Weigh in

I know we're approaching the Melbourne Cup, but what am I - a jockey ?! Got any miniature Shetland ponies out there in peak racing form?

This is a pic of me only 4 minutes after I was born. When they let me out of the Sofitel, I was exactly 3kg (yep lighter, but under 10% lighter so that's cool.)

That Pony is in trouble, cos yesterday I got my 2 week weigh in, and I'm up to 3390 grams.

Stylin'

Here I am with House Elf J gettin' ready to ollie at the Skate Park. I'll probabaly break my arm here in a few years time....

My Uncle Paul took the photo - he's clever 'cos there's no evidence he was involved in such a dangerous stunt.... but he was there!

Hawker Haberdashery

I'm making my own Hawthorn Football Club jumper that truly reflects that style and verve of the club.... whaddya reckon so far?

My First Nickname

I am outraged to report that due to my apparent predilection for soiling nappies (really, what else are they for?) my House Elves have awarded me with my first nickname (See image below).

It seems I share the name with someone of Scandanavian (?) origin on page one (and page 2 ) of the Melbourne 05/06 Telstra Residential White pages....do you reckon the layout person got sacked for that one ;-)

Bad Influence

And here's where I went on my first walk - to meet the 'Bourough Bogan Bimmer Biker (just so you know that "Uncle Sharkey" is already a Bad Influence (TM)

Wheels 2

Here's me in my Jalopy on my first outside walk - the House Elves forgot my sunnies - Yellow card....
Note my purrfect little blanket made for me by Granny Marion & Aunty Kate.

Me n' Aunty Anne

Here I am with my lovely Aunty Anne. She's been such a great support to House Elf L.

And she's reorganising parts of my garden with House Elf L to make sure I have flowers to enjoy.

DJ Benji in da House

Groovin'!

Yeah Baby!

That Jethro Tull is just fab!

This is me at my hearing test. Apparently I can hear very well, but my House Elves are stone deaf I reckon, 'cos they seem to take a helluva long time to answer my "infrequent" Summons....

Supertest Snooze

Here I am having a snooze while Justin Lange also lies down on the job in the first and last (?) Supertest. Bowled next ball for a duck.... I like ducks..... But not in Cricket on the Aussie side.

By the way, how bout that 42" Plasma!! It was in my "maternity ward" room at the Sofitel Hotel - the House Elves got to go there on day 4 as part of the Frances Perry Parenting Program rather than stay in the Hospital. They picked us up in a 7 Series BMW and House Elf J spent the next few days watching the Moto GP , Super Bikes and Cricket on a screen 2.071 times longer than me!

House ELf L was the first Emergency Caesar in the history of the program to be allowed to go - Good on ya Mum!

For the record

Here I am at training in my second ever bath for the 1 metre backstroke in the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.

I expect a silver medal at least 'cos I've got a secret power boost - did you know I can blow bubbles at both ends?

Hello World!!!

Benjamin Edward Matjacic Milkins born 10/10/05. 3264 gm. 51.5cm.

Benjamin 'cos Mum and Dad like the name.

Edward for my Grandpa Eric's middle name, my Dad's birth name, my Dad's friend Ted, and my Uncle Eddie.

You can work out the other two - do I really have to explain the birds and the bees to you?

the Xth of October

What a spinout. I said I'd arrive on the "X"th of October, and here I come!!

I've ordered the limo and the House Elves have been up all night while I play tricks on them.

We'll go in pretty soon I reckon.

Eviction Special

So , about an hour ago House Elf L says to House Elf J...."there was movement at the Station, for the word had got around...."!

With a clear-mindedness and steady hand that "the Man" himself would have been proud of, House Elf J went to look for his Leatherman and run the bath. And the espresso machine.

"Typical." he muttered to himself, " He would come on the day of the Bathurst 1000..."

Reports from pit lane will continue....

Nestink

So while House elf L is waiting for me to make my Grand Entrance this is what she's been up to. (In between seeing the same movie at the cinema twice in less thean 18 hours.... mind you that John Cussack - bit of a hottie you know)





Apparently she's taking one of the two implements in the background to the maternity ward to use in "remonstrations" with House Elf J..

Late

Well - apparently my House Elves inform me I'm taking after them - I'm LATE!

But only by 3 days and what's that I ask you? Nuffin. Did they seriously expect me, given my parentage, to be on time.

Hmmn?

No jury in the land will convict me that's for sure!
