10 weeks old

Thursday 3rd April

Well 2 major events happened this week.

Event one - I went to the doctors on Friday. It started off well - I was weighed and am now 11lb 3oz, mummy was very pleased. But then the meany doctor stabbed me twice whilst daddy stood and watched and mummy hid in the corner. I screamed a lot and think I embarrassed my mummy in the waiting room when we were leaving. Once we were in the taxi and i had had lots of cuddles I fell asleep and felt better when i woke up, but i was still sore, so mummy and daddy gave me some strawberry medicine at night to help me sleep. Most of it fell out of my mouth as they put it in, but the bit i had was nice and tasty and helped the soreness.

Event two - we moved house. On Monday lots of men came round to the house and took most of it away with them. We were left with a bed, a cot, a sofa and the tv!!! Then on Tuesday they came back and packed up all the rest of the things whilst mummy and daddy were busy cleaning. I was on my best behaviour laying in my cot watching my parsnip and zed mobile go round - this is my favourite toy at the minute i can watch it for hours (although it only lasts 4 minutes and then mummy and daddy have to come and wind it up again!!) Then i fell asleep in my pram so the men could take away my cot.

We then got on the ferry and headed across to Discovery Bay. We had a nice walk up to the apartment and when we arrived there all our things reappeared again. I like our new house as we have a garden (which i have not been able to play in yet as it keeps raining - although i like watching the trees blow in the wind), my room is nice (but it has bright red curtains in which i hope mummy is going to change!) and i have my own bathroom where my ducks live, with my sea creature towels (that Jinny and Ranesh bought me) and my new sea creature shower curtain. Mummy still needs to redecorate my room with the stickers and then i will be all settled back in.

The island is lovely as well, we are right by the park so we can go for walks and near the club where mummy is going to take me swimming soon. There is a bus stop outside which takes us to the plaza and ferry or we can walk it in about 20 minutes (daddy can  do it quicker!!), it is uphill in both directions(??!!) so mummy is hoping to get fit soon!! We are already regulars in Pacific Coffee and we are trying very hard to avoid the blueberry cheesecake.

Well that has been my busy week. Next week should be calmer we have a bank holiday weekend and then daddy is away in London, so me and mummy are planning on chilling and exploring the island - lots of nice walks (yeah!)
