What a busy month this has been ... our last in the UK!
The month started off with a visit from Daddy's cousin Jessica, and her husband Gordie and their son Callum. I was not in the best mood when they arrived on the Saturday, Mummy was trying to put me down for a nap, but I would just not have it! After a lot of crying, Mummy and Daddy gave in and let me get up! We went for a walk in the afternoon, and Daddy bought me a pack of In the Night Garden stickers ... I've found my new passion!! It keeps me entertained for a while ...
Sticker fun with Daddy and Jess
Telling Callum about the ways of the worldWe all had fun that weekend, although it was the start of a terrible period of teething, where I had 4 new teeth pop through. Golly gosh, we were all a bit knackered at the end of it!
For the rest of the month, it was getting things ready ... we found a new home for Costa, but he was a boomerang cat, and so he is coming back to Australia with us! I've learnt to say Costa's name now, and I am looking forward to having him as a pet again in Melbourne!
On the 22nd August (Happy Birthday Auntie Catherine) Mummy and Daddy did the Birchwood 10 km Run (in Warrington) for the last time. Between them they've done it every year for the past 4 years. Mummy was a bit nervous because when she did it last year she wasn't very fit and felt awful for the rest of the day; but she is much fitter now, and ran about 8 mins faster than last year and finished with a smile ... well, let's say she did anyway! Dadddy did well too! I spent the morning playing with William, we had such fun, but wore Lindy and Mike out looking after us!
Mummy finished work on the 26th August, and Daddy on the 27th August. Our last weekend in the UK was here ... the cars were sold on ebay, things were being sorted and there were people to visit! On Friday Mummy treated me to a 'coffee' (milk only) at Starbucks ...
Afterwards it was off to get my haircut, but second time around I wasn't as well behaved. I had Jimmy, the hairdresser, sitting on the floor trying to cut my hair! He he!! Then it was off swimming, and time to say goodbye to Lindy and William. In the afternoon we picked up Daddy from work and then went to the park. We had to run back to the car to escape the rain, but we were off to meet up with Ellie, Paul and Sam. We ended up staying the night at their place so Mummy and Daddy could have a couple of extra drinks!
Causing trouble with Sam in the restaurant...We said goodbye to Costa on Sunday, as Daddy took him to the special people who will transfer him to Australia ... so good-bye for about 1.5-2 months. Mummy and Daddy were busy with tidying, cleaning, renovations, gardening, packing ... our neighbours Vicky and Annabelle looked after me for an afternoon and I had lots of fun with them.
Phew, off on our travels soon ...
