Bicycle Morning Sound

Bicycle Morning


Bicycle Morning
Riding along it’s a bicycle morning, trying to catch on the wind
Riding along and taking in the sunshine and being with all of my friends
I don’t have cares, no I ain’t got worries
‘Long as I’m riding with you
Just riding along and taking in the sunshine
We sing our happy song
Ride, ride, ride, it’s a bicycle morning
Ride, ride, ride, it’s a sun shiny day
Ride, ride, ride, it’s a bicycle morning
Just taking in the sunshine and being in love all the way.

I can see clearly across all the fields now, flowers of all different kinds
The birds are all singing and having such a good time
I know they won’t pay us no mind
I can see Farmer Brown’s house on the corner
Look as he’s waving good-bye
And I just feel so doggone happy
I wish that I could touch the sky
Ride, ride, ride, it’s a bicycle morning
Ride,ride,ride, it’s a sun shiny day
Ride, ride, ride, it’s a bicycle morning
Just taking in the sunshine and being in love all the way.

Bran Muffins Recipe Read.






Bran Muffins in the microwave.


Bran Muffins in the microwave
Things you will need
½ cup of really hot water- an adult will need to help you with this.
1 ¼ cups of bran
50g melted butter- an adult will need to help you with this.
1 egg
½ cup brown sugar (white sugar will be OK to use)
¾ cup plain yoghurt (If you only have fruity yoghurt it will be OK to use)
1 ¼ cups of flour
1 ¼ teaspoons of baking soda
¼ teaspoon of salt
½ cup raisins or sultanas. If you don’t have any just leave this part out.
A big mixing bowl, a small mixing bowl and a fork
2 cups or coffee mugs. Don’t use any that have gold paint on them.
Paper baking cases or strips of baking paper.
What to do-(Method)
1.    Put ½ cup of hot water and melted butter into the mixing bowl. Mix these together.
2.    Add 1 ¼ cups of bran and mix it all together.
3.    Break the egg into the small mixing bowl and beat with a fork. Stir in the sugar and the yoghurt.
4.    Tip these into the big bowl with the bran. Stir it until it is all mixed together.
5.    Put 1 ½ cups of flour, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 ¼ teaspoons of baking soda into the big bowl and stir gently.
6.    Add the raisins or sultanas. If you used fruity yoghurt do not put in dried fruit.
7.    Put a paper baking case, or your strips of baking paper, into each cup or mug.
8.    Put a large spoon of the mixture into each cup.
9.    Put the cups in the microwave and cook on High for 1 min. You might need to cook them for 1 ½ minutes if you use big cups. The cups might be hot so be careful when you take them out. I just tip mine upside down on a plate to get them out.

The mixture can be kept, with a cover over it, in the fridge for a week. You can have fresh muffins every day.

Lizard on my deck.

This minute lizard was on my deck today. It is a skink. It was a baby skink. It was about 5 cm long. I had a lot of trouble getting a picture of it.
Find something in your house that is 5 cm long so you can see how small it was.
Minute means "very small." In English we have another word - minute- which is spelled the same but is to do with time , as in hours  and minutes.
