I spekt yu'd like to kno wat's been hapnin rownd heer since.

Well, daddy had a poo an haz hert his bak. I hope the two events wernt relaytid but I wassent present at either so I carnt be shor.

Meenwile, Mummy mist her appoyntment at the dentist cos she fell asleep. She had been up all nite, an waz tryin to do a "keep awake till the next bedtime to stop becuming nokternal" stint, but mayde the mistayke ov sittin by the fire in frunt ov daytime TV. Faytol.

An as fer me, well, me an Dilly went shoppin an got our Advent calendar. Heer it is:

I kno they hav theez in Yorrup (I kno becos this wun waz mayde in Germany hehehe!) but do yu get them in Amerryka or Ostraylia?

They hav 24 windoze. Yu open wun eech day from Deesember the 1st, an it cownts down to the nite wen Santa comes. There's a littler pikcher inside eech windo. The moddern wuns hav choklits inside eech windo insted ov a pikcher. I wantid a Simpsons wun an Dilly wantid a Dr Who wun, but Mummy sed we can ownly hav pikchers an that weel get choklits at Crismoss. Poo!

Bye fer now!

Start of Advent Calender, & How Dilly Counts

Yesterday's scores:

• Gills: no
• Simpsons: yes
• Tesco: yes
• Nose Hugs Surprizisity Score: 9.5/10
• Day Score: 8/10
• Advent Calender pikcher: a book

HULLO NOT-A-BEARS!

As yu can see from the abuv, I've added a bit to my daily heading- advent calender pikcher. I opened the ferst day today an it was a pikcher ov a book. Me an Dilly are takin alternate days, she is doing the even numbers. This is becos ov her liking the number two so much. Did I ever tell yu about Dilly's counting method?

Dilly only counts to two. This duzzent mean that she only counts TWO THINGS. No. She counts lots ov things, but calls most ov the numbers "TWO".

Her "logic" (an I yews the term VERY losely) is as follows:

take fer instance this pikcher ov festiv Bears:

seven pandas a-hatting

Now, to you and me, there are seven Bears. But Dilly wud look at this pikcher an count like this:

"One, plus other one, plus other one, plus other one, plus other one, plus other one, plus other one. Hmm... One plus other one is... TWO!"

Apparently all reptile an amphibian types count this way. Dilly says that if everyone counted this way there would be World Peace, as wars are mostly fort wen peopol think somewun has got more than them ov sumthing. An if everywun could only count to two, everyone would hav the same. Except for those who had one, but yu could giv them one of yors, an yu would still hav two.

Wen we asked her about the glaring differences possible in how many things make two, Dilly looked offended, sed that there were big twos and little twos, and sed that this was "Bluddy Obvious". At this point I got lost, cos talk ov big twos was starting to sound rude and I got distracted.

So enyway! This is why Dilly is doing the even numbers, as she gets number two.

(See what I hav to liv with?)

Bye fer now!
