Monkey Monkey diary update… Friday 15th August 2014 Today I got to go home with Bethany from Toddlers (whoop, whoop!)… she has lovely long hair. I like long hair. We took a bit of a detour on the way home tho… towards the gym! Aaagh, I’d never been to a gym before but thankfully it wasn’t too busy so I didn’t get that embarrassed. I don’t look fit you see, but I really am. Grrrr! I started on the treadmill but unfortunately I wasn’t quite tall enough to touch my feet onto the belt ( ☹ ). So, Bethany popped me near the weights and set me up to lift 25kg. Whaaattt??? So I started on 1kg, had a break and a trusty banana… bingo, I was able to lift anything after that. Sometimes I feel like I’m popeye! But I don’t like spinach, so that wouldn’t work anyway!! By the time we got home to Bethany’s it was a quick ‘hi’ to mom and dad then I had to hit the sack guys, phew, I was wiped out! Saturday 16th August 2014 I was really excited when I woke up as Bethany was taking me to her other place of work. I couldn’t believe that I was going to see a real bouncy castle! Bethany said she would see if I could have a quick bounce on it. She did it for me! Bethany worked her magic… Bethany is my new best friend, I asked her if I could call her ‘B’, she said that was ok ☺ The castle was so bouncy and I had so much fun as I could jump REALLY high! Wheee… the day couldn’t get any better when B said they had a rope swing! Crikey, I thought I was going to burst with excitement! It felt like I was in the jungle with its vines. I felt right at home I can tell you. No surprise that I was a pro!! I just swung around like a happy little monkey should… only slipped once and that’s because I was eating a banana with one hand and only holding on with the other. Whoops. But the nice soft matt was very good surprise!! You would think I would be sick of bananas by now. Never. I loves them. Just like I loves my new friend B. Sunday 17th August 2014 The highlight of the weekend was having a BBQ with all of B’s old friends. Although I don’t have the taste for them, I did try my hand at cooking some burgers with the promise of a banana at the end. After all the hard work and sweat I had a bit of a chillax in the swing chair – felt like I was floating in mid-air but much safer than swinging from tree to tree! Once I jumped off and I managed to meet some new friends to spend the rest of the evening with. I was a little social butterfly, whoops… monkey! So as I nestled into bed that night, I reflected on my perfect weekend with B. Thanks B, I whispered, as I drifted off to sleep. MM xx PS watch this space for next weekends travels... Im off to meet Alexanders family!
