3rd April
Not
sure where 2XS is – the Gold Coast, I reckon.
I will update as soon as I hear.
When Katy and Jeff taught at an
international school in Santiago (Chile) they met many wealthy families. Some
of them had wonderful schemes for their children.
“Oh yes, when our children turn eight,
we take them to Buenos Ayres. And when
they are ten, they get a trip to New York.”
Good-o…Why didn’t we all think of
that??
Katy and Jeff have instituted a slightly
modified version of this system. When
their children turn five, they get two nights in Melbourne with Katy. And when they turn thirteen…well the jury is
out but maybe they will go on a skiing holiday with Jeff. Perfect!
At this very moment Katy is in Melbourne
with Eva, at the theatre, watching Chitty
Chitty Bang Bang. We got a message
at interval – it is, apparently, fantastic. And we have just seen a photo of Eva, blissed out, in her theatre seat with a big chocolate-y Magnum
This morning they went shopping for new winter boots for Eva. She was very polite to the shop assistant, who
didn’t listen at all when Eva said, “this one fits really well but the other
one is a bit tight. A bit uncomfortable…” They left the shop with Eva silent and brave,
limping… Eventually she said, a bit tearfully, “Mummy, I think I saw something
white inside my boot. It REALLY isn’t
very comfortable.” So they investigated
and Katy found, stuffed into the offending boot, a large wad of tissue – poor Eva
must have had a very squashy foot indeed…
