Back to the Barren

Sorry peeps. It has been a wee while since I posted I know...

A lot has been happening, and not happening that SHOULD Be happening. But that would take me all night to tell you about. So I'll just go for the highlights.

I got a puppy. His name is Colo Colo. Son of Colin (Short for Collingwood) and Bella. One of a litter of six. 3 Fluffy and 3 short haired. All black and white. There is some border collie in there somewhere I'm sure of it. Anyway, Colo is one of the fluffy ones. He is very cute. We called him Colo because there is a soccer club in Chile called Colo Colo. And we thought it would make a nice link with Collingwood. Of course the club is named after a Mapuche Chief who fought the Spanish.

And later Mauro found out that it means "Mountain Cat". Oh well.
I have been taking him for a walk most evenings. And taught him a few tricks already. We have had him four weeks now.

My friend Nicole came down for a short stay. She seemed to like it. And I kept Colo as a bit of a surprise, because she loves puppies. She adored him.

We took a long trip down the other end of the island to visit some friends, and the puppy came with us. He was sick in the car, poor baby.

Its spring here now, and the Island is coming to life. We are seeing a lot more wild life than we did before. Lots of blue tongue lizards, and birds nesting and other strange lizards and critters. Soon it will be warm enough to swim too.

Tonight we went and saw the play the kids at the school put on, it was hilarious....a rip off of Pirates of the Carribean...called Pirates of Cape Barreon...hehehe.

Im still laughing.
