Olive and I spent a wonderful Saturday morning at the bird park. Concerned that one of the pelicans was sitting alone on land instead of joining its friends in the lake, Olive announced: "Pelican cannot swim, pelican no swimming costume." At the penguin pool, Olive was more interested in looking for sharks and, unimpressed by ostriches and emus, Olive asked if we could go and find some chickens.

Olive's getting really cheeky. While playing jigsaw puzzles on her bedroom floor earlier today, Olive got up and fetched a cushion for herself from the living room. When I asked her if she could fetch one for Daddy she replied: "This Wivvy's cushion, Daddy get self." [Sandy: "Well done Olive, Daddy already has one maid in the family."]
