Mitchy loved waking up in the morning and dragging my fat ass to the gym to make me sweat like a fat kid chasing cake.

After gym, Mitchy would play his favourite game – is the egg over boiled. In this game Mitchy would grab a boiled egg and cut his toast into soldiers and then open his egg to find his egg hard boiled over and no amount of pressure would have his soldiers crack the yoke.

On the bridge of lanterns Mitchy placed a candle boat into the water for good luck.

At the tailor he had two loverly winter jackets made with very sexy purple lining. He also had two pairs of formal shorts made which made him look very dashing. At the leather merchant he had two very nice pairs of shoes tailored to his desire a large leather duffle bag – I had no idea he was such a closet fashionista. He was strutting his stuff all over the tailor shop.

On one day we went past an antique model boat shop and in dived me and Mitchy. He ended up going back and buying himself a mantle piece sized model of the endeavour for his non-existent mantel piece. Very Australian!!!

As ever Mitchy was alert to the construction issues facing Vietnam and it’s people. You can see him doing a bit of free lance inspecting of the electrical installation at the beach – power points wired up the tree and encased in Tupperware very proper and definitely to code!
