Nursing a headache.

I expect you have been wondering where I have been for the past few weeks. Well it has been a bit of a roller coaster ride one way and another. The last time I posted here I was about to start my new job wasn’t I? I had always dreamt of being an Airline pilot so I was really excited when I went for my first day of the training. However, I was I for a big disappointment they told me my legs were too short to reach the foot controls!!!! So it was back to my second choice of career an interior designer. After all I love messing about with wood, paint and glue especially after watching so many episodes of "60 minute Makeover". Shirley said it would be a good idea for me to start with a project of my own to make sure I really wanted to go down that career path. So I watched a few more episodes of "60 minute Makeover" to get some ideas.

I was in for a real surprise. They were making over a little girls bedroom on an Alice in Wonderland theme and for the pelmet decorations they used Croquet mallets and Hedghogs and who should be up there was my mate Hedgie and his mum I had been wondering what he had been up to since I last saw him.
After a lot of thinking and planning I decided to convert the cold frame in the Shirley’s garden into a cottage for Pip, Candy and me to live in. It is lovely living in the same house as Colin and Shirley but sometimes I feel that they get fed up with us and the mess we make. The conversion involved a lot of measuring, wood cutting and climbing up ladders.

I had just got up to the roof when ‘CRASH’ the ladder slipped and I ended up on the ground.


The next thing I know I am waking up in hospital with a very sore head with a big bandage wrapped around it!

I was in hospital for a few days but I am now home again and even though my head still aches a bit I am feeling a lot better. Of course it means that all my building plans have been put on hold for now as Pip as told me I am not to go up any ladders for quite some time.
Sitting here reading books with Candy I must admit I agree with Pip.

Trying out my new mode of transport.

So sorry I have not posted here for a while but I have been busy trying to find a new mode of transport. Pip's car sold very quickly and I was left with no way of getting about. I have also been looking for a job. I did not realise how expensive it is to have a new baby in the family!!! However, I did manage to get to a craft show at Alexandra Palace with Shirley and to give Pip a bit of peace and quiet I took Candy along with me.
We met a lovely lady called Dyan and she was getting all messy with lots of paints, inks and sprays. She let me sit on her roll of kitchen towel and gave me a book to read. She makes some really lovely things.
Candy had great fun at lunch time but I am not sure Hedgie was enjoying it as much as her!
Here is a group shot when Koala joined us. I was hoping to meet up with all the toys this weekend but sadly Shirley has been poorly so we did not make it! I expect they will all have photos of what they got up to on their blogs very soon.
Here is a clue to my new way of travelling around. Not too sure about the colour or the name on top but it was the only one I could find that would fit me!
Here are 2 video clips of my new Scooter.

Not only does it have a good roaring engine it also makes a funky beat sound too!

I will need it now I have got a new job but I will tell you about that next time.
