The flight to Miri in Borneo was uneventful. We were met by Lesley and the kids at the airport and within minutes Fin had bonded with Matt and was holding hands as we walked across the airport car park. Billy was on a 'boys weekend' trip to Phuket and would be arriving back late on Sunday evening.
Lesley and Billy were off to Singapore so Matt and I had the job of looking after the boys. Emily would be travelling with them. They would be away for the whole week. Leaving on Monday and arriving back on the Friday lunchtime.
We had a great time with the boys, of course it was a school week so the majority of the day they were entertained by school and we were free ti explore Miri having the odd body massage and head massage. I had arranged to cook dinner for Geja, Charlotte and Nic, three of the teachers at the international school. Nic had kindly taken me to the meat market in Chinatown at 6.00am on the Sunday morning where I had bought half a pork belly for the feast. We had planned the dinner party for the Wednesday evening, this was after a particularly busy day post school with swimming and ballet for Finlay. On Tuesday he had a particularly nasty cough and by Wednesday it had got worse. We were also looking after Lachlan, one of Fins friends.
After music Matt decided that the cough was so bad that a visit to the local GP was advisable. We came away with a fair goody bag of medication and a diagnosis of inflamed tonsils.
Despite the medical emergency the pig dinner was very nice, even if I say so myself.
The rest of the week was pretty uneventful. Lesley, Billy and Emily returned from Singapore on Friday and we got a well earned rest.
On the Sunday we did a trip to Brunei, another four stamps in Matts passport!!
