For those who have also been watching the latest David Attenborough vehicle Green Planet, this is Keiki's rendering of three extremely happy, very spiky, "teddy bear" cholla cacti.
Humuhumu's "Bongo Cat". Such joy!

I've missed a day due to inescapable slumber at 8:30 PM yesterday, sorry. The day itself was grueling and the previous two had been no less demanding so I managed to put myself to sleep while reading Humuhumu stories in order to put her to sleep. Whoops.
Anyway, here is one of the drawings Humuhumu has recently produced. It is advice on how to "Be Safe on Tintnet", given by a friendly dog with sad feet. Here is his advice.
* Ask your grown-up
* Ask your grown-up
* Ask for help
* Ask for help
* Use your tablet safely
* Use your tablet safely woof woof woof woof woof woof
Rules:
* If you're not sure ask a grown-up.
* if you see a game ask a grown-up.
* don't watch stuff that you don't know.
* ask for help if you see somefing pop up
Thanks, Dog!
Also worth noting: Humuhumu has begun her first history lessons in Year 2. Their current topic is "The Great Fire of London". Can I just comment on how wonderfully northern it is to have the very first thing you learn about the capital be the fact that once upon a time, a gigantic swath of it was razed to the ground? (No prizes for guessing where the head teacher is from.) I am deeply amused.
On Sunday, Humuhumu coloured in an Easter egg for a school art competition. I thought it was pretty fantastic. She also sang at a Mothering Sunday church service with her Rainbows troupe, and read out a message she wrote to me, saying “I love my mum because she is nice to me and gives me cuddles.” Something may have gotten into my eye at that point.

This is Sad Batman. Sad Batman, a black crayon rendition on orange construction paper who looks a lot like a Christmas tree with a bat head, is sad, "because he lost Wildstyle and Emmett". This is a reference that will make no sense if you haven't seen The Lego Movie and hence will not make you LOL as hard as I did.
On a completely different note, check out who's fashion-ready for the Cassini End of Mission. We were at Marks & Spencer buying school clothes last weekend when Humuhumu spotted this white fluffy jumper with pink sequin ringed planet. I couldn't resist.

In this drawing by Humuhumu, done in purple pen, you see two cars on the left and Humuhumu's Daddy on a bicycle on the right. These are the things Daddy likes to do: driving, riding bicycles, and driving us to places where we can all ride our bicycles.
In this drawing by Humuhumu in the lower left and upper right, you see renditions of Dashi, the dachsund from the BBC children's show Octonauts, in light blue marker pen. The octopod is partially visible in the upper left, as is "Dashi nose practise" in the lower right.
Dashi is Humuhumu's favourite Octonaut. Here is the description of Dashi from the Octonauts web site, emphasis mine. Dashi is a smart dachshund / sausage dog who oversees operations in the Octopod HQ and launch bay. She monitors the computer systems and manages all ship traffic. She's also the Octonauts' official photographer and enjoys taking photos of undersea life.
....Oh. Ah. Huh.
A few months ago, I bought a couple of drawings from the talented natural history illustrator ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ginasketch. I took them to a framer in Cambridge, hemmed and hawed over colours and widths, and left them there for several weeks.
I picked them up today, and they look brilliant.
