Yawn, today I am sleeping in the ca! on the way back to esperance. We drove a long way in the ca! this weekend to stay with auntie Jane in Albany. At auntie Jane's place there are chickens, and ducks, and a dog, and some cousins and lots of toys and a trampoline. All of these things are fun and varying degrees of scary, and some lick my fingers and some peck me and some make alarming noises like 'quaaaack quack quack' and 'woof' and 'aaaeeeeeee! Edmund stole my biscuiiiiiiiit! Waaaaaaaaa!" and "ooooh have you got a cuddle for aunty jane?"
I had a whole bedroom to myself and mmmum and dadad seemed pretty happy to be in a tent in the back yard with the duck poo and fish innards, I don't know why, but also when I woke up at 5.30 they didn't hear me so aunty Jane got me out of bed instead.
So I'm pretty tired and looking forward to going home to see my John Deere tractor and Molly the catcat and having a bath that does not contain cousin ebony and her scary plastic mermaid of terror.

Mmmum and Dadad hauled me in the backpack up Mt Toonbrunup today. They seemed to think it was a bit hard but it wasn't really, except some of the most steep and rocky bits were a bit scary when I got tipped from side to side and upside down. We visited the swarm of Toolbrunup Peak Scorpo-Flies, which are a unique species, then dropped back down to a nice sheltered ledge to eat lots of cheese and crackers, yum. Then back down again. I slept through all the bumpy bits on the way down then woke up and pulled mmmums hair for the last hour. I like being on mmmum's back the best, although when dadad carries me i like to play with his hat. We took some precarious photos for grandma to enjoy too.
