The CDA on Tour - #01

August 25, 2009 11:39pm

 

 

Good evening!!!!

 

Anna and Carol here.

Guess who spent the day with us?? :D

 

It was Kris!! :dance:

 

 

= Knitted Chris

 

 

We suggested to him that we go on a day trip to the picturesque country / city of Luxembourg!

 

He became a bit impatient on the journey and started to climb around in the car!!

Look where we found him!

Doing a back bend on the mirror!

 

 

After all those exercises he said he was hungry and made us stop at a patisserie for waffles! We weren't even in the city yet!

 

 

Kris has mood swings we can tell you!!

After eating the waffles he felt guilty and was afraid of getting love handles.

Before we knew it he went on a bike and suggested leaving the car there and take a bike trip instead.

Poor Kris, we had to tell him we don't do sports except running across stadiums towards the barriers!

 

 

He wanted to find more energetic friends, but the ones he found were only less energetic than us!!!

 

 

So he gave in and came with us to Luxembourg by car.

 

 

We took him to a bridge with a nice view but all he did was moan about the height and how it made him feel dizzy (was only the waffles I can tell you :dozey:).

 

 

He kept saying "Water, water, water!" so we went to the "Grund" by the river.

 

 

But all he really wanted was a "scared...of losing all the time..." you know the rest of the lyrics.

Kris was delighted to see the name of the water!

 

 

Well, unfortunately he was full of beans again after the water and wanted to go on a bike ride again!

 

 

We politely refused again and had a feeling he felt a bit guilty!

See what he was holding when we arrived back home!!!

 

 

Trouble is - he wants to come with us. :dozey:

So watch this space for chapter 2!

 

His journey didn't end there however - it only just started!!!

 

 

We're glad he's unaware of his origins.

He knows that Carol is his mother and he found a place to live with me as his adoptive mother however.

I'll wait until later to tell him that his head is full of cotton wool - otherwise he'd be worrying even more!! :P

 

Watch this space to see what happened in the following days!!

That was absolutly brilliant!!! Thanks for sharing this!!! That made me laugh with all the comments "kris" was making.:laugh3:

Tee-hee how funny :lol:

Brilliant idea girls !

Aww! He's far cuter than 42's Coldplay puppets. :)

aww thats so cool i want a Kris!

Kris is so cute...thank you for the nice story.

Awww he is really cute! It was so awesome at the end of the Düsseldorf concert when I saw you guys, and I totally burst out squeeing when I saw HIM! Couldn't stop myself from touching him, so very plushy he is! :cheesy:

Ahaha. Very cool. :wacko:

Awesome. :) This was a brilliant idea! :P

haha that was brilliant :laugh3:

cant wait for chapter 2

#02

August 26, 2009

 

Kris all packed and ready to go in the morning:

 

 

He begged us to take him with us - his biggest wish (as big as that can be as a puppet) was to be near to his big brothers.

 

So we gave in, how could we refuse him after having the tickets for the concert in our hands?

 

Anyhow, what's the point of coming all the way from the UK to Germany and not to make the most of visiting some of the beautiful places on the way?

 

Our first stop took us to Trier and Kris immediately felt a connection when he saw the bell!

 

 

Roman Cavalry Choirs were not something we could offer him, but we found him a Roman city gate instead: The Porta Nigra.

 

 

Without even crossing a river, Kris was still lost and asked for help.

The two warm-blooded women he was with told him they'd know the way to the Palace, but he trusted a cardboard policeman more :dozey:

 

 

As soon as he saw the palace he told us a story about seeing a similar one where his big brother used to live before he had to sweep the streets!

He confused truth and song lyrics here!!

 

 

 

Next to it the Roman baths weren't exactly what he expected them to be.

 

 

On the way back we found a bathing villa in the appropriate size for him however and we gained back his confidence and that we have his best interests at heart.

 

 

The day ended in Düsseldorf for Kris with unexpectedly getting as close to his destination as possible:

Inside the arena where his big brothers would be playing only some 20 hours later!!

 

 

After a long day it was time to get some rest - the next one would be even longer!

 

 

Stay tuned to see Kris's adventures the following day!

Ahahha Anna that is great..I am doing something similar with one of Snowhite's dwarves (Grumpy), he's dressed up in Viva clothes, and he's coming with me everywhere, a bit like Amelie's dwarf :D

Does that mean there's now going to be a whole series of these kinds of threads??:shocked2:

The way things are going Ian will have to create a new "puppet" sub-forum.:rolleyes:

Mariana's threatening to unleash her pink hippo (which I've already "met") too!!

I've been posting his pics on twitter and on FB, but he's not only following Coldplay, he has seen many other bands now and has already been to Wembley twice :D

 

@Mark: don't worry, I'm not gonna open another thread, tough I find it funny we are already three with more or less the same idea :laugh3:

The real Chris would never get that close to a waffle for fear of a calorie jumping out at him. :laugh3:
