We had a fun day today.
Scott: Yay.
What did we do?
Scott: Eh… Hang on… I’m thinking… We…
We wandered about in Lancaster for a while.
Scott: Oh yeah.
Then we met Mummy after her run.
Scott: Oh yeah.
Then we had a picnic and we went for a swim.
Scott: Oh yeah.
How was the swimming?
Scott: Great.
What did we do?
Scott: Well, we basically just swam round really – since the flumes… I really liked the game we played. We got a big float, two people go on it and the first person to fall off loses – you try and push the other person off.
So we did that, and then went to Williamson Park.
Scott: What’s that again?
The playpark and the big sundial.
Scott: Oh yeah – that wasn’t bad. I mean, it was good – but we just didn’t do much.
What would you like to do tomorrow?
Scott: Eh… Any ideas? Any ideas? We wouldn’t need…
Fish and chips?
Scott: Yeah.
Would that be tasty?
Scott: Yeah!

What did we do today?
Scott: Trying to remember… Trying to remember… (long pause) I can’t remember…
We went to Morecambe.
Scott: Oh yeah – Morecambe. We got fish and chips, we went to amusement parks and we got sandy feet.
We had lots of fun.
Scott: Yeah.
What bit of today did you like best?
Scott: Probably the fish and chips.
Why?
Scott: Because it was so tasty.
You had fish rather than sausages…
Scott: Yeah. The fish was better, it’s like… Here’s the problem… The problem is the… It’s like a McDonald’s – you think you want to change. I don’t like the chips but there’s no choice to have chips. I’m not really a big fan of chips or anything – that’s a really big problem.
You don’t have to have chips.
Scott: Great.
You could just have fish or sausage.
Scott: Woo!
Would that be better?
Scott: Better, yes.
We also went to the amusements – was that fun?
Scott: Yeah.
Did you win anything?
Scott: I didn’t play games where you could actually win any proper prizes if you know what I mean.
I do. Then you paddled in the sea with your wellies and got very wet feet.
Scott: Yeah.
Yeah, but we got rid of the water…
Scott: Eventually. Longer a time than eventually…
7-8-2012
What did we do today?
Scott: Well, we went to a farm and did a lot there.
Like what?
Scott: Saw animals, touched animals – you got a few chicks, didn’t you?
I did – I grabbed a couple of chicks and let you stroke them.
Scott: No, Helen did.
Did you not?
Scott: Remember, I had a staring contest with one and it nearly pecked me?
We also had a walk around Garstang…
Scott: Yeah.
That’s where we went to a few shops, including the sweet shop.
Scott: Yeah.
Was the sweet shop good?
Scott: Great. Marshmallow… Stuff.
You got a big jar of that marshmallow fluff.
Scott: That’s what I said.
I thought you said marshmallow stuff.
Scott: I did.
But you meant marshmallow fluff?
Scott: Duh – yes.
We also had a picnic.
Scott: Yeah.
You had olives.
Scott: Yeah. Yeah, I did. I did.
What was the best bit of today?
Scott: Probably the farm. There was amazing ice cream flavours. I’d like to have chosen bubble gum but there wasn’t enough left.
Maybe tomorrow…
Scott: Yeah.
8-8-2012
Scott: We went to the beach, didn’t we?
Yep – what else did we do?
Scott: Existed.
Yes. We went to Happy Mount…
Scott: Oh yeah – water park!
Was that good?
Scott: Yeah.
What was best?
Scott: The water park.
And you were splashing about in the water.
Scott: Yeah – and Helen was too scared to swim in the sea. Even though I was swimming in it, Helen was too scared to exist in the sea.
We had fish and chips.
Scott: Oh yeah.
How was it?
Scott: Great.
What did you have?
Scott: Em… Just fish. Just fish!
Was it good?
Scott: Yeah. Best fish and chips I’ve ever had.
Except you had no chips.
Scott: No fish ever exist!
Then we swam in the sea…
Scott: I said that! No, seriously – I did…
Was it not cold?
Scott: Never! Never in a million years. Maybe.
