Just cause I need some sillyness
Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
If I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

My fab Xmas present - OK it's a little early
But once we had been on it for a while, I loved it and have learned to say "stop please" when the swinging gets too much.
My "geen swing" rocks and I will be exploring the other bits of it in time.Sunday, November 12, 2006
Our adventure to Port Douglas
We stayed at the Radisson treetops and I went ballistic when I saw our room. I was straight up on the big bed for a bouncing test, checked out my little bed, discovered the "little fridge" which was quickly turned from a mini bar, into my own personal snack bar, I could reach all the light switches, got in and out of the bath several times, checked out the toilet, made the alarm clock do "magic music" and commandeered the remote for the telly. Daddy even made "green magic" when he put a special card in the door - I was in heaven and ran from one activity to the next with squealy noises.
Here I am making sure my carrots are safe before we went for a swim.
There was even a lift for me to play with and I pushed all the right buttons when mummy and daddy told me. On Saturday we all went to "On the Inlet" restaurant for an early dinner, I sat up in my own special chair and the pretty girls gave me crayons and paper to do drawings. Here I am, walking daddy to the car.
I slept well in my special little bed but woke up at about 5am (much to daddy's delight) I was full of beans and very excited to find myself still in the hotel with all the new things to play with, I made a bee line to the "little fridge" to grab an apple, and made sure I turned all the lights on and the telly. I then launched myself onto the bed next to daddy for a cuddle 'cause he was "schweeping"
Enough of that now daddy! It's play time!
At 7 we all went down and had a fantastic breakfast, I ate sooooo much fruit, all with a grown up spoon and I did very well too! We packed up our room and went down to check out, and they had a big white "quack quack" (all birds are quack quacks can't you know?) I just loved him and wanted to get very close to him. He made a big noise and I didn't even cry even though I got a huge fright.
The hotel is all open and the rooms are set around a big garden. There are beautiful ponds and little waterways all along the paths which end up at the main pool. The waterlillies were flowering and were gorgeous.
this is the big pool at the end where we swam, it curves around and at the end, there is a big rock waterfall. On the left hand side where the people are, is where we had our breakfast. It's such a beautiful, relaxing place to stay and I can't wait until we come back again. 
In other news, mummy made me some ice blocks and she is flat out trying to keep up with demand - I loooovvvee them!! We are catching up with Scott tonight who arrived back from the UK on Friday! Our BBQ on Saturday morning was fantastic, I got into the lagoon pool, lucky mummy had a dress on and was able to follow me in. My nappy ended up weighing about 15kg though so we'll be doing swim nappys from now on. It is getting really really hot now so from next week we'll all be in the lagoon pool and just get out to eat :) I saw another helicopter and just about jumped out of my skin when I heard it coming. I hope you all got lucky for the Melbourne Cup, mummy was very busy and had no time to think about horses, but met daddy at the base in the afternoon where they had a bit of a "do". I think that's about all for now, I hope you are all happy and well, Love and hugs and "green magic" from Kylin. xoxoxo
