Hello everyone! I hope that you are keeping warm in this very, very cold weather! It is sooooo chilly! My teddy  friend, Mr. Oliver , has had his grey fur turning white in the early mornings! It must be cold if that occurs! 

       The other day, I had a special phone call on my tedobile phone! The callers were Carla, Colin, Cathy and Chrissie , the campfire teddies, inviting me to their campfire party that night! They said it would be warming to sit around the  campfire! It sounded a fun idea! And...it was so much fun! Cathy is such a very skilful and talented musician! She even went to world renowned Musical Teddy Conservatorium ( also known as MTC ) to study her music! She had to spend days and nights, then nights and days, then night -days studying to get her musical degree in her musical instrument! It is such a delight listening to her playing the music! Oh, I suppose you would like to know what musical  instrument that she plays?! She plays the eucalyptus gum leaf! She plays sooo well! It is very melodious! She played lots of tunes for us as we sat around the fire!

     We toasted marshmallows! But..they got soooo sticky! We had very sticky paws and didn't know what to do! Chrissie turned on a tap to wash her hands, but then the marshmallow went onto the taps, and after washing her hands the marshmallow stuck again on her hand when she turned off the tap! 

   Little Flora  the First -grader teddy got a surprise when she lost her first tooth when eating her damper! She was a little tiny bit upset! It is not everyday that you lose a tooth! (You wouldn't want that to happen! )  Greta the Grandmotherly teddy gently comforted her and promised that if she left out her tooth, a teddy fairy would come and collect it and reuse it to make nests for orphaned baby birds. Flora then was back to being a happy little teddy! ( She still doesn't like Vegemite, so she isn't a happy Vegemite teddy!) 

   We had a very fun night! I just thought and thought in my teddy brain what should I take with me to the campfire party? Roses boxes of chocolates are nice. Or perhaps some blocks of chocolate? But i couldn't work out what flavour! I ended up taking potato crisps instead! 

  Well, I had better go now. I need to put my electric blanket on! 

     Until next time,

         Your teddy friend ,
