Moms 40th

Mom always said she was going to have a massive bash for her 40th birthday. A whole Abba theme with lots of dancing and singing and all her friends. Life doesn't always work out that way and we just have to adapt and be thankful for what we have which is bountiful compared to many people on this planet. We lit a candle, had some cake and chatted about moms dreams and ambitions. 

The Great Outdoors

I think Dad is taking this green stuff too far now. He expects me to lie around outside and stare up at the clouds and trees. What if some passing bird lets loose on me?  Actually I quite enjoy it and can sustain about twenty minutes of this fresh air thing. Dad must just watch for those blood sucking mozzies which leave little bumps on me. Soon I will have the strength and ability to roll over.

Visiting Day

Today I went on a road trip. What started out as three men and a baby became two men and a baby. Dads friend Rodney had to excuse himself as he was feeling poorly. Budgie sat in the back with me while Dad did the driving. First stop was Express Media, Moms old workplace. When I arrived the work in workplace was removed as the entire office gathered round to fuss over me. With everyone wanting to hold and cuddle me it was just too much and I let out a few wails and retreated to Dads familiar arms. Not too sure of this effect I have on people but I’m sure it will dissipate  when the cuteness factor wears off. After that it was back into the secure car seat and off to Salt Rock to visit good friends. What a busy day! Thanks once again to Express Media for the supply of nappies they presented me.

Trees are Us

Dad says I have to plant at least one tree per year. He started me off by planting  this Wild Pear (Dombeya rofundifolia). It will grow to about five meters and have lots of pretty white flowers in the spring. The bark can even be used for heart and stomach complaints. Dad believes trees are the most important thing in the world and without them life will not survive. I can see I still have so much to learn. I already know that I can spend hours lying on the grass outside just staring up at the trees moving with the wind. I am so lucky I don’t live in a concrete jungle.
