Oh, oh... It is just soooo exciting! Pamela the Postie teddy has just delivered my mail( and... do you know what?? I am so excited that I must tell you this very exact millionth of a second! I just can't wait even another second! Oh, I am most profusely sorry because whilst I have been typing these words, I think that a couple of seconds has passed! And I am even more sorry because once a second has passed, I can't grab it back again to repeat ! That is not good! But then on the other hand, if it was an awful, painful, achey, yukky second that had just happened, you wouldn't want to jump up with your hands and try to catch it to make it happen again would you?! Also, I don't have very big teddy paws and they are quite furry and so that would make it a bit hard to try to grasp and keep hold of a second in my paws. I could have tried, but because the impossibility will never become a possibility, then it is out of my ability! Wow!! That statement sounds like a quote from a highly educated masters thesis! I do sound studious today, don't I ?! 
 But what I was originally going to say was that I am now allowed to send mail using the concessional teddy stamp rate! Is not that the best news ever?! Yes, they have issued special teddy stamps just for use by teddies! They have picture of teddies on them. And.... the cost of them is..... standby for the big announcement, get ready, get set, get go!! It costs a very expensive charge of nought cents! Free! ! That is completely right what you just heard ! Hmm... you didn't hear that, you actually read it with your eyes ! But you know what I mean! Teddies don't get charged for sending with these new concessional teddy stamps! Very exciting news ! It is the best idea since sliced bread ...with cheese and tomato on top, another slice of bread on top of that and then eaten in front of a heater! Well I had better get back to what I was talking about at the start of my talk with you!)
    Anyway, Pamela Postie delivered my mail, and it was a very nice postcard from my nice teddy friend Terrylina, the Travelling Teddy! She has been on a holiday to Queensland and was reminiscing about the time when she went to the Big Pineapple tourist attraction. In fact, she wrote her letter on a postcard with pictures of the Big Pineapple on the front of it! The tourist attraction is not open like it used to be. It has now become the location for the Queensland Zoo! Terrylina told me that these postcards with the pictures of the Big Pineapple on are now considered treasured memorabilia of the past, and will one day in 300 years from now could be worth millions of dollars... perhaps? I will certainly store it away in a safe place, perhaps at the back of the long life milk shelves? I have never been to the Big Pineapple. I feel a bit wary of it because pineapples are very prickly! It would be awful and I would be very sore if I ended up bumping into the side of it! What would happen if a bird forgot to wear its glasses and accidentally crashed into the side of the building? Ouch!! I think that the bird would not only see stars, but also Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury and perhaps Mars too! They wouldn't see Pluto , because apparently it has been scientifically declared that Pluto is now not a planet. But I still think it is a planet, don't you? My Disney friend Pluto would be so upset if he heard the news, because the "planet" was named after him, and he was sooooo excited about that! He barked, and woofed, and chased his tail happily when it was announced that the planet was going to be named Pluto. I would not want him to be sad now!
  I heard the other day, that in one of the towns in Victoria they are going to erect a big Brussels Sprout sculpture, and be known as " The place of Brussel Sprouts"! I am not too keen on that idea! Pineapples taste better than brussel sprouts!
  I have been thinking about what could be the "big" sculpture to designate the Kiosk? ! Perhaps there could be a "big snowdrop/snowball" put outside the Kiosk? But that would be okay in the Winter, but it could create a very messy lake of chocolate in Summertime when the hot weather comes! There could be a "big carton of long life milk" , but again, the milk would go sour if placed in the direct rays of the sunshine when the temperature reaches thirty degrees! Also there might be the feared "milk war" that could break out between the three different types of milk, as to which type would become the sculpture! The full cream versus the skim milk versus the semi-skim milk! And... in the midst of it would also be extra combatants in the form of the long life cream and the cartons of custard that also may want to be the focus of the sculpture! I don't like milk and dairy wars! I don't even want to think of having a " big egg" sculpture because egg shells can crack so quickly and the front of the Kiosk would continually be a mess of orange yolky mixture! Every time hail stones arrived, the egg shells would crack! But on the other hand, I don't suppose that there are many times that we have hail, but raindrops on the eggs would cause a similar problem too!
Perhaps a " big Cadbury chocolate block" could be located outside the Kiosk? But, chocolate is quite tasty and many people might want to come and have a bite of it! Also , similarly a "chocolate war" could arise between the different flavours and brands and sizes and boxes of chocolates, all wanting to be the one with the esteemed distinction of being the " big" type of sculpture outside the Kiosk!
  I think all this " big" thinking is making my teddy brain soooo tired! I think I need a BIG nap!
  Until next time, Give a BIG smile to everyone you see today! Your friend, Kiosk Ted Strath.
