The aquarium had a ball pit, as you do. Bloody marvelous idea.

Dear reader,

All at once nothing much has happened and yet so much is going on! The days just drift into each other in a haze of heat and sunshine (that's the not-much-happening part) and yet I am now a non-diaper wearing individual of this world and WHOA! can I get a high-five here please?!? Yep, totally potty trained, that's me. Well, mostly really. Sometimes I get distracted sorting shoes or playing iPad and then I have to summon the authorities with a well placed "oh nooooo" to clean things up. But that's all in the past [ed. note: couple of days past at least..] and I can't tell you how much nicer it feels to be running around in my Peppa Pig underpants instead of in those big and sticky plastic diapers. A liberation, truly.

In other news, we went to the aquarium in Palma. Me, to see the jelly fish and sharks, and the authorities to be somewhere with a/c. A win-win situation.

Lots and lots of lobsters.
HUGE octopus.
The waterfall was just a tiny bit scary cause it was really loud. But it was also really nice and cool next to it so I tried to calm the authorities and made them stand there for a picture. Does them good to overstep their fears every once in a while I think.

Our other favorite option for cooling off is swimming of course. At least once a day we head to the beach, down to the sea or into the pool. Although my favorite is usually sea followed by pool. Especially after that weird encounter with the Russian grandma at the beach who tried to force-feed me cake. Woman, I didn't WANT any! Got it?! Sheesh... [ed. note: after making her grandson cry because she wouldn't let Small Paw share her croissant with him, grandma shooed the nanny off to buy cake and insisted on us taking some "it is politic"! Here's to hoping she meant 'polite'.]

And I am dancing with myself, uh oh oh, dancing with myself...
Sand cake time. Grab a seat, make yourself comfortable.

Of course any outside activity like swimming requires a thorough application of sunscreen first.

Another whisker here, and some dots over there... Okay, all done.

Anyway, as you can see things are going swimmingly here in Mallorca (haha, swimmingly, get it?!). Tomorrow my godmother comes to visit me and then Ham-el and some more people will make an appearance too so I'm going to be busy busy busy for the next 10 days. Always a pleasure though to have more people around. Let the party begin!

Lots of kisses,
Small Paw
