Hi guys Hope you have had a great day. I just thought of something I didn't tell you. Most drivers will wait for instructions from you as to when it is ok for them to go and have their lunch or dinner. So make sure if you are sightseeing or having a meal at lunchtime or dinnertime that you tell them to go and get some food otherwise they probably won't eat! Fi xx

dear mum and dad

Today me and grandma walked home from school.

love reg

Get well soon Ariana. So sorry to hear you have been sick ... but I'm sure Grandma will soon have you right. Love from Nana and Grandad x x

Hope you had a good night last night in Cochin. Guess today you will be going to see the fishing nets. An amazing place.

An Ariana update for you!! At mid night she came down saying not good, throat and head so took temp and it was a bit high so gave her nurfen and she had some water. Was just at bottom of the stairs when I heard her out of bed and vomitting all over the floor in the TV Room !!!!! Oh dear Pop not only good at painting !!!! She was a bit upset naturally - Reagan up to the cirucs also!! Ariana back down at 2.00 so I gave her some panadol this time and she settled down and slept till 7.00. Meanwhile Reagan was up again at 4 with another nightmare?

Ariana in bed and still does not want anything to eat but is drinking. Temp 37.5 is this about normal for her. Just given her some more nurofen as head and throat still sore. Guess if no better tomorrow will need to take her to the Dr.

Raining here again, so will wait till it stops before taking Milo for a walk. She good.

Gayle just called to work out a day for lunch and some retial therapy and golf for Dad, have put her on hold until we see how the patient is tomorrow. Pop of course painting, he is such a perfectionist and the doors are taking foreever. He is struggling a bit with aches and pains but as Reagan told me he is old !!!!

Have aa good day. Take care

Love always

Hey India

Excellent dress ups going on....no doubt Ariana has good reason to be concerned about that being worn in public!!! So what's the best thing you've eaten so far? Found a paneer to try yet? Also I'd like know how much better a naan over there is compared here. Nothing like a cold Kingfisher to wash down some heat. So not much happening here. Boys are good and looking forward to their trip to Aust. Birthday planning and bribes well underway ;) And starting to think about school. Holy cow Batman....they gonna be so cute all dressed up in uniform!!! Have fun :)

We had a wonderful time with you and are so pleased you got to share in our Indian adventure! Sorry to hear it is raining in Cochin after the beautiful weather in Bangalore - hope it fines up for you soon. Love to hear about your Kerala feast! Stay safe and enjoy! xxxx

Hi Guys, looks like the Whites showed you a fantastic time in Bangalore - pics are great. Melbourne is feeling very boring in comparison. Loving the blog, keep up the good work and most of all enjoy yourselves.! xxx

Sounds like you are having a fab time!! Love the blog. Life as normal here in chch, spring is beautiful, blossom appearing on the trees in hagley park, lovely to run through! Kittens are nearly 3 weeks old now, super cute! Look forward to more posts and photos, love you guys xx

Hi there. Pleased all good in Coxhin. A long day for me today. Reagan decided he was going to have two nightmares last night and by the time I eventaully got to sleep the alarm was going off !! However got them to school on time then walked Milo and got to swimming to watch Reagan who is swimming so well We then went to Coles and Dad had a panic attack over the price of fish - but we still brought it and did some grocery shopping etc. Got home with 15 mins to make and eat lunch before going to school to join with Ariana"s grade and listen Kyle Vander-Kuyp an Indigenous Oz athlete. He was great and the kids just loved him. Then onto the classroom to watch the plays - all good. Ariana on way home said that she was not feeling too well with a sore throat and head and wanted to go to bed !! Did not want avo tea.. Hence some pamol and throat lozengers. Had 1/2 crupmet for dinner and now alread asleep so I am thinking maybe a day at home tomorrow, Do not worry tho she is in very capable hands and we do have pru's number !!!!

Reagan's class is doing a woodwork and electronics centre for kids from Mon 24th oct. I am sure you want me to enroll him but have you paid the excursion levy or do I send the 16 or 19 dollars to cover the workshop?

His printing has improved so much you will be so impressed - Not too sure that they will be wanting us to look after them next year when you go to New York tho !!!!!

The painting going ok, Told tongiht that another very full day he could finish the dining room. All looking good.

Today it was 19 and the sun was even out, wahing all dried on the line and still do not have the heaters on !!!

We had flathead, chips and salad for dinner which was so yummy. Reagan finsihed his meal with a magnum !!!

All good enough here. Hope that Ariana feels better tomorrow otherwise we will just let her have an at home day.

Have a great time in Cochin, we were only there 3 months ago so can imagine what you are doing and seeing.

Take care. Love you always

Mum & Dad

Ariana
Was thinking I would just wear it for school drop off and pick ups and maybe to Netball if the weather warms up, it is very comfortable!
Pleased to hear you think i look good in it,
Love you Dad

love Ariana pretty boy with you sari on!

We have had a very wet weekend. Came home and found a leak in our bedroom - just missing our bed ! So ... Dad had to scramble up into the roof - he was not a happy chappie ! We held our breath when we woke to very heavy rain early this morning - but so far so good. Today Dad has been up on the roof and found nails had lifted - problem fixed. Sounds like you are having a great time - we are enjoying the photos and your messages. Also good keeping track of how things are going at Mills Street. Big hugs to Ariana and Reagan. I am off to Book Club tonight - back to reality here. Loved the photos, esp Philip in his outfits !!!! love to you both x
