Chillin' Out.....

We had a late night out at Speedway last night - gotta love those sounds, smells and sights, don't ya? - topped off with an awesome display of fireworks and hangin' with Nicky and her whanau and Nush and her whanau - IN THE PITS, no less - A10 was in petrol-head heaven! It could have only been better if I hadn't run out of money on my phone so we could have caught up with Louise and hers as well. Luckily all those good vibes made me forget the horrendous queues to get in and out and the fact I left the camera behind!!!!!

Because we had a late night, we spent most of the day laxing out and creating 'stuff'. There was more clay:




There was lego, with the fully-poseable SP9 and his pet RoboLion:




And there was wooden block building, I will get some better shots tomorrow, as the lighting was really bad and I didn't have time to fluff tonight:




Poem for the Day: The Owl and the Pussycat - 1871 - by Edward Lear.

The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat:
They took some honey,
and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.

The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
"O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!"

Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl,
How charmingly sweet you sing!
Oh! let us be married;
too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?"

They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the bong-tree grows;
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood,
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.

"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;

And hand in hand on the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.
