Washing Surprise

Today I went to work with Daddy. On the way to work Daddy took some pictures of cows to show Mummy cows are everywhere here!!

When I got to work I thought that it was time to expand SBI Detects into India. So I sat down and thought about the jobs I could do here.

1. Look for homes for the cows

2. Washing and looking after cows

3. Providing cows food

4. Finding out whose cow is whose

5. Entertaining cows

As you can see most of the activities will be cow related but we have Mr Mooney in SBI Detects who is also a cow and so we have a big advantage. I need to find out if these cows have jobs and so have €$ to spend.

This evening Daddy and I cam e up with the idea to surprise the Laundry man by me jumping out of the laundry bag. Daddy took a picture of me practising!! Daddy promised me that I wont accidently get washed.

Turban-ator

Today I wanted Daddy to take me turban shopping instead of going to work. I have seen lots of turbans in India and I think I would look very nice in one. Daddy said we had to go to work today but maybe we would look for one at the weekend. I am looking forward to my shopping trip.

Daddy was very busy in meetings this morning so it was my job to check Daddy's emails. If an email came in I replied with "Daddy is not here at the moment, please try to email someone else as the Bobbins is busy". This took a long time so I decided to just delete them instead - like Donkey had taught us in school. Daddy was pleased that there were no emails in his email when he came back. After lunch I decided to snooze until we went home.

This evening I am going with Daddy to the Palace across the road so I put a flower in my tie. I am looking forward to dinner and I hope that I meet the queen who lives there. I have bought an apple with me to give her as Donkey says everyone likes apples.

All work and no curry makes Bobbins a happy boy

Hi, I am still in India, Daddy says we have to stay here for a while - I don't really understand why as its easier for Daddy to get to work from home. But as I am asleep for every journey to work except to look at the cows its ok.

Today my jet lag had cleared up a bit so I was back to my best as PA sponge. This meant that I was running around the office asking everyone if they liked curry. Daddy told me to stop it but I was just trying to get on with the locals as Donkey taught me it is important to do this wherever you go.

We went out at lunchtime and it was very hot. Daddy left me to do some sun bathing in the afternoon as I didnt want to do any work in the afternoon. I sent the driver Daddy has to go and find me some ice cream and to make sure it wasnt curry flavoured.

The picture of me is sitting on Daddy'd bed holding the card that the man who makes Daddy's bed leaves on it. I have told Daddy we should bring him home to make the Bobbin's bed every day. The card says "Oh, its nice to get up in the morning, but its nicer to lie in bed. Sir Harry Lauder" I think it is very nice for the man to leave us a message and I am impressed the man who makes Daddy's bed is a Sir. The message is a good one - if you leave out the bit about getting up - unless its to go to a gift winkel. I have left a message of my own "It is nice to get a present, and stay in bed. Robert Basil Dunne".

Cow-a-bunga!!

My second day in h-India and my first day as an h-Indian PA Bobbins. The Bobbins was up early with Daddy after we had only had 4 hours sleep, so I was very tired and snoozed in Daddy's bag whilst he had breakfast and got in the car. I woke up to look out of the window to do some cow spotting. I guess that the Indians like their milk really fresh or the cows have all taken jobs as milkmen.

Once we arrived at the office it was time for work. Unfortunately this was the exact moment that my jet lag really started, so I went back to the bag to have a snooze.

I managed to wake up for lunch and so Daddy took me across to the restaurant. I spotted a Subway, but it wasnt open and Daddy said he wouldnt eat there if they paid him. Crumbles - there must be somethng really wrong with the sandwiches there because Daddy really loves Subway. Maybe the cows had made them.

After lunch my jet lag was bad again so i had another snooze till it was home time. This jet lag makes being a PA Bobbins very difficult. I have my fingers crossed that my jet lag will still be here tomorrow - I meant be gone by tomorrow. Whoops!!

After my hard day at work, whilst Daddy was having dinner I decided to empty the mini bar and hide in there to surprise Daddy - but it got a little cold so I went to bed instead. Daddy said that he would have to pay for all the drinks now. Its a shame Mummy isnt here to make her usual hotel drink where she empties everything into one glass and downs it.

Brick Lane??

Yesterday the Bobbins flew to India. I am getting quite tired of flying all over the place and I will be very pleased when Mummy and Daddy finally decide to stay put in one place. Not to mention all the school that I have missed - soon I wont be able to count to 8. And that is a very important number for counting presents at Christmas.

As you can see from the picture I am slumming it in India. This is the small lounge that I am using to hold some important business meetings for Daddy. I have the servants come in and change the channel when I am bored.

This india is a very strange place. It seems that not everyone likes to live in a nice house and they keep their cows in the street. Daddy says that the cows here are sacred but I think he means scared - so would I be if I was a cow standing in the middle of the road. Westie Moo would never do that. Tomorrow I am going to the office to PA for Daddy. I will see if I can get a cow to come into the office - I know Daddy would enjoy that.

Home on the Range

I am back from my holidays. I had a really great time and over the next few blog entries I will be retelling some of the adventures that the family had in Hong Kong and New Zealand from the Bobbins point of view through the medium of photos.

For the last two days the Bobbins has mainly been sleeping, which has not been very good for me catching up in class. After two days on an airplane coming home the I am finding everywhere so comfortable to sit that I keep falling asleep. Donky has let me off so far but he said that jet lag is not a permanent excuse......I think he is wrong!!!!

I took this picture with the boys last night to remind me of being on holiday. Pigeon reminds me of pigeon bay where we visited, Pepsi of the Pig and Whistle pub in Rotorua, Pete of the whales we saw in Kaikoura and Westie Moo of all the irish pubs I saw from between the bar stools. Then it made me miss my Mummy....we forgot to pack her to bring her home from New Zealand. I am very annoyed at Daddy.

Kong Hong Dollars

Yesterday was a great day for the Bobbins. Firstly, Daddy got me some Kong Hong Dollars and some New Zealand Dollars for my holiday. I like KH$ as you get lots for your 50ps and means you look even richer than in England. The colours are very bright too so it will not feel like I am spending real money - it will be Daddy's money anyway - my money is remaining hidden at home in a fire proof box. In case any burgulars are reading this - Stop reading my blog and stay away from bucket.

Last night Daddy rushed home to watch the Europe Cup game with me. Mr Rooney was brilliant and he scored two goals. After the second goal he slid on his knees. I am going to do that in school tomorrow when I get a question right - maybe not tomorrow then but one day when an easy question comes along.

After the football I had to look after Daddy as he wasn't feeling very well - he said he had the flu but we both know he is just excited that Mummy is coming home tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing Mummy and all the big expensive presents she has bought me in New Yoik.
