Saying bye to Si

 After our rescue of the Alph, we had a farewell party for Simon. Harvey and Phil and Kerryn came for lunch.

Laddie was so happy to have Harvey to play with. "You just crack me up Harvey" he is saying.

Harvey really likes the water, and although we both like water too, we do NOT do swimming pool water!

Look at them all in there - cheers Simon!

Resuming play ... 

Then it was tea time and Clare made Simon a beautiful cake.

Simon, Olivia, Clare and Hugh.

Hugh - reading something in his hand - with Olivia and Margie.

Even Mike came to say farewell to Si,

bringing some interesting beers.

More swimming

Now he is just showing off.

The Pest watching safely from behind the fence.

Harvey making another friend - Arti.

Tea and scones and cake with Omie Domes, Petrus, Pippa, Kerryn, Phil - and me - or rather, my tail. There are always good pickings at these events!

Sophie and Gabriel playing Lego.

Harvey warming up with his mom.

The Pest out for the count.

Me waiting for crumbs to fall ...

They all went to admire Olivia's new car.

One cool gel in one cool car!

Robert and Jane called in on their way back from Daisy - what is it with writing on hands today!

Then the last photograph of the night - with the Alph, Phil. Sonya, Simon and Kerryn.

The next morning Simon said goodbye to me,

and the Pest,

and the next thing we hear, he has flown to South Korea where he seems to be having a blast!
