I was very upset to have missed the tour of Johannesburg that the others went on, so Fi said she would make it up to me soon, but for now we were all invited to a party and the theme was 'The Olympic Games'. We were all quite excited to represent our countries!
First up were the equestrian events. Whoa Nellie! The others laughed at me and said I should rather attend the 'special' Olympics! Cheeky... I might lack grace but I made up for it in skill and I managed to complete the course.
We sat out the sprinting as we stood no chance against these fine athletes...
I gave the javelin a go though, don't worry, the car was just fine!
All four of us, together, could not make the weights even budge. Natalie showed us how, declaring "they are not so heavy!" Show off...
We were so quick at throwing discus that the photos were blurred! No point in showing you!
Next up was boxing... I had a little problem with my gloves at first...and... well actually, I was seriously compromised by my lack of arms...
After all of that physical exercise it was time for a drink and sugar boosting snack...
This was the only swimming going on today, this is the Winter Olympics!
I stand corrected, here are the synchronised swimmers...
We sang a rousing chorus of 'Happy Birthday' to the birthday boy and tucked into some scrummy cake.... cutting that cake was also an Olympic event!
Finally it was prize giving...
The bronze goes to Canada! Represented by me, so HA to those who doubted me!
Joint silver to Australia and England! Represented by Jubilee Bunny & Fiona
And the winner is.....ta da! The superior athlete, Pinky Bear from Germany!
What a fabulous day!
But now I need to go home for a hot bath and a muscle relaxing massage...and a good book.
