Eric Spends His Pocket Money ....... Again!!!

Remember the other day when I mentioned that young Eric was pondering ways of taking full advantage of our large puddle, what is under the bridge, up the road?

Well, let's just say he sorted out all his small change in neat piles to make sure he had enough and then put in an online order ......

Let me tell you, the tension and excitement dans Les Towers while he waited for his delivery was both unbelievably palpable and tangible, in equal measures.  

We all thought he might be in danger of bursting, even though we didn't actually have a clue as to what he'd ordered.

And then, when it arrived, I just don't know how we hadn't guessed what he was up to ...... he'd only gone and got himself a dingy!  Unfortunately, he'd forgotten to order any oars, so for now he is using his extra long arms to help propel himself  through the water, what is he like?

It goes without saying that he's extremely chuffed with himself, saying that although he doesn't want to wish his life away, he can't wait for the hot summer days when he'll have hours of paddling enjoyment in the shade, lying resplendent before him ........

....... adding that the bridge itself also gives a very satisfying echo when he feels compelled to whoop in delight! Heaven help us all.  I suppose I should just be grateful that he didn't order himself a jet ski or an aqualung!!!!!  Oh lordie, what have I gone and said now!???
