Dolphin Joke

At the weekend we broght back a souvenier from Pomorie, a town on the Black Sea Caost near Burgas. It was a little dolphin that had a magnet on the back keep it attached to the fridge door.

Kamila was very interested with the little creature but was worried that the dolphin would die without water.

We tried to explain that it wasn't a real dolphin but a little model of one and the real dolpins were far bigger, in fact so big it wouldn't fit on the fridge.

Kamila then said she was joking and that we fell for it hook, line and sinker. We all laughed and realised tha Kamila has a very good sense of humour.

Oasis?

Kamila does make us laugh so much. She told us last night that she found an oasis, but we didn't really believe her and found it strange that she should want to tell us fibs.

This morning insisted that there was an oasis in the house and she wanted us to go and see it with her. It was only when we got there that we realised she wasn't telling fibs at all. She had seen the toilet with the pool of water and thought it was an oasis!

Oh Kamila, "You are funny" we said as we explained what the oasis really was.

Kamila says that she will go there to remind her of Eygpt and the home she left behind long ago.

Good night

Kind Kamila was very helpful today. She played with Eli then, after dinner, helped with the washing up putting all the plates away. Afterwards she tidied her room and gave it a good clean. She has been a very busy camel today and we are all glad she is here with us helping on occasions.

It is now 8:00 and still ligth outside but Kamila started yawning a long time ago. This means she is tired although she wouldn't admit it. It was well before bedtime but it was quite easy to see Kamila was sleepy and wanted to go to bed.

10 minutes later Kamila gave in and askedif she could go to bed early as she couldn't keep her eyes open. Of course we said yes and tucked her in bed.

Exactly 10 seconds after we took her picture her eyes closed and she was fast asleep in her cosy bed. No doubt dreaming about Eygpt.

Tomorrow is another adventure for Kamila, who knows what she will do?

Bamboozaled

Over the weekend Kamila was finding out lots of things about life here in the home. Lots of television was watched and she was learning how to read and write but something really interested her when we brought a new plant into the house.

There on the shelf was a cutting of a bamboo plant sitting in sand and water. It was Kamila who told us how this bamboo grow and what it likes. Bamboo, is grown in Egypt the country where Kamila comes from. She really enjoyed being our teacher today as she checks to see whether the Bamboo is happy in its new home.

The other thing Kamila told us is that she used to eat the bamboo shoots but we said that she will have to wait until it needs pruning before she get her teeth into it. So Kamila is now in charge of pruning the bamboo, something she is very much looking looking forward to. And we all know why.

I said, "Why don't go go and open it and find out for yourself?"

So, Kamila made here way to the fridge, I had to help her up onto the top and she opened the box.

"Ah, bread, it's a bread box!" she exclaimed.

"Yes Kamila, it's a bread box, but we call it a bread bin" I explained.

Well, Kamila has learn another thing today. Every day is a new discovery for her.

Kamila Online

Kamila the Camel watches me every day online writing on my laptop. Kamila is a very helpful Camel and she asked if she could do some typing for me. Of course I said yes, but Kamila can't read or write so she really didn't know what to do. I have some work she did here, perhaps you might want to work out what she tried to type:
