Hi,

Sorry it's been a while since my last blog but I have been busy over the last few weeks entertaining lots of family members who have come to see me lately.

As I informed you all in my last blog, my mormor and morfar (mummy's mum & dad) came to see me. We had such fun together although I think mummy was a bit concerned that morfar might lead me astray but I was very good and resisted all his charms.

Mormor and I had such wonderful chats while sitting on her knee. I also enjoyed the wonderful stories that she used to tell me. I think my Swedish has come on wonderfully well over the last few weeks.

We didn't do a lot while mormor and morfar where here as I think they just enjoyed hanging out with me. However, one weekend mummy, daddy and I along with mormor and morfar went down to Hue. I found things a bit hot so I didn't get to see too much this trip. However mummy and daddy said that we would come back to Hue so maybe I'll see more next time.

As a special request, we went to the water puppets here in Hanoi. Auntie Sue, Uncle Barny and cousin Jasper were also there but I'll tell you more about them in my next blog. I thought the puppets were excellent and very exciting although I wasn't so fond of the music - even when mummy tried to block it out by putting her hands over my ears. Oh well, I guess you can't win them all...

Before we all knew it, mormor and morfar's time in Hanoi came to an end and it was time for them to go home. It was very sad but I know that I will seem them soon in July so there's not too long to wait.

Until then...

Oliver
