Splash...

In the middle of last night, I had a feeling somebody was watching me, I could hear someone breathing to the side of the bed...Joni! It was like something out of a horror film, she was just standing there in the dark staring at me! So it begins, Joni wanting to get in bed with us....and she is SOOOO fidgety, I just can't sleep with her in the bed, I know I'm cruel but I kicked them both out and Mum and Joni went off to sleep in Joni's bed!

I jogged to Redcar East station today, and when I got there, as usual, I walked up and down the platform to "cool off". This time though there was just me on my side, and about forty people on the platform directly opposite: my platform was my stage. Well let's not waste an opportunity! Once I had finished walking up and down, I started to stretch, nothing funny, just stretching my legs, but I heard some young lads sniggering on the opposite platform...well then I did a pose like Superman flying, and started jumping up and down, and seriously, half of the platform burst out laughing. I felt stupid actually, but as long as they enjoyed it. I nearly took a bow...

We went to Robin Hoods bay this afternoon, they were having a "Victorian weekend" as we found out when we got there, it was really busy, and lots of people were in full Victorian costume. "Oooh, nice!!" as Joni said about a little girl in a lovely old outfit. But why take pictures of them when I can take pictures of Joni? We put her welly's on her, and she was so thrilled that we actually LET her splash in the rockpools on the beach. As an aside, she's (in the same week that she's started sleeping in a bed) started telling us whenever she needs the toilet, and so as we walked past a couple on the beach she said (loudly), "Oh, poo-poo, poo-poo!!!!". She experienced her first outdoor wee-wee (as it turned out) behind a rock on Robin-hoods bay beach. Here she is saying "plash, plash!" and doing exactly that...
