We found a new mouse!!!!!!!!!

We got a package today...... wonder what it is?  We're not expecting anything.....

OH!!!  OH WOW!!!

It's another Beanie that's found its way to our house!!!  And he brought choklit to nibble and a prezzie for Andrea!!!!!!!!

Everyone ran over to say hallo!!  We're not too sure who he is yet but we think it might be Kidney Beanie..... he got rather squished the the post and the inside of the packaging was damp so we think he peed himself on the way.  But that's OK, he's here now and we can go and eat the choklit be brought! That'll cheer him up!!!  (although we're a bit surprised he didn't eat it on the way....)

 

We got a Surprise!!!!

We got a little package in the mail today!!!!

Oh!!!  What is it???

It's a keychain!!! What's that on the end?

IT'S A MOUSIE!!!!!

But there's no note with it, and no return address on the envelope!  It's postmarked Weymouth.... hang on!  We've been to Weymouth!  Doesn't Arnty Bev live out that way??

I wonder if she sent it to us........

Cats, mice and super moons

When we left for work this morning we have a really big moon in the sky, called a super moon.  This one's wobbly though because Andrea wasn't awake when she took it

On the way, we have to walk through the Tesco car park to get to the bus stop.  Today, little Black Cat spotted us and raced over to say hello!!!  Then Cat walked us up the road a bit!!

We made a viddy oh of cat but you have to squint a bit because it's dark.

That's a better picture of the super moon!

On the way home, we spotted an abandoned mouse on a wall!!!

He looked totally lost!  So we brought him home!!

And then recognised him as our distant cousin String Beanie!!!!!  He must've walked for miles to get here!!!!!  (needs a bit of a scrub up, though....!)

We all sat down for a catch-up!!

I got a present!!

 Andrea got me a present out of one of those vending machines in the supermarket!!  It's a ball with Mickey on it!!!

 When we opened it up, there was loads of presents inside!!!

I got some wax crayons, a pencil, an eraser, a pencil sharpener and some pictures to colour in!!  How fun is that?!!!

Cyberstrology Year of The Mouse 2013

Personality of The Mouse
Mouses are inquisitive curious animals that enjoy travelling. They are very good at finding lost items on the floor and recycling them into new objects that can then be re-used. In fact, the Mouse invented The Green Movement currently in use amongst humans. Mouse has a healthy disrespect for authority and are known to have a wonderful sense of humour. They get on very well with everybody.
Mouses are interesting in finding things, making things out of found things, losing them for other people to find, eating cheese and chocolate (not necessarily at the same time), investigating new places and travelling around.  And bellydancing sometimes!

Famous Mice.
Mickey
Minnie
The Three Blind Mice
Jerry (friends with Tom, the cat)
DangerMouse
Mighty Mouse
Speedy Gonzalez

The Patron Saint of the Mouse is St Anthony of Padua.  He's the patron saint of lost things, seekers of lost things, little animals, travellers and the postal system!!! His information is here -

 I have also created a special Mouse Treasury on

If I've missed anything out, let me know!!!

More drain covers!!!

 We went for a walk along the seafront last week, and found some more drain covers!!

This one has holes in it!!!

And this one has lumps!!!

 This one has holes and lines on it....

 And this one is self locking!!!  How does it unlock though???

This one looks a bit like a wagon wheel and has bits of glass in!!

Oh!  I think this one's my favourite!  It's got a daisy in the middle!!!

 Andrea got a bit worried because It Looked Like Rain....

 And then we saw a pretty bell tower!  I don't remember that being there...

 We found another drain cover just with lines on it.

And then we found a Dancing Mouse!

I love dancing too!!!



Beanie went to Winchester!!!

Yesterday, Andrea had another day off work and took me out again!!

We saw this sprayed on the pavement on our way!!!

Oh!! Hove Train Station!! Wonder where we're going today....

  

 I got my own seat!

We had to get off here at a place called Fareham. we go past here on the way to Portsmouth when we've been to Isle of Wight!!

