Well as the title suggests the hot weather has continued this week and boy can the Brits moan about the weather!!! I am quite enjoying it although mummy is a bit upset that she bought me some new trousers for the UK summer and so far I have been wearing the same clothes as i do in Singapore - yes it really is that hot!!!
To help me cool down we have been doing some water based activities - on Friday we went swimming (indoors) with Auntie Kate and Matthew and Amelia and we have also had the paddling pool out at both my Grandma's allowing me to get really wet - although the water was a bit chilly!!!
On Saturday we had a day out with grandma and grandad south - we went shopping in the morning and Grandma treated me to a babyccino and then we headed to a model village where everything was teeny tiny - the best bit was the trains that whizzed around and then me, Grandma and mummy went on a bigger train which was fun. Grandma also treated us to ice cream - a yummy mini milk. Then on Sunday we went to mass in the morning and all of my UK cousins were there - we escaped into the next room and sang some songs and did some colouring before we returned back to the grown ups for more singing and then I held Grandma's hand to head up for communion (i was on my best behaviour!!)
On Sunday afternoon we had a long car journey "up north" as grandma and grandad north came to pick us up and drove us up to Leeds. When i got to their house Auntie Becca was waiting for me and also a big, furry animal that kept running around and was more excitable than me - apparently it is called a doggy and his name is Jasper (or "down" have not fathomed that one out yet as they seem to shout both at him!!) It took me a while to suss him out but now we are good friends and enjoy chasing each other round and throwing things for him to catch.
Mummy is back in the driving seat again - which took me a while to get used to but now i am quite happy in my seat, especially if one of the other adults is in the car as well as they can be quite entertaining when they are trying to stop me crying!! Although I do keep trying to escape from the car seat, it seems to have a magic chemical in it that makes me fall asleep!!
On Monday we went round to visit baby Nina and i got to have lots of cuddles, I was quite good at being gentle and I got to play with some of her toys too. Then on Tuesday we had a visit from Great-Grandma and Grandad which was lovely and they brought me a lovely sunhat which has proved very useful over the last week. On Wednesday we went to Polkadots which is a bit like Polliwogs (although obviously not as good!!) and then finally this afternoon we went to Roundhay Park to see the butterflies, big fish and meerkats before a quick dip in the paddling pool!!
Phew!! What a busy week! I think mummy might have some shopping trips planned for next week, so far we have only bought baby chopsticks, a cool bag and a jumper for mummy so think we might need more things to fill up the suitcase!! Also the seaside has been mentioned, I liked Bintan and Kota Kinabalu so think this sounds fun - although donkeys have been mentioned so not quite sure where they fit in.
Right had better go, hope you like the pictures
Toodle-pip!!
