A Century of Stories

Blog One Hundred

Oliver's blog has turned 100! Since I first started sharing my adventures waaaaaay back in early 2014, before I was even one year old, I've shared 100 stories of my life in blogs. Well, saying goodbye to Grandad was the actual 100th blog, so this one is actually blog #101. That's over a century of stories!

There's been a lot to talk about in that time: from daycare to primary school and intermediate; from old house to new house; through birthdays and Christmases; across Australia, Fiji and New Zealand. So many memories...



You can revisit when I first tried eating solid food during a family holiday to Mount Maunganui (spoiler alert: I did not enjoy it).

Or when William first came into the world and I gave him his very first cuddly toy: a husky.

Or how about the time Bailey and I were just hanging out in the back garden at home, neither of us wearing any clothes. Must have been a hot summer that year.



Maybe it's time to remember that family Ollie-day we took to Australia with Grandma and Grandad. Find out which animal I saw pooping while we were there!

From going overseas to going nowhere - the dreaded coronavirus struck the world and we were trapped inside for months, but you can see how William and I kept busy in this lockdown lowdown.



Or what about when we moved from our old house into our new one. Watch as we walk through the house for the very first time as owners. Don't sit down though - there's not a single piece of furniture in the whole place.

And to take us right up to the present, you can see me in my future career as Dr Ollie the vet.



Oh all right, and here's the video of me falling on my face while ice skating. Happy now?

Looking back at all these old adventures is like stepping into a time machine. Just without the silly special effects. And that's just from my first 11 years. There are lots more stories yet to come...
