Huffing and puffing all weekend
Hello mummy, I am at Stronsay with the grandparents. I was such a good boy on the trip here.... I sat in my plastic bed most of the way and when we stopped at Brookton, I didn't even go in the water!! How restrained and well behaved is that?! Today I went to town on the back of the ute and sat in the shade while the grandparents had a delicious and fairly prompt coffee at the Mallee Shed. On our way home, we visited Blue who hadn't been well but who is now on the mend. By the way, I jumped up onto the tray all by myself, over the edge and all!!! I didn't get out of the ute with Trailer when we arrived at the front gate. I sometimes wonder if I should join him for the run to the house, but I have to look after my feet. They are a bit delicate, as you know. I have shadowed Colin all afternoon, at his heels constantly from shed to house and back again. I am really looking after him well. We visited the chooks too and there are lots of good smells there but not as many eggs as usual.... everythnig is very dry here and no rain in sight. The grandparents were saying something about a lot of alcohol you consumed but I can't imagine my mummy doing anything too bad, so I'll ignore that. Peanut is with me at Stronsay but I have been so busy I haven't given him/her much attention. I still have your t-shirt in my bed and haven't forgotten your smell or that you love me. Tomorrow I am going back to Perth with Mobow and either Monday or Tuesday going back to Mia's house. Like you, I am quite the jet setter.... travelling all over the place! Much love, Vegemite.

28, great? I can't wait!
ha ha ha ha! you make me laugh! that sounds like a fabulous night, lychee martinis and dancin on eski's! really who could ask for more! lisa xx

Happy Birthday!!!
Hi Chloe, Sounds like you are having a good time and fitting lots in. The photos are great - keep up the good work. Happy birthday for Tuesday - I'm sure it will be one to remember. Love, Uncle Pat.

yay for photos
Hi Sissy these photos are great to see, thank you. The kids are so beautiful, and talented! I can feel your tiredness, infact how did you ever bother to post these photos after such a long day, with another coming by the sounds of it. I hope you enjoy Siam Reap and your birthday, we will be thinking of you. Love you lots, Mia xxx

songs for the lil kiddies
Hiya Sticker Lady, You sound like you are having a ball and it sounds just like you planned it. I guess you will be teaching all different aged kids over the time you are there. So here is small supply of songs to sing next time you a with the little munckins. If you don't know all the words to them, I'm sure you can google the title or part of the lyrics and find out the rest...but I'm sure you will know most of them, the titles will jog your memory. 1 little, 2 little, 3 three little indians etc up to 10 Where is thumbkin? (With fingers) Wind the Bobbin up (has actions) 12345 once I caught a fish alive open shut them 2 little dickie birds sitting on a wall (finger rhyme) Head, shoulders, knees and toes Tony Chestnut Twinkle Twinkle Baa Baa black sheep Jack and Jill Humpty Dumpty ABC Alison's camel has 1 (2, 3, 4 etc) hump The ants go marching Hopefully that makes a change from good Old Macca and the like xx

local lingo
Hi darling, I see you are already learning a few words of the local language. It seems you are doing lots with the other volunteers, which is great... I would hate to think you were lonely. Is there anyone close to you in age? I hope the fundraising day goes well. Is Cambodia on the same time frame as Australia, as we thought? You also mentioned going to Siem Reap around your birthday, on the 'long weekend'. How come it is a long weekend in Cambodia? Was the local market like the one we went to in Vietnam? Sorry to ask so many questions, but I want to get as much info from you as possible, so I can better understand what you are doing and what life is like for you. I am off to Soda Sunlounge in a little while for coffee with Felicity and Susana. Had a great night last night with Joan and Chris etc at Winthrop Hall. The music and dance was spectaular.... the program entitled 'Out of Africa'... songs, dance and drums from a variety of African countries. I am loving having a weekend at home with only a few social outings. I have ironed, read and done a bit of french homework. Went to the gym on Friday and washed my filtyhy car. Used the treadmill yesterday and will again later today. Have a school function which I will go to for an hour from about 4.30 onwards - it is a picninc day for families and David asked us to drop in if we could, but no obligation to do so. Love your blogs. They could never be boring. Keep them coming. Do you think the clothes you brought are sufficient, of the right kind etc? Love you HEAPS. Mum

Hey Chloe, great to see your travel plans have come to fruition! How exciting. Hope you love it over there and take heaps of pics! Keep me updated on all the news, love to hear about your travels. All well and good with me, still on the gold coast, went to bali with a group of around 15 last year, was awesome, then just got back from NZ on a family trip. Was so good i didnt want to come home. Anyhoo, keep me posted and take care. xxx