 We got on another train that had little tables!! I tied one of my cards on it!

 We saw lots of Jersey Cows on the way....

And then we got off here, at Winchester.

Where do we go now??

Andrea had to go for a wee, so we found these toilets first. The handwash thingy squirted soap at you, then it rained water and THEN it blew hot air, all in the same machine!! It was funny!!!

  

 Discovery Centre? Let's have a look!!!

 
Andrea got me some more family!!! It's Gilbert and George!!!!!

(Bob - don't worry, George is a boy dragon and he can word-burp!! With Sparkles on too!!! He's hysterical!!!!)

We saw some very pretty floor tiles here too.

And some very old buildings....

There's some pretty bricks there too!!!

Oh, I like that clock!

And a fancy monument too!

Oh, it's a museum and it's free to go in!! Let's take a look!!!

They had a jigsaw puzzle to do...

Oh - DONE IT!! It's an old Jar!

They have a Medieval Muriel here too!!

We did some brass rubbings too!!

I like doing these!

We had a sit down in an old pharmacy shop!

With lots of old jars in it!

They had an old tobacco shop too with lots of tins in!!

Here's a Cathedral!!!

Wow!!

Andrea said they charged money to go inside the Cathedral, even if you wanted to attend a service. Andrea doesn't like that, services should be free. So we didn't go in.

But we saw this fella instead!! He lives near the Cathedral Shop, and Andrea doesn't mind spending money in a shop!!

That's a pretty view....

We took our picture in a shiney thingy in the park!!

Then we got hungry so we stopped for lunch in here.

We had fish on top of new potatoes with spinach in between, and a lemony sauce. It was seriously YUMMY!!!

Then we went for another walk and saw these funny shop signs!!

Oh, look here!! It's a statue of a king!!

Who's he, then? Must be important to have a statue....

Oh, it's King Alfred!!

He's the Founder of The Kingdom, it says here...

And that one has more information on it too!

Then we had a little wander by the river....

Gosh, it's pretty here, isn't it?!

So many pretty places to sit and hang out!!

We saw some funny gadgets here!

Oh!! Winchester is 5 minutes 16 seconds behind London time!!! Coo!!

We saw some funny fish too!!

Oh, what's this??

We found another Horse statue!!! I wonder if this one has a song...?

I had a little rest here... this is tiring doing all this sightseeing!!

Great Hall And Round Table?? Where??

Andrea says that's the Tudor Rose!

Oh Look!!! We found the Castle Remains!!! The Castle isn't there any more but we still got the basement!!

Wow! That archway is still there!!

Down there are the dungeons and torture chambers!!!!!

DON'T LEAVE ME!!!!

Andrea promise she wouldn't!!!!! Phew! We had a play on the old walls.... this is fun!

I'd like one of those at home...

Now look at THAT!!! It's King Arthur's Round Table!!!

It's 5 and a half metres across, weighs 1,200 kilos and used to have 12 legs!!! They all fell off and got lost (I think they were used for firewood in the last recession, but nobody's telling us) so they hang it on the wall instead now.

We got so excited, we couldn't hold the camera still!!

That's the other end of the Great Hall. Fancy wallpaper, huh??!

I like it here...

Andrea said I could sign the Guest Book too!!! I never signed one of them before!

There's a little garden here too called Eleanor's Garden!! She was a Queen of England once!

I like her fountain!

This was opened by the Queen Mother and that's a Bayleaf Tree!

We saw a Bear Toilet and decided to make use of the facilities here!!!!

Hahahahaaa!!! I understand why Bob does this now, it's fun!!

Then we walked down the hill past this old gate again!

We found a yellow piggy too!!

Then we got thirsty so we stopped for a drink.

Oh I like this shop!!!

And here we are back at Winchester Train station.... time to go home!!!

And here we are going back to.....

Fareham!! We had to change trains again here.

It was very busy on this train, with lots of people doing a thing called Commuting. Andrea says that's when they have to get the Train home from work.

and here we are back at Hove, walking home again!! What a lovely day out!!!
