¡Las Aventuras de Capitán Irregular!(2)
Hello everyone and welcome to my new thread The Adventures of Captain Irregular. And who on earth is Captain Irregular? Read here!
And so here's how this thread will work. Hopefully every two or three weeks I will post a new adventure. The game? To post a sentence, both in Spanish and English about the Capitan's latest adventure And the rules of my thread..
I will moderate any English used. And for The Captain's Adventures 2 and 3 I have been fortunate enough to enlist the services of two moderators Mariana and Kiwi-Girl . Mariana and Kiwi-Girl will "come and go" as their time permits. So yes, we'd best be on our toes with two moderators keeping an eye on us!
And although it probably seems my threads are somewhat frivolous, the paths they represent in my Spanish language journey are not. To moderate a thread is hard work and time consuming for moderators. Please re-visit your post and make any corrections Mariana or Kiwi-Girl have suggested.
Here are two pictures of the Captain's second "Adventure" and a bit of a story-line to get you guys "off and running".
Y sí, aquí vemos El Capitán relajandose al lado de su favorita catarata local - felizmente inconsciente de lo que ha pasado con las botas. Bizi está allí con su amigo fiel y normalmente, siendo nocturno, se echaría una siesta en unos de los botas pero solamente piensa a sí mismo - ¡Lágate bestia!
Sentirse libre a comentar en la situación en los que El Capitán se encuentra sí mismo.
When you are in Australia never leave your shoes unattended on the ground. If you do there's a better than even chance that some type of creature will crawl inside; make a home and probably become very cross when you try and put your shoes back on.
And yes, here we see The Captain relaxing at his favourite local waterfall blissfully unaware of what has happened with his gum boots. Bizi is there also with his faithful friend and normally, being nocturnal, he would be napping in one of the gum boots. But he just thinks to himself "Clear off you beast!"
Feel free to comment on the situation that the Captain now finds himself in.

Querido diario, Edit:
Desgraciademente, perdí mis botas favotitas esta tarde porque un gran bicho decidió a hacer su casa en la izquierda. ¡No me gustan los insectos! Ahora, tengo que comprar botas nuevas. También, no he terminado de leer mi libro para mi clase de español. Espero sacar una buena nota en el examen mañana. P.S. Los pies están helados. Cap

Dear Diary,
Unfortunately, I lost my favorite boots this afternoon because a big bug decided to make his house in the left one. I don't like insects! I have to buy new boots, now. Also, I have not finished reading my book for Spanish class. I hope to get a good grade on the test tomorrow. P. S. My feet are freezing.

La Lista de Bizi (Bizi's list)
(A note from 4annie ) I love to "discover" new words and when creating this second adventure I came across these fabulous words and phrases. Of course I haven't listed all meanings for these words and phrases, just how they might be used in the story-line for Adventure 2..
Although my friends I haven't managed to somehow wind these words and phrases into the story-line for Adventure 2 you guys are more than welcome to make use of them.
puncture = el pinchazo
sunstroke = el insolación
rubber boots, Wellington boots ("Wellies") or as we say in Australia "gum boots" = botas de goma
murky water = agua sucia
los pies están helados = my feet are freezing
el cangrejo de río = crayfish or as we say in Australia- a "yabby"
And of course my friends a very useful irregular verb - leer = to read link text
A friend of the Captain (who was relaxing), Terri Turtle, was passing by and said, "No wonder you have insects in your footwear! Why aren't you wearing the new wallies wellies that I gave you for Christmas?" Insects like to have a permanent home, not just a place to stay for the winter.
Una amiga de El Capitán (quien fue relajante estaba relajandose), Terri Tortuga, pasó a estar pasando por y por alli y le dijo "¡No es extraño raro que tienes insectos en su tu calzado! ¿Por qué no llevas las botas de goma nuevas que te di regalé para la Navidad?" Los insectos desean tener una vivienda permanente, no sólo un lugar para quedarse durante por el invierno.
Okay Annie it is a case of " come in spinner".
Las botas de goma del capitán , han estado en el sol por dos horas
y tienen un mal olor. Una cucaracha estaba en la bota y ahora está muerto. Las botas
del capitán son un mal lugar a vivir.
The gum boots of the Captain , they have been in the sun for two hours
and have a bad smell . A cockroach was in the boot and is now dead.
the Captains boots are a bad place to live.
Pobre capitán irregular estaba debajo del sol esperando la salida del mal olor
de la botas de goma
, pero ha olvidado a usar bloqueador y ahora
su cara es de color rojo brillante.Nos se llamamos capitán remolacha.
Poor Captain irregular was sitting in the sun waiting for his gum boots
to be less smelly , but he forgot to use sun cream and his face is now
a brilliant red colour. We now call him Captain beetroot.
El Capitán Irregular cree que había veía ha visto un cangrejo de río. Como Mientras se inclina sobre de para mirar en el agua, se vuelca y ahora sus pies están congelado congelando y su libro es está completamente mojado.
Captain Irregular believes he has seen a crayfish. As he leans over to look into the water, he tips over and now his feet are freezing and his book is soaking wet.
Oops I think Captain Strikeout has struck! No - all good now 
¡Capitán Tachar - el archienemigo de Capitán Irregular!
Esto es muy desgraciado para el pobre Capitán. Tiene su libro mojado, y la tinta empieza a desteñir; los pies están hecho carámbanos y ni siquiera puede ponerse las botas de goma, pues están llenos de bichitos contentos con su hogar nuevo.

All this is very sad for the poor Captain. His book is wet, and the ink is beginning to run; his feet are veritable icicles and he can't even put on his gum boots, because they're full of creepy-crawlies who are quite pleased with their new home.
