserved it the most. Thomas Henry ran very fast during his pushing sessions, which was quite exciting but got mummy all worried.
We went to the National History Museum and saw lots of big dinasaurs. I held on to mummy tight when t-rex roared at us. He looked like he wanted a small George snack. We were sad to say goodbye to Gena and Thomas Henry but said we would visit them soon in America.
We also visited the Dene city farm in Morden, which just had a few chickens and a horse, and Donnyngs adventure playground in Reading, which was less of an adventure than my back garden. We thought it would be like he bouncy castle place in Payerne but it was just a load of mats on the floor and a few squishy shapes to climb on. Mummy bought me a long purple sausagy thing to take in the pool, which was great, and I spent some time hitting her and Alison with it, which made all the other children laugh. I really am rather funny.
On Sunday night Alison got in bed with me because I was crying but she soon started to leave again. I only managed to entice her to stay by letting her put her hand in the opening to the quilt, my special pocket. Noone can resist that. We miss daddy a lot.
I made Alison mad by saying the house was mine and mummy's but not hers. She made me stand outside the back door, which was disturbing for a second, but later said she was sorry. We have a new au pair, Ciara, who will be taking over from Alison when she goes back to her mummy and daddy's house in Canada. Ciara is nice and gentle and cut the lawn and cleaned the house while we were away. She is from Michigan in the US. I will miss Alison but I will keep loving her and she says she will visit us again next year. I hope so. She is my best friend.
