Spiders homes

dear Liam and Caitlin

You are coming back to Wellington? It is very cold here but now I have a trampoline and you can get warm by jumping up and down. There are also lots of spiders homes in my garden. If you look at them early in the morning they are very clean. Then by nighttime they are all full of food and are dirty.

Trampy therapy

dear XinXin,

This is cool playing music on the tramp.

I am going to miss our music time when you go home to China for three months. I get so excited each day when it is about to happen. You should get your daddy to teach you shishong cooking and then you can cook me some next year.

Tramping

dear Matt,

Thankyou so much for putting up the trampoline. It is just so much fun. You saw I had music with XinXin on it and the yesterday I got to lie around with Eleanor and Julie. Mel will love it too when she comes home. We can all play on it together.

And it was real cool to visit your friends and sing 'Wind the Bobbin Up' even if they weren't as good on the words as me :)

lots of hugs

Osteopath observation

dear Grandma and Grandad

Today I went to see an osteopath. He looked at my bones and my muscles to see if they were normal or not. He also tested my reflexes.

Everything is normal and I have good symmetry and great flexibility.

The problem is the software doesn't communicate properly to the hardware.

He said lots of repetition will help- lots and lots of repetition.

Billy Boy

dear Billy

I am sorry you have hurt your leg. Your bandage looks very cool.

This morning I am going to see an osteopath to get some advice on how to use my legs better : )

It would be fun to have races with you but I have to learn to run properly first. Also I think my trampoline has arrived and when that is up, you can come and visit and we can do jumping together.

lots of love

Bubbles and baths

dear Soi,

Thankyou for all the baths you give me and for sharing

your cell-phone vids. I hope you are having a really nice holiday and I get to see you again real soon.

It is still raining. Sometimes the sun pretends to come out but then it runs away again.

Matt is going to take me roller blading in the weekend. He used to play inline hockey and so maybe he will teach me that as well. If I can't stand up very well then the other Matt is going to help me as well.

love

Rosie

Rain Rain the More it Rains

dear Fatima,

It just rains at my home. Every day it rains. This is my raincoat that I wear to school. I just have to get down the steps and then the taxi van will be waiting at the bottom. There is a driver and a student and his helper. From my home we go straight to school, down the hill and on the motorway, then off the motorway and round the streets past the government. I love catching the taxi. I come home in the taxi to but with a different driver. Both the drivers are very nice.

Is your studying very interesting? I don't have to study.

love Rosie XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Beetle in Blue

dear Eleanor

We are going to have fun driving the new car. I had to go to New Plymouth to collect it. It took five hours to drive there and five hours to drive back but I stopped at McDonalds (twice) and had fish and chips at Opunake.

In New Plymouth I went to Pumpkin Patch and bought some sunglasses and a sundress for Fiji.

See you on Monday

Love

Fiji here I come

dear Mel,

I am going to Fji!. I haven't been in such a big plane for a long time. I know mummy was meant to be coming to see you but this is going to be even more exciting for me. There will be a pool and kayaks and lots of food and running and sun. Briony is coming too. She is very happy because she will have finished her exams and then she gets to play with me. She has to get a passport first. I already have a passport.

missing you

Vespa in action

Dear Janet,

Thankyou for taking this video of mummy and me on Vespa. Thankyou Bill for extracting it. Those Sony people sure make it hard.

Vespa has been sitting in the garage while I have been on holiday but I am wanting to have a ride after school today. I think she must be very lonely in the garage.

love and hugs
