The water creatures: the chick has stopped growing and I think the alien has too. His foot keeps popping out of the water, but I think that's due to the water evaporating, not the alien growing.

The Holden blimp has been out and about, and last weekend flew very low over my house. Judging from it's underside (second pic), it's a boy! A Holden employee told me today that this is the first blimp with that type of TV screen in the world, so Holden gets lots of money from using it.

It's Book Week in schools this week. The reception classes at our school had to dress as pirates for the parade, to fit in with their sea theme. The rest of the kids could choose any character who appears in a book, which means they could pretty much dress as anything.

It gives me a wedgie when I zip it up!!". Check out EJ's facial wound from some other swashbuckler:
