I\u2019ve had an idea. While Mum and I were walking on \u2018our mountain\u2019 yesterday morning I started thinking. Alfie wrote a book all about the animals and birds he used to meet on his walks in the woods in Belgium. Alfie\u2019s Woods might not be entirely real, but all the characters really did exist and so did the place. Well, it made me start to think maybe I could write a story about \u2018Wilma\u2019s Mountain\u2019 and include all the places and animals we see when we\u2019re up there. Mum said it sounded too much like \u2018Walton\u2019s Mountain\u2019 but I told her ours was heaps better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The setting is the easy bit. I need an idea for a story now. I don\u2019t think I\u2019d be as good at that bit as Alfie was. Perhaps I\u2019ll wait until I get home and talk to him about it to see if he has any suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow is still not right. She disgraced herself yesterday, she had a bit of an upset tum and didn\u2019t get chance to go out. She found the nearest thing she could to long grass but in the house. Mum wasn\u2019t thrilled at having to clean the resulting mess out of the rug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well you\u2019ll be pleased to know the extra pieces of wardrobe have not gone to waste. Mum has turned them into an extra little bedside unit. She\u2019s really rather pleased with her handiwork and has now finished with furniture building. She still has to put up some pictures. She\u2019s having to drill holes in the walls. I don\u2019t know what the walls are made of but she has ruined one drill bit so far. It came out glowing red, which I\u2019m sure is not a good sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Salvo and Izzy are coming to stay later so I\u2019m really rather excited. Mum says I have to help her get things ready, but I\u2019m sure that probably means I need to stay out of the way. She\u2019s asked Shadow if she could stop farting quite so much too. It\u2019s a good job we can have all the windows open!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
