I woke up this morning to hear: "Hi-yah! Hah! Eee-ah! <whump!>"
"Are you all right?" I called from my pillow.
"Yes!" the M cub giggled. "I was being a kung-fu ninja and I went into the wall..."
And a very good morning to you too, my lovely. <g>

Cubs and I went to Puffing Billy yesterday! And it was free cos Soulsis and Becca had given us a complementary day-pass that Becca had won in a raffle! I like steam trains, have I mentioned?
Good day for it, too - not hot, not cold, no rain - and we got there in time for the first trip out so it wasn't packed. The cubs insisted on sitting in the first carriage, as close to the engine as possible, but after the first bit of soot in their eyes they decided it might not be such a good thing. We went to Lakeside, a lovely leisurely hour-long journey, then disembarked and watched the engine steam off to its next destination before ambling up the hill to the Emerald Lake Park Model Railway. Happily spent ages in there, enjoying the (miniature) scenery while the cubs zipped about taking photos and asking the operator questions, then we went for a walk around the lake. Ducks, and ducklings, and the occasional splash of a fish! It's a beautiful spot, especially at this cooler time of the year when there's no crowds.
Caught the train back to Belgrave, sitting in the very last carriage this time, then I let the cubs loose in the gift shop. Happy cubs.
And I got a snowglobe! : )
It was a good day. Thanks for the tickets, Soulsis!

Ahah! I now have a green kougra. Only blue, yellow, white, black, pink, starry - and I think, cloudy - to go. Heh.
