Update from Gnorman in Parliament!

Hi Joy,
Just a quick update about Gnorman ... he is having a wonderful time in Parliament and is going to stay another week. He didn't think you would mind too much. He is staying on the 13th floor of Bowen House and has an amazing view of the waterfront.
From his window, he can see the Beehive and the Cake Tin. He can watch the inter island ferries crossing the strait and see the planes come and go from the airport.

There is always something exciting happening at Parliament. Gnorman just loves it when the bells start ringing 10 minutes before the Housesits. At first, he thought they were ringing especially for him and was a little bit disappointed when I told him it was to tell the MPs to stop what they are doing and make their way to the debating chamber.

Jill is going to introduce him to as many Government MPs and their staff as possible but its not something that can happen in just one day which is why he has extended his stay.

He really wants to meet the Prime Minister and that should happen next Tuesday.

I'll keep you up-to-date with his antics ....
