Have I introduced you about our neighbours? For the purpose of my own amusement and the prosperity of the tradition of giving important people superhero names.. they shall hence forth be known as Rogue and Wolverine (yes, I’m slightly addicted to X-Men ).

Rogue and Wolverine have a gorgeous son, Wonderboy, who is 12 7th of awesome. Yesterday Rogue and I were outside playing Wonderboy Pong while Ickle happily practiced gardening in Em’s non prize winning rose moving dirt one handful at a time and relocating it to the grass or her mouth. Even Rogue’s airplane rides could not break the habit so I suggested Ickle jump in the bath.

Ickle is a big fan of baths, she tries to climb in full clothed and has started to undress herself thinking she’ll get in quicker. Yesterday she’d played with so much dirt there was even dirt in her nappy… and she was wearing a onesie!

We’re down to a week and a bit until we go away. We’re so excited and seem to have everything under control at the moment; random. We still need a few things and I’m hoping Ickle will be interested in coming shopping with me today to pick them up. I managed to find the only shop that was selling shorts in Winter in Adelaide and picked up two pairs of shorts that actually fit – within the week every store must have heard I needed shorts as they all started selling them. I need to call all the airlines we’re traveling on to ask about car seats on the plane – I guess I should do that now while grunge is asleep
