Dear friends! I have ‘lent’ the leading place of this magazine to Mervi and Vesa but now it’s time to claim my column back so I can tell you how my mum, my dad and I are doing.
First I check if there are any visitors to admire me. Oh yes, there are lots of two legged creatures with their cameras ready so here we go!
We’ve had some very warm days even in Ranua! Oh yes, it’s true! The trees and bushes are greenish now and I’ve seen lots of flowers, too. Mama was right – the Summer isn’t such a bad season after all! 🙂 However, now the weather is getting cooler again. I hope anyway that we can see the midnight sun in the Midsummer Eve!
I know it’s very hot in many parts of the world at the moment. For those suffering from the heat – please, follow my example and let the water cool you off!
I know you’re going to be mighty impressed when you see me jumping into our pool.
And now some surfing! Who needs a surfboard when you have two paws??
Oh bear, this was a good wave!
My submarine imitation ….
…. and here’s mama’s version. 🙂
I got a brand new ball that also looks like a ball – at least for a while, hehee…. Of course, I’ll do my best to change the shape of it. That’s what every decent polar bear does!!
This time I won’t let mama take it away from me! Mine, all mine!
Heeelp! There’s a water fall in our pool!!
– No, dear boy, it’s only me – your mama – that jumped in.
– Well, you certainly make high waves! Our pool looks like an ocean ….
As you may remember I loved to hide in the snow in the Winter time and now I’m hiding in the water.
Mama is wondering where her Nalle boy disappeared ….
Mama was so glad seeing me again so she gave me a nice kissie on my nose.
Of course, she’s a mother and wanted to give me some good advice. I’m a good boy and listen very carefully ….
…. although I must confess – between you and me! – that I often forget her words.
Mama and I spend a lot of time in the water. I guess my papa is doing the same. Let’s see if I’m right. Follow me!
Oh, papa Manasse has found a nice tyre! He seems to be thinking very hard – doesn’t he know what to do with the tyre?
Aha, he decided to play in the Hawaian way and wear it as a ‘lei’ around his neck. What a good idea! Doesn’t my dad look gorgeous!
Of course, he can’t wear the ‘black lei’ all the time. Even he makes fantastic waves!! 🙂
