Here I am in Perth visiting my girlfriend Popsicle for the festive season. The funny thing is she looks the same and even wears the same frock! I was real happy 'cause she let me borrow it. However, it was so hot we decided to stay just in our bear skins for the rest of the time.

The BIG PEOPLE have a lovely time when they are there 'cause their friends Unkee Rod and Auntie Hilary have a boat and we spent the day sailing along the river looking at all the mansions. Popsicle wrapped her arms around me all day and I tried to push her over the side 'cause she got a bit annoying, but she is a bit fat (like you know who...) and wouldn't budge.
When the BIG PEOPLE were busy looking at the dolphins swimming past we had a few gulps of wine. Pospicle is a good drinking companion 'cause she stops the long stem glasses from tipping over, but unfortunately she didn't tip over herself 'cause then I would have had more of a chance to push her in the Swan River!
After New Year, we travelled down to Eagle Bay to spend a few days relaxing and Popsicle introduced me to the rest of her pals. They are a motley lot, especially the one in the weird nappy and the other one who dressed up as Father Christmas, but I had a lot of fun meeting them. Popsicle kept trying to get me to take her home to Sydney, but I told her she had to lose some weight to fit in the cupboard with me and the rest of the family. I kept feeding her biscuits to make sure she wouldn't make it...
I ended up having the bestest holiday 'cause I won the sandcastle competition on the beach at Eagle Bay. I made this sand image and told the judges it was of my MUM. Guess what? I won first prize although the judges tried to take the prize away from me when they met my MUM. However, she stuck up for me and said they couldn't be cruel to a six-year old. She gave me an extra cuddle when we got home and I heard her asking DAD if he had noticed if I had impaired vision. As you can see in this next picture, Eagle Bay is a very beautiful part of the west coast. Except there are heaps of sharks about. I wonder if they would like to feast on a fat teddy bear? Now there's a thought.
Oh happy day! It is the festive season again and cuz Timmie flew from London to visit me in Perth. The suitcase he was travelling in got lost in Dubai for three whole days and he was pretty traumatised when he arrived. He was speaking a very strange language and looked a bit desperate as you can see in this picture. I had to calm him down with some of Dad's pain-killers mixed with a few brewskies to try and get him back to 'normal' - whatever that means...
We ended up hanging on the beach with the BIG PEOPLE and Timmie nearly got left behind as he was the same colour as the sand! I just used to lie there and thank my lucky stars that I was not locked away in the cupboard with MUM's trousers and Timmie was happy to be in a warm climate, as he said it was pretty cold on the windowsill back in Loxley Road.
Sometimes we would sit on the sand and cool our bottoms and watch MUM looking at the water. I was tempted to run up behind her and push her in but it was too hot to move.
Unfortunately all good things come to an end and here's a picture of me having to tell Timmie to hop back into the suitcase for the flight home. We had a smashing time together but there was someone missing - Popsicle - my girlfriend from Perth. I think she must have gone off to finishing school or ended up in a second hand shop because she was nowhere to be seen. I didn't really mind as she only had one frock to borrow and I would have grown out of it by now and it would have smelt anyway. I guess she is now my 'ex'.
I didn't have the heart (well, I don't have one really as I am stuffed full of cotton-wool) to let Timmie know that we were staying on longer and our next adventure was to visit the island of Rottnest just half an hour away from Perth. It was absolutely beautiful there and I hung out with seagulls all day on the beach.
When we went to the Rotto pub this strange creature came up to me and started to nibble crumbs under the table. MUM had missed a few morsels when she was stuffing her face - as usual! It turns out he was a quokka, a marsupial - whatever that means. He was lots of fun and we spent hours slurping the BIG PEOPLE'S vino. By the end of the afternoon I was doing karaoke numbers under the table and the quokka had passed out. Unfortunately a ranger came along and I am now barred from the island as he said I ignored the sign that asked people not to feed the quokkas. I tried to tell him that I was a wild animal as well, but he wouldn't listen. Oh well, next time I go I'll hide at the bottom of MUM's bag and the quokka said he would round up his mates so we can get the party started!
