A Big Thank You...

[miss_s_b]

... to all who contributed to Miss Holly having such a super birthday today, including my mum and dad for inviting her for tea, and all the people who bought her presents, but especially (for blog purposes) Andrew and Holly for the Little Endless storybook and the Sarah Jane CD, and to Dave Godfrey for the Funnybones dinosaur book, all of which caused much excitement.

She got quite a haul of lego from me and Mat and Mat's mum and Dad, and an Avengers book and DVD from James, and lots of books, and The Blue Planet David Attenborough DVD set, and a pair of purple shades from her school friend Isobel. And a bunch of money which she's deciding how to spend from various other friends and relatives. And a mighty battler Hulk to be friends with her mighty battler Thor.

She has gone to bed a very happy Holly, and taken Hulk and Thor with her. As I left the room I heard Thor's in the meadow... Dee dedee dedee... Thor's picking flowers... Dee dedee dedee... Hulk sneak up behind Thor... HULK SMASH!!!, and then much evil cackling.

That's mah gel.

I approve of good birthdays for all Hollys.

[miss_s_b]

This is a good policy aim.

Especially ones born on the longest or shortest days of the year.

Glad the particular Holly in question liked her presents (and funny how the presents chosen, even from a very short wish list, managed to fit the people sending them.)

I'm very glad she liked it, and I hope you like the Blue Planet too.

[miss_s_b]

We're planning on sharing it because she loves nature documentaries; she has a DVD player (actually a playstation) in her room, and when I want to escape I go and watch stuff with her. Blue Planet will be somewhat more cerebral than sixties Thor cartoons, which is what she's wanted to watch of late.

[davegodfrey]

I very definitely approve, and shall have to encourage this in future. I wonder if she'd like Cosmos next year?

[miss_s_b]

She has the book of Cosmos, but I bet she'd love the DVD. We sporadically watch The Sky at Night, but we're bad at remembering it.

[davegodfrey]

That's what Series Record on the iPlayer is for. I'd never remember otherwise either.

Awesome! :)
