All the leaves are brown… and the sky certainly is grey here in Dublin today! But it seems like not all Beasties are reaching for their hats and scarves, or bedding down on the sofa to rewatch “The Muppet Christmas Carol”.
Not Paddy and Plunkett, anyway… They’re still on holiday in Lanzarote!
Today, their wandering paws have brought them to a part of the island that’s all rocks. Paddy’s not impressed – he had his fuzzy little heart set on building sandcastles. But Plunkett is in his element!
These local rocks are ideal for making stone walls, and Plunkett is determined to examine all of them!
This is starting to remind Paddy a lot of their trip to Arundel Castle, back in the summer!
Some of these walls even deserve a closer look…
…And at least that’s something Paddy can enjoy!
By the end of the day, I reckon he’d even forgotten about those sandcastles!

Lanzarote looks very appealing to me right now. I’m one of those looking forward to wrapping up in a blanket and watching ‘Muppet Christmas Carol’ and all my other favourite Christmas movies.
Yes, it’s definitely getting towards that time! Although “Muppet Christmas Carol” really should be allowed all year round… It still makes me fall around the place laughing 😀
I often find myself singing tunes from the Muppet Christmas Carol at odd times throughout the year. I have to say, sometime around mid-January, I’m going to want to be (nearly) anywhere other than the US…sigh. I’m with Plunkett – I love stone walls (although sandcastles are quite nice as well)!
I think the boys managed to reach the best possible compromise that day, don’t you? And Muppet songs are great at any time of the year… Even if they are technically Christmas songs. Then again, if stores can start selling Christmas decorations in August, that probably makes it ok!
I try to not overdo the Chrstimas-y-ness by throwing in the Muppet Theme Song now and then.
Always a classic. That, and the Fraggle Rock theme, with its funky bassline. Or Sesame Street… Oh Jim Henson, you left us too soon!
I don’t think Mr Husband ever experienced the Fraggles so when out of nowhere I sing, “Down at Fraggle Rock,” it draws some strange looks.
-GASP!-
Don’t worry, it’s never too late! I’m sure the YouTubes will happily furnish him with a wealth of Fraggle-y goodness. Then he can sing along with you!
Paddy on that wall … hilarious!!!
We have 25 C here today … so I don’t even have to go to Lanzarote fuer warmer weather. But I would love hang out on the beach there. Looks amazing.
Weeeeeird, in November?! I didn’t see that one coming! It’s even chilly here in Ireland now. Lanzarote has lots of interesting beaches… When I was there with my folks a couple of years ago, we went to a volcanic beach with black sand, and another where the beach had invaded all the fancy seaside homes that were built there in the 1970s. That last one was kind of spooky… I love exploring abandoned buildings!
Oh, I love that, too! It gives me goosebumps but I’m too curios to turn around and go elsewhere.
Only your boys could take to wall inspection to a new level LOL
Plunkett must have been a Builder Beastie in a previous life.
Sesame street has my all time vote it taught me how to say Da Niao …which means big bird in Chinese …a phrase I never ever used while in China ~ but there you go LOL
An opportunity missed… You’ll have to go back! And I’m not sure where Plunkett’s love of building comes from, but one thing’s for sure… Paddy DOES NOT share it! 😆
LOL – Don’t let Explorer Beastie tell Plunkett about the Great Wall of China Paddy just might loose his cool
Ha! I think Paddy would rather eat his own body weight in “century eggs”!
These two are just so damn cute!
Thanks! Beasties seem to have even more fun when they travel together! I’ll have to check up on them… I wonder if they’ve had any new adventures lately?
