Hey there lovely to see you again
We had a brilliant time, thank you. I looked up Boots! Cos I'm a nerd like that, John Boots opened a herbal remedies store in 1849. John Boots died in 1860 and his 10 year old son took over the running of the shop with mother (widow of John, mother of 10 year old not mother of John). Phew, I think I need Poot to help with grammatical arrangement of that sentence!

Bleurgh...cockroaches - and today to top it off I saw a big, fat RAT in Hatfield town centre. YUK!
I was confused by the concierge's "warning" as well - but all will become clear in Baltimore... DM always allowed us "food furlough" on holiday - and the first time we were in Florida with Poot I was so excited to get some Cocoa Puffs so that he could try them (we ONLY got Cocoa Puffs on holiday)...and he hated them. "Cereal shouldn't taste of chocolate, Mother." Me: "Whose child ARE you?" I will let Poot read your reply to him tomorrow and edit in his response. There will certainly be more to say about the cart escalator, I'm sure. And clearly I must live under a metaphorical rock - because that is the FIRST time I've ever heard that joke about Boots. I did GENUINELY smile. PS: "Moaning"? You're getting a little bit frisky these days, Abby. I like it. LOL...I just typed that very same thing! He'd be ONLY TOO happy to help. |

Are cocoa puffs like sugar puffs but with chocolate?
I will confess my only rule for Christmas or Easter or birthdays with my children is 'eat whatever you like but don't make yourself sick' I agree it's not a brilliant rule. Bad mother police well and truly alerted.

Aha, I wondered if they were coco pops, but I see that they are balls as opposed to puffed rice cereal.

Yes...probably even LESS nutritional value...
...and here's Poot's reply from yesterday: The meteorites WERE amazing - I could have fiddled with (haha that's what Dad calls it) the magnetic one all day. The meteorites at Harvard had better names, though. DEAD COW! The meteorite that you could sit on was all worn down from people sitting on it - it was "smudged". We have a two-storey supermarket near our house, too. It is a Sainsbury's - and it just has the moving ramp. It's very annoying when you get stuck behind a big queue of buggies (carts). That would not happen if they had the escalator! |

Poot,
Thank you for the reply, the meteorites sound fascinating. The Perseid meteor shower is visible tonight, but it might start a bit late for you, I'm not sure what your bedtime is? We braved supermarket shopping this morning, not the massive one with the escalator, but a nearer Tesco. The reason I'm telling you is because it was very busy and we got stuck behind several slow moving carts. My son had to buy some new swimming trunks as both his trunks ripped while we were on holiday. Shh...Don't tell anyone but he had his left buttock hanging out for a portion of our day at Volcano Bay! In the end he put his pants on underneath the trunks so we wouldn't have to leave the water park. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Poot is still awake - unfortunately it looks like cloud cover here north of London will prevent us from seeing the meteors tonight.
He replies: That must have been very embarrassing for your son. When I was younger I was very, very skinny and my dad was always telling me to pull up my trousers - because I was showing my bum and that was disgusting. Mother said it wasn't disgusting but it wasn't good manners. In Hatfield yesterday we saw a man walking around with all of his underwear showing and I wondered if we should tell him but Mother said that was just his style. My dad wouldn't allow that style, haha. We don't usually go to Tesco on Saturday - it's too busy! April here - I have taken the laptop back... |

It feels rude to not reply to Poot, but I'm trying to think of something to say that is not along the lines of...
I imagine your bottom didn't look like a builders so I'm sure I will have seen sights that are more disgusting. Isn't it weird how some people like to show the world their underwear, or worse let things hang out? I've never understood that... so I guess it's more a reply to you than Poot.

I have never tried Coco Puffs but I always eat Miel Pops at DLP! Calories don't count at Disney.
