Hi people, it's Leo here. Do you know I have action fingers? Not action figures, action fingers! Today's column photo shows my action fingers, right here. I just drew some faces and bodies on my hands, my left hand was really good because I drew it with my right hand (I write with my left hand). But my right hand was terrible because I was using my left hand. They were sword fighting, my hands....and in the fight, just at the end, my left hand killed my right hand and my left hand won the tournament! I used my small green table as the battle field. I had drawn a soccer pitch on it before, for a new game I invented called balls and sticks. But that, is a whole other story.

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. Remember I talked to you about the Darwin Museum exhibitions and I mentioned some boats? Well, we are going to talk about them a bit more. I told you that I had three favourite boats. My first favourite boat was very big, just like the other two. It had two masts, two gangways and a little cabin - it's a shame that we couldn't go on them. I really wanted to see what it was like on the inside and also climb the mast.My second favourite boat was quite long and it had no masts. It just had a steering room and I don't know what was in the hold, it might have stored fish - it was a fishing boat, they all were. My last favourite boat er, well I can't really remember it. The people on these boats weren't from Darwin - they were from somewhere else. They were arrested for fishing in Australian waters and the only thing left from them, were their boats.

Until next time

Story filed: Trout Fishing
Hi people, it's Leo here. Yesterday I went in a little trip. We went to swimming carnival and it was fun. I got to play in the kids fountain pool - not very for long though, just for short periods of time. We stayed in a lovely house with some people that had a really great bike and a really cool dog called Bo. The lady's husband - well, his dad lived next door and he let us go into his garden that had a small creek. In the creek he had made a small pier and next to the pier was a fishing rod - he was fishing for trout! The most amazing thing was..........all of it.

Until next time

Story filed: Birthdays
Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I just had my birthday, my ninth birthday! I had a pool party. For the party food we got hot chips, chicken nuggets, sausage rolls and party pies and I stuffed my face with them......and I didn't have much room for my delicious ice-cream birthday cake. Well, it wasn't that good as the chocolate didn't really taste like ice-cream chocolate. Everyone else seemed to like it, so that made me happy. Before all of that, we were playing some games and our third game was jumping off the edge of pool onto a floating mat held by the two swimming guys - you have to jump on it and try not to slip over - you can't use your hands. It was fun! But sadly, one of my friends jumped and landed funny and hurt her leg so, she had to go home - her brother could stay. I hope she gets better soon. The end.

Until next time
