Thursday (1 August 2024)

It’s the Olympics and I am excited because the Mummies have realised that the Rings are here. I thought they were still in Paris but I was wrong. I hope this doesn’t mean I have to compete! I’m athletic and all but there are only so many sports that you can compete in without other competitors! I suppose we could get some in just for the events – but then we’d have to decide which ones. I quite fancy the rock-climbig but without Uncle Wayne here there’s no way we can get a course or wall or whatever you call it, put up. Same with skateboarding. I have high hopes for some archery out on the back field though. Just need a couple of targets, bows, some arrows, a couple of officials, and some marshalls to keep the area clear. There are those huge lights out there so we could compete at night as well as during the day. I’ll speak with the Mummies and see how quickly they can get it all organised.

Those Mummies had lunch Outback with me today. It was nice to have them out there, getting some Vitamin D and doing the Herald Trivia quiz. I don’t think they’re as good at it as they were when they watched teleivision on the television rather than Inspector Barnaby and those Planet of the Apes reboot movies.
