Socks supply

Dear Diary,

Adam:  Don't believe it if you're told that the AG 18" doll socks fit me - because they don't!  They are far too big and look terrible on me.  


Up until now, that's all I had so I refused to wear any socks at all.  Then, Angelo reminded Jesse about his wonderful socks and this gave Jesse the answer - Ruth to the rescue!  Ruth in England made 90% of Angelo's clothes and she made him some wonderful socks.  Sadly, they are too small for me but she agreed to make some just to fit my foot.  Today, they arrived in the post and they are wonderful.  

"Look at the wonderful array of colours!"

I received 9 pairs of machine-knitted socks in a wide variety of colours.  They fit me well,  allowing me to wear shoes.  I like getting new clothes!

Bright red socks
Little by little, I'm putting together and decent wardrobe.  I like having nice things to wear.  When you're as handsome as I am, it doesn't make sense to wear ill-fitting and poorly styled clothes.  

Shoes and socks, shoes and socks, shoes and socks - I want more and more and more!

Dolls & lizards?

Dear Diary, I found this young man, Raymond, a doll collector in Hawai'i.  He has a big collection of modern dolls to show us. I think he is a good role model for other young lads who are interested in dolls. He certainly is proud of his collection. I never knew about all these different modern dolls! I must be [getting] old! Hans

His lordship, lord todd wadley

Dear Diary, Jesse :   About 25 years ago, in the age of paper books, I read a story about a famous woman and her boy doll.  I was totally taken with the story and I never forgot it.  In fact, it was to have a huge influence on my doll play and collecting. A couple of years ago, I was thinking about the story and I wanted to find it again.  As advancing age and retreating memory does, I couldn't remember any names and I had many of the details mixed up and incorrect.  I remembered the basic story, however, so armed with sparse information, I began the current age Google Search.  It was a hard slog, going down many dead-ends because of my incorrect remembrance of facts and the scarcity of factual information.  I refused to give up and I kept trying all kinds of combinations of information until, at last I found what I was looking for.  Eureka!  This is an abbreviate story about Joe Corsairs and Lord Tod Wadley.  (The information is taken from various internet sites.)

Leaving New Zealand behind

Dear Diary, Our home has sold and we will leave New Zealand for our new home country next week. I have loved living here and I’m going to miss my home and friends. Not everyone gets to live in little village in the country in an old church and hall. The church was built in 1906 and closed in 2012 when we bought it. The hall was built in 1953. We built the addition which joins the church and hall. Our property boarders on three streets and goes to the upper left corner. The paddock enclosed by the high hedge is part of it. The goats can be see in the back paddock. Now, it’s off to our new adventure! The question is: where are we going? Hans
