Well, I do like my new lifestyle! Swimming and sunshine everyday, a trip on a boat and a frozen yoghurt smoothie and a new playground almost everyday! I could get used to this!
On the downside my pink trike disappeared off the balcony whilst I was swimming the other day, replaced by a note saying "sorry our 3 year old missed her bike, so we've borrowed it back"! Luckily I am ok with sharing, so it hasn't bothered me too much.
We went hiking up a big hill on Sunday to see the view (well, I say "we hiked", what I mean is that mummy and daddy hiked and daddy carried me in the backpack!). All the same it was very hot and by the time we got to the top, I was parched!
I shared mummy's soup and daddy's burger for lunch and when we got to the bottom of the hill, I got to play on the slide in the playground! After my nap, and a walk around a really big garden, I got to eat ice cream, in a kind of cookie sandwich, and drink milk out of a big boy glass. Yummy!
Daddy started work on Monday, so I have mainly been hanging out with mummy. She isn't quite so much fun as daddy, as she always remembers to brush my teeth and she says that she won't put up with my nonsense, which means that she gets cross with me if I keep doing something after she has said no. But we still have fun, she takes me on the boat and sometimes we share a frozen yoghurt smoothie, I can't say smoothie, so I call it "cold", luckily mummy understands what I mean when I ask for "more more cold?"
We have also been going to a lot of playgrounds. There is one right under Story Bridge, which is just up the way from our apartment. I like it because it has a really big slide with bumps in it, and I can do it all by myself! It also has a wobbly boat with steering wheels. Mummy stands in the back and makes the boat wobble which makes me giggle, she is fun sometimes, you see!
You can see the bridge in the background here, but here is a better picture of it. We played until it was getting dark and the bridge lights came on.
Then we went home. It was pretty dark. We saw something big with a long fluffy tail run up a tree, mummy said it was probably a possum or a glider, but it was too dark to tell. Then, I saw some really big birdies and I pointed them out to mummy, she said that they were flying foxes, which apparently are a type of bat. I just thought they were birds that could see in the dark! Still, better than at home, where if I am really lucky I might see a squirrel in the park, but more likely just some kids kissing or smoking!
Today has been really hot. It was too hot to stay and play outside, so after we finished the errands, we just went home. At least I still got to ride on the boat and it was a pretty walk home, as some of the trees are covered in purple flowers which smell great. Mummy says they are jacaranda trees and they smell like honey
That is our house poking over the top of the tree!
Oh, good news, I found a train set in the cupboard and I love playing with it! I have put it on my Christmas list already, because I would really like to have one at home when I go back. I hope Santa thinks I have been good enough!
Tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter: 32 daddy says, whatever that means...so mummy says that we probably won't go out in the morning, we might just go for a swim and wait until the afternoon breezes arrive before we go out to play. I hope they arrive early! But if they don't, I'll just watch some more Thomas the Tank Engine on my iPad (shhh, mummy and daddy think it is theirs!) and play with my trains.....perhaps I'll take a jacuzzi bath....oh boy, life is tough!
