Uglyworld #234 - "Is It An Early Xmas Present For Us?"

Uglyworld #234 - "Is It An Early Xmas Present For Us?", originally uploaded by www.bazpics.com.

Wage and Babo had heard me answer the door earlier this evening and wondered who was there and more imporantly what they wanted (i.e. had they brought anything interesting, or tasty for that matter for them to "take care of" for me).

I told them that it was only some local kids selling homemade biscuits in order to give a better christmas to blind local rabbits (not sure how they bought that story, but it seemed to work all the same).

Later on I summoned Babo and Wage to the living room where I told them to stand perfectly still with their hands over their eyes. After catching them both peeking through their fingers a few times they finally did the job properly, and I placed something in front of them and then quickly got the camera ready and shouted "ok, open your eyes NOW!!!".

The expressions on both of their faces as they turned to each other and shouted "TRAY" was simply priceless - as you can see in the photo they even held hands for a brief second or two amidst all of the excitement!!!

P.S. The hat Wage is wearing is my first ever attempt at crocheting, and I reckon it came out quite well :)

Uglyworld #150 - Target Lost In The Bushes

While I was drying off Cinko after his emergence from the swimming pool there was a lot of rustling coming from the bushes which seemed to make poor little Cinko uneasy, he kept telling me that he was sure there was something watching him, but I tried to put him at ease by telling him it was only the wind blowing the leaves from the trees and through the garden.

It wasn't until I heard a metallic "clang" and someone saying "aooow" that I took any interest in investigating further. As we got to the bottom of the garden (way further than the swimming pool) I could see some movement in the bushes, so I lay down on the ground and set up the camera to try and capture whoever was in there.

He seemed to be puzzled as to where he was, so we enticed him out of the bushes with some cookies and brought him up to the house to explain everything.

With all the little guys completely unaware of the 2 extra magic beans that had been left in the garden by the mysterious man who was selling them at the market last weekend, they had no reason to look outside, let alone down to the bottom of the garden.

But unknown to them the two other magic beans had also now waved their magic wand and produced some interesting things...

As I worked away inside the house I heard the cover of the swimming pool whirring and could see it closing over the top of the water - this isn't too abnormal a thing to witness, but when it's under 10oC outside and we're into October it's a little strange - so I ventured down to the bottom of the garden to see if the motor of the cover was broken.

I got the fright of my life when I got down to the pool and found Cinko standing staring at me with his 3 eyes, he seemed quite afraid of me too, but after running back inside to get a towel to dry him off he realised there was nothing to be afraid of.

With the little uglies being so excited last weekend about the prospect of finding out what would emerge from their magic beans they didn't realise that the mysterious man who sold them the beans had left them two little presents at the bottom of the garden - 2 more magic beans!!!

Once it seemed that all the little uglies questions had been answered Wage told them all to close their eyes and count to 10 as he had a surprise for them.

All of them tightly closed their eyes and started counting....

1...2...3..4....5...6....7..8....9...10 - and opened their eyes.

Screams echoed around the room as they old started running off in different directions with their arms being thrown around like crazy.

Big Babo didn't know what to say to it all, he only wanted to say hello to everyone and let them ask him questions like they had done to Wage previously.

Little Babo almost ran right into my camera as he was in such a panic to get away.

Don't worry - the title doesn't mean we're in for an Uglython of the little guys acting out famous kids stories...

With the magic beans due to release their magic tomorrow the little guys all decided that it would be a good idea to head to bed. Wage, Jeero, Babo and Wedgehead were tucked up in bed for 9pm in anticipation of the big day which lay ahead of them all.

Shortly after they were all sound asleep the door opened and in walked the product of one of the magic beans, Maximum Wage said he didn't want to wake them up as they looked as though the needed their sleep, and it was his fault that he had arrived earlier than planned anyway.

They're still all snoring away blissfully unaware of their new big cousin.
