Gringo Bingo and croquet (mallets aforethought)

the nightmare vuvuzela banned from football stadium
Sentenced to hang, I feel not a pang
Of guilt, despair or remorse
For the blackguard that staggered as out my shots rang
Was the one that had stolen my horse

So back at holiday camp today there was a choice of activities. I made a kite and claim it to have achieved the greatest altitude of any of the kites made that day. It also has guns.
Then mostly I played football. So when he picked me up, I was hot and pink again and will never discover the final result (it was 19-12 at the time).
Then it was gymnastics, I still haven't got badge #6 but then nobody got anything, perhaps it's the hot weather. While eating the last of my strawberry whips from tuck at the daycare, he drove me to Anchorage Park.....park. I have been there before but not for ages and it's obviously been improved. There's still the kiddie end and a few climbers, a plunger-seat and seesaw, but now there's actual large swings, a hanging tyre, a zipline and some balancing beams and a rock'n'log assault course! That classes the facilities as good and medium to large, given the basketball court and 5 football pitches.
In the end we had to go home for supper and decided to give Rosie the rabbit its final feeding. I took 2 giant spinach leaves round (nearly as big as me, I looked like a Nubian Fanbearer, don't talk to me about eunuchs) but the Popses had returned from their hols so we didn't need to really. They're all very tanned and Pops gave me a game and a sweetie dispenser and Bud got a little bottle of Sangria with castanets and a pink hat. Mrs Pops has totally lost her voice so we laughed at that but she has gained a big square diamond in an engagement ring so not all bad.

Then we went home and I made Pizzas from scratch, as you do.
