Happy Birthday

Hi Everyone,

Today is my 9th birthday. I celebrated it last Saturday with a party. 83 people came to it! It was lots of fun. There was a long table with lollies, sausage rolls, sandwiches, chippies and softdrink. There was food for grown ups as well like chocolate covered apricots. Carolyn played music for all of the kids and then XinXin played piano accordian for singing Happy Birthday and the playing background music. It was awesome. So today I'm off to school and we will have mini-magnums to celebrate.

Lots of love and thankyous,

Rosie

p.s. the track is for Hex bugs

dear A. Tehzeeb,

I know it is not nearly as big as the one you have in your garden for dinner, but this only has to house me and some friends out of the rain on my birthday.

My party is this weekend and when I got home from school today there were all sorts of preparations going on. It is going to be very exciting. I will be 9 years old. Such a long time when you and mummy came and picked me up from the hospice.

lots of love

Dear U. J,

I got taken out to this restaurant with southern indian cuisine. We had a voucher which meant we got yummy food at 50% off. Mummy and Briony came with me. I had this pancake. It was like an enormous crepe or roti with dhal and raita and a tomato yoghurt.

We also had potato and eggplant and chicken dishes. There was so much food we took the left over home and ate it the next day.

I hope zainab and zekeria and all the family are very well.

loves

Happy Birthday Grandma

dear Grandma

Happy 79th birthday. Briony took these photos when we went to Junglerama a few wekes ago. I really liked playing on the roll out piano and with the balls.

Our new classrooms are on the site of Evan's Bay Intermediate School (EBIS). It is so much fun being there. We can go to Kilbirnie shops at lunchtime and off to the pool, where I now go twice a week during school to go swimming. The kids at EBIS come and play with us at lunchtime and I get to visit them in their classrooms and sometimes go to things like choir practice.

happy birthday again,

lots of love

Rose
