Skippy

Skippy is a souvenir (you know, one of those that clip on and you can a pack of 12 for $5) and we had bought a pack when we did our African safari in 2007 to give to the village kids etc.  We had him perched on the front of the hire vehicle (Landcruiser troopie) whilst in Africa for 6 weeks and he survived all weathers and rough roads.  We thought he might have got pinched but he made it back albeit weather beaten minus his hat and flag.  Interestingly, the locals were worried and puzzled by him as they don’t know what a kangaroo was and many thought it was some kind of voodoo doll which probably stopped him from getting pinched! Once we got home we dumped him in a drawer and he was forgotten about until we were packing to leave on this trip and decided to take him with us,  So far he has been on front of the car for 23 weeks!  John has sown him up but he is still in one piece.   We wonder how long he will last before he deteriorates entirely.
