Dear Herbert Fans one and all, Herbert's Daddy-Doo here! Herb is in bed so I thought I'd update things for a change. It has been a very exciting week for us, as our crazy little man has moved in to his new bedroom. It was all a big surprise (possibly too much of a surprise), and I caught the moment on camera when his little face gazed wonderingly at his brand new room. Naturally, his excitement peaked when various new cars and buses were spotted, which he proceeded to play with until way past bedtime. Since then Bertie has gradually gotten used to his new abode, choosing to sleep on his car rug for an afternoon nap today. Hopefully pictures will follow.
And in other news, Herbert made a birthday cake for a monkey all by himself and with no prompting. A mixed-media interpretation of a cake anyway, created using the classic combination of Play-Doh and Stickle Bricks. He even sang 'Happy Birthday' to the grateful chimp! Another moment of excitement came when a pheasant was spotted on the patio. Not quite up to the goat shenanigans of 2005, but still a great photo opportunity!
Bye for now, Adam/Daddy/Lurchio
PS A big Thank You to Waggaman for all his help turning Herbert's room from reality to dream!
