Vegemite and U2



Our friends and fellow Aussies, Dave & Jackie, kindly donated Daniel their last tube of Vegemite. Yesterday's lunch was a speedy affair as he gobble down not one, but almost two sandwiches! He was a hungry little vegemite, and it is by far his favourite spread. I was running out of ideas (besides honey) as he isn't a huge fan of strawberry jam, and we've decided to remove cream cheese for his diet for a while.

He loves animals, and his favourites at the moment are dogs and ducks. He tries to say duck :)
I reckon he knows about a dozen animal noises currently.

This Wednesday Nathan is going to the U2 concert. Vancouver is the last show on the tour, and the only one in NorthWest America, so should be huge. He and some friends from Regent will be lining up from around 9am (6.30pm start) with their vocab cards and books to read, and someone has offered to come around later in the day and pick up their 'stuff' before the gates open. They are in the general standing area, and hoping to get fairly close to the stage.

Nathan is also starting some TA work for intro Greek next week for 4 or 5 weeks, trying to squish that into his schedule! It is an honour to be asked, and we'll appreciate the extra income.
