@jackieterrier - Cancelled Playdate

Aw prawn shrimps. Too bad. Our playdate at home with Ripple has been cancelled due to slow timing, and it's not fair! But it will be when I tell you what Lulu and I like to do to pass the time. Maybe you can do it too!

First off, as any kid does when they feel sad and lonely, they write letters and draw pictures to send to their friends far off. We draw and write for Rusty, Digger, Dusty and of course Ripple, who took us out earlier today - Lulu's handwriting may be messy, but mine is green and dark muddy brown, much like the colours of Rusty's army hat.

We put on some fun music and launch into Dance Mode!

We like to take a handful of cardboard boxes that are stored for the dump and draw and colour on them to make them anything we want - a house...a rocket! An army tank. Or maybe if it's Lulu's turn, she'll make the cardboard boxes into a princess carriage!

We like to build a blanket fort together - Lulu is in charge of the pillows, I'm in charge of the blankets. Mum and Dad are in charge of everything else. Once we did that, we pretend to be bears living in a dark and yet cosy cave, chowing down on sausage rolls and hand painting with orange paint.

And when it's raining, we like to sit by the window and count the raindrops that drip way down the pane. I like to read Lulu her favourite princess storybooks sometimes - even if she begs for "Just one more story!"
