Andrea's Birthday....

Last Tuesday, Andrea brought a cake home....!
But we couldn't eat it straight away. Oh.

But then on Wednesday, Andrea took me and the cake into work with her!!

And everyone in the office helped us eat the cake because it was Andrea's birthday!!

It's a Triple Layer Caramel Icing with chocolate flakes cake!!!!! I love those!!

then when we got home, we found this had arrived in the post!! It means we can have free entry or 50% off museum entry tickets until the end of August!!!

Later on, we went for a walk up the road.

And decorated some bicycles on the way!

And Lamp posts too!! (This one's been found, by the way!!)

I love doing this!

We went to this restaurant for dinner - it's a Thai restaurant called The Giggling Squid!!

They do very good food in there....

And they give you jelly beans with the bill!!!

We lost some more tags on the way home too.

Oh, that's better!

And there too!!

I like birthdays!!

A Day Out!!

Last week, I got taken to where Andrea works again, because I hadn't been for ages!

I met a new friend there too, Bunny Wabbit!!

Here's me, Bunny Wabbit and Goosey have a good ol' catch up!

We then watched them putting in the windows into the building over the road!!!

You can see a man at the bottom using a very technical piece of equipment to help get the window in - it's called "Plank Of Wood" and they're very expensive.

Wow!!

Building at Home!!

Last week, when Andrea got home from work, we discovered scaffolding outside our window!!!

And lots of weird looking metal bits!!

 Even the back patio was full of ladders and poles!!

And it goes all the way up the back of the building too!!!
We found out later that the builders are Re Pointing The Bricks and it's going to take a month. They're also going to replace some rotten bricks (which sounds like an awfully good idea!!) which will take another week, maybe two, depending on how many rotten bricks they find. Andrea says this kind of thing happens a lot to buildings on the seafront like ours, and it's to do with all the salt in the air.

But then, because we're renting, we don't have to pay for any of it!!! So we got out the birdfood, and put some more on the window ledge and had a party with all the Sparrows!!!!!

We like free stuff!!!

Beanie on the Isle of Wight, Day Three

On Sunday, we got up and found that it wasn't as sunny as Saturday.

We had Weety Bicks for breakfast!!


Then, when Lynne was ready and after I'd packed, we went and loaded up in the car!
It was time to go!!

So off we went for Drive!

First of all, we stopped at Busy Bee Garden Centre!! (Andrea just told me that the Union Jack flag is upside down, she thinks... oops!)

We saw some fun things in here!!

 They had loads of cheap envelopes!! I make my own though so we don't need to buy any of these ones.....

 and we also saw some feather boa's!! They tickled and made me sneeze!

We also met Piggy!

We stopped for coffee while we were here and I got a Royal Wedding Mug!!!! Andrea said I could take it home with me too!!

Outside, we saw a Vintage Car!! Can we take this home too???

Please?!

Then we went for another drive!!

We stopped off here too!!!

 OH!! Yellow raffia! Let's get some!

We found dragons too!!

And more ladybugs!!

Then we went for another drive!!
You definitely need a car on Isle of Wight!!

And then it was time to go On the Pier!!

We arrived early for our boat home, so we said goodbye to Lynne!!
I like Lynne....!

Then we saw our Swimming Cat arrive, so we got on ready for Sailing!

Bye Bye Isle of Wight!! It was nice to see you again!!!

And here we are arriving at Ports Mouth!! You can just about see the Spinnaker Tower there...

There is it!!! Andrea says it was built to look like a thing called Spinnaker Sail which are on things called Yachts.

And we got here just in time to get train home!!

We had Sandwiches on the way too.....

...... while we were whizzing our way through the countryside!.....

And then we walked home from the train station!!
What a fun weekend!!!
