Who Needs a Walking Stick?

Yesterday at the shopping centre, I saw an old man with a trolley and a walking stick. Now, he wasn't actually using that walking stick, in fact, he had put his stick in the trolley and was running along pushing the trolley with utmost ability!

Well, I think that the man looked like he was having the time of his life speeding around the shopping centre. It reminds me of those people in the little old person buggies, that hoon around the streets. It makes me laugh every time I see them hahahahahahahahaha!

Gotta go. Bye!

Lion Tiger Cubs and Their Foster Mum!

On the news I heard something about lion cross tiger cubs that were abandoned by their mother, then united  with a dog that had just had a litter of pups herself. The cubs went straight to the milk. There is a page of information and a video clip here......

Fireboy and Watergirl

When my cousin told me about this game, I thought she was crazy to think that I might like it. But now here I am telling you guys all about it. So here it is.....

It's a computer game where the character Watergirl can only touch water and the character Fireboy can only touch fire. Oh, and there's also a little bit of mud that they both can't touch.

It's like an obstacle course with puddles of water, fire and mud that you have to jump over.

If you'd like to have a go then here's a link to it.....

Gyuto Monks from Tibet

Yesterday I went to Crystal Castle and there were Gyuto Monks and they helped me to make a happy flag. They said that "when the breeze blows the flag, it will spread happiness around the world".

I enjoyed the making of the flag because it was calming to paint on the material and the Monks were so calm that they made me feel the same way.

Male Seahorses Giving Birth.

Today I found out that male seahorses can actually give birth to their young! That must come in handy for all those guys that want a kid of their own. That's pretty amazing.

If you want to see it happening, go to this link....

Moths or Butterflies? The differences that I've noticed...

1) Moths fold their wings over their body, whereas butterflies do not.

2) Butterflies fly by flapping their wings up and down, but moths sort of vibrate their wings back and forth.

3) Butterflies are most active by day whereas moths are more so at night.

That's all, so good day.

A Farrier Comes to Put Amber's Shoes On!

Yesterday Amber got her shoes put on and I was there to experience it all. Now I'm here to tell you all about it.

Brumbies usually have tough hooves but because of all the rain (and there was lots of it) Amber's hooves went soft on the inside.

When horses need their feet done, a special person, called a farrier, comes to do the job for you. This process will be hard to explain so I've got some photos to go along with it.

When the farrier did the back legs, he stretched Amber's leg around the outside of himself, and he himself was right under Amber! ....



Here's a photo of me riding Amber! ....



Now that I think about it, it's much easier for us to get new shoes than it is for horses to.

Bye.

Look out for Mr. Gu.....[BANG!!!!] "Ouch!" Said Mr. Gum. That was a mean fairy, hitting Mr. [BANG!!!] Gum with a [BANG!!!] frying pan! She hits him a lot.

I'm talking about a book called You're a Bad Man Mr. Gum. There is a whole series of Mr. Gum books and I think they're really funny.

There is also a little girl called Polly and a man with the name of the last day of the week ..... Friday!

If you want to find out more, then there is only one thing left to do ..... READ!!!

A Trapeze in My Bedroom

This may seem a little......... let's say, strange, but I have a trapeze in my bedroom.
If you don't have a clue of what a trapeze is then read on, but if you do then I suggest not. You can if you want to ( but it would be pretty boring if you ask me.)

Well a trapeze is a wooden bar connected to two ropes (strong) at the ends, and the ropes are connected to the ceiling parallel to each other.

Now some of you may be wondering why I have a trapeze in my room so here it is: I do aerial circus, which is swinging off a trapeze and sheets of material, so it's pretty important that I can practise,

What I like about having a trapeze in my room is that if its raining I can hang on it and not get wet. Some people have theirs outside and if it's raining then it's a wasted day.

I have to go, so good bye for now.
