Monkey on the way

Tomorrow, my uncle @galenkp finally arrives to Finland. It has taken a year to plan but it feels like it has taken half a life time to me. My auntie is coming too which is brilliant. I don't have a photo of them yet so I have stand-ins for this post. Titta (baby) is auntie, Monkey (an accurate representation from all accounts) is uncle and Viski (the dog not the drink) is Viski playing himself in a cameo role as "The Dog".

They are flying in on a plane and even though I have never been on one myself, I see some fly overhead from time to time and scream "a plane, a plane" like Tattoo from Fantasy Island. I think I am taller though. I saw one a few minutes ago when we were outside. They aren't big ones though, just little summer planes that sound like loud mosquitoes.

so, because it is such a long trip, I am not going to see them at the airport which is likely a good thing because, they will probably cry at the sight of me and that is no way to start things off, as it takes all the fun out of training them later.

I have a lot planned for when they arrive and they are going to be kept very busy. It is lucky there is two of them because then they can take it in turns to push me on the swings. I am also going to make them clean a little so that the slaves parents can have some time off.

They are only here a week though so we are a little limited on what we are able to do but I am pretty sure that they will want to come back again soon and spend more time here with us. It is lucky that it is summer though because I don't think their Australian blood will handle the minus 20 temperatures. Their blood is blue you know?

So, tomorrow will be the first time I meet them and I am unsure how to greet them since they are foreigners and I don't know their customs. It is a toss up between the local Moi, their G'day or... A wink and a "How you doin'?"

Perhaps, G'day and a wink?
