Under Pebble Day

Today Dodo spent resting under the pebbles that fell on him yesterday.

HIs attempts to talk his way out had failed miserably, as they were giving him the silent treatment.Eventually Flappy and Ogd found him and pulled him out, though afterwards he heard Ogd apologies to Flappy about not realizing it was Dodo.As a thankyou Dodo gave them the new brown pebble he found.

Today the people of Hamlyn celebrate the Festival of Stone where they remember when the town itself was threatened by an angry mob of stones.The stones were supported by some mud and rain and a local river joined in, thankfully (!) the town survived and only three poor districts were overrun and buried!

Passing Pebble Day

Today Dodo ate a pebble.

Usually he avoids them as they tend to gang up on him (well that what he says and the pebbles have refused to comment) but he was hungry and one of them was close by and didn’t get away fast enough (at all!).The last time Dodo had a pebble he didn’t really enjoy it and although it left him feeling quite full the after affects were a little heavy and the brown pebble he found afterwards looked strangely like the one he had eaten, perhaps they were related?

Dodo was disappointed to find that pebbles were still not very tasty and still didn’t like him as the other pebbles attacked him, even though he only took a small one from the bottom of the pile so they wouldn’t miss it!
