Lotsa news
Friend,
Good to see you here again. Lots to catch up on!
I had a ball with mum's folks down here. Even spent the long Easter weekend with them. We also went to the islands again.
I really enjoyed Grossmami and Grosspapi's company. That they brought goodies for Easter has nothing to do with my enjoyment, of course. I'd like to say it was my first encounter with chocolate but this very blog would provide evidence against that statement. I reckon I could live off chocolate for a wee bit. And be merry.
These genes are hard to shake off, aren't they? Or maybe she's just trying to mimic my look in that picture.
We had a jolly good time.
We got along so well that I arranged for mum and dad to head off for Easter. We had a wonderful time. I don't know what my folks were up to. All I got were a couple of lousy pictures, pasted below for your perusal.
The five of us then hopped to Fiji for a few days. Had to rough the routine early in the morning. Mum and dad say my behaviour was 'exemplary' on that flight. Pfff. As if it were my first...
Then had to endure a longish boat ride. And a rough one at that!
In the end if was all worth it. I got at warm welcome - in every way.
The weather topped expectations, the food was great and the music was astonishing. Great family time.
The water was a steady 30 degrees. That's just about enough for dad and Grosspapi to dip in.
We got back by more civilised means than the bloody boat. Now that's really cool (if noisy!)
"James, push that throttle will you?"
Final thrills for Grossmami and Grosspapi was a Sydney scenic. More thrills for him than for her, if we're honest - he gets weak bowels flying small stuff since a bad experience some 30 years ago. At any rate they made it back alright and with a story to tell.
I miss them!

The world's awesomest pebble
So earlier this week mum and dad took me over to see "something I'll like". And they were so right!
Then things got awfully noisy. But that was soon over and I went back to my precious.
In a funny way though, they dragged me through a whole lot of other stuff before the main event. That included oddly shaped and sounding cars (good colours I must admit)...
... some posing with mum
... a high chair that smelled a lot like oil and some more posing with dad
Until FINALLY, they showed me what we really came for: the word's awsomest pebble!
OMG that pebble was simply a-ma-zing.
This pebble kept giving and giving.
Thank gods my parents let me take it home. I'm so thankful. But frankly why did they bother driving me all the way out to Ardmore if they could have simply brought it to me? Go figure.
