HULLO NOT-A-BEARS!

I'm jus poppin in to tell yu abowt the kind ov nonsensicall nonsense that I hav to put up wiv rownd heer. (Onnistly, I'm a Bear ov hi kalliber an a fully traynd spy graduate from the Federayshun ov Internashnul Furry Agents (FIFA) an yu wud expekt that I wud be spared sutch nonsense as wat wagons get up to.)

(syyyy............)

Enyway! Today is St George's day heer in England, an he is the paytron saynte. If yu kno abowt St Patrik's day, well wat St Patrik's iz for Ireland, St George's day iz for England. Exsept wivowt the paraydes, the beer, the greenness evryware (exspet rownd heer) an the peepol dresst up as hippy green elfs smokin pipes an wearin mad clover-shaypet hats.

BUT!!! It is ALSO Dilly's berfday.
If yu reed her blog (an if yu do yu oviossly hav too mutch time on yor hands) then yu will hav spottid sumthing odd abowt this- in that it waz ALSO her berfday a few weeks ago. So how duzz she mannidge this then? Well, becos she is Dilly, that's how.

Yu see, the Kween haz 2 berfdays- she haz her reel berfday, wen she waz born, and then she haz her offishul berfday, wich is wen they hav offishul sellybrayshuns and stuff. No matter hoo the kween or king is, that offishul berfday duzzent chaynge. But oviussly, their reel berfday duzz. So they end up wiv 2. This meens our Kween is akchewly approachin 180 yeers old. An now that yu kno that, yu can see she reelly duzzent look as bad for her age as yu ferst thort, duzz she?

So enyway, Dilly haz 2 berfdays too. She had her reel berfday a few weeks ago an she haz her offishul berfday on St George's Day. Wich meens she gets 2 berfday teas an 2 lots ov pressents.

I did arsk Mummy wy this shud be, an Mummy splaynd that Dilly jus likes the number 2. In fakt she carnt cownt hier than 2, so it duzzent reelly matter how menny berfdays she haz. So I told Mummy that I kwite liket the number oooo, I don't kno, how abowt number 49? Yes, 49 haz allways been a grayte number in my books. So can I hav 49 berfdays a yeer? No. Dident think so. Pah!

Nip over to her blog an see wat prezzies she got, if yu like. But remember, yu will never get thoze minits bak!! Heer is a canny croco-dragon compass I bort her, for wen sheez navvygayting for Daddy in the car. Let's fayce it, the better she gets at that, the mor I can sit bak an enjoy the view, an cownt the bunnys in the feeld.

Bye fer now!!

St George's Day

HULLO NOT-A-BEARS!

Today is St George's day, the patron saint of England.

Dilly, being a croco-dragon, is kwite taken with the story of St George. I was surprised to hear this, given the tradishonal fate of the green character in the story, till I discovered that in the vershon SHE read, St George hadn't FOUGHT the dragon, he TAUGHT it. St George is therefore patron saint of teaching dragons how to make fires, boil kettles, and make tea.

This will account fer how he came to be patron saint of England, too, as every English vein runs with 60% tea. (5% Marmite-on-toast, 2% steamed pudding & custard, 10% biscuits, 3% roast Sunday dinners, 5% fish & chips, 15% misc.)

Dilly's full nayme is Dilly St George, in onnor of the Dragon hoo was "taught" in the story (sigh....) an so to help her sellybrayte her speshol day we gave her a card and an English flag (red cross on white backgrownd):

She desided to make the flag into a cape an go gliding rownd the howse making engine noyzes wiv the theme from "The Dambusters" blaring out...

I caught a brief shot of this on video. Hope yu enjoy!
