I've just finished explaining something to Kaylia..... and it occurred to me that her understanding of what I was saying was really good. .... and these days her speech is improving.  Her weekly speech therapy sessions concentrate on sounds..... and I make a point to praise Kaylia when she speaks clearly. The frequency of the occasion is pleasing.

Wow... there's a name for it!

This is such a common issue... especially as we get older. 

I've been trying a few changes to the engine coolant system on the Landrover..... I've added and extra coolant tank and plumbed it in.  I drove up to Butler today and the engine running temperature behaved much better. It sits around 75-80°.  (details for those readers that are so inclined)

Life goes on..... the gap between the blog posts is an indicator of the days cruising by.

Isn't this really special? 

Our trip to Albany in October is arranged for 16th to 19th.  Kaylia is looking forward to lots of op shops! 

#2409 Friday 1st August

We're in Busselton.... and it occurred to us that we don't have to hold our breath as we wait for the next staff person to resign... or the next disaster to strike....  it can be a proper holiday.

Kaylia is in her 'big room'..... she's happy.

Kaylia is very excited about the trip to Busselton tomorrow... she looks forward to all the parts of the trip.  We stick to the same places to stop at.

Today I used up most of the free timber that I've been able to scrounge from the back door at Bunnings.... I really appreciate the way that they throw out anything that is not up to standard.  This is what I've made today.

Brrrr! It's still cccooollld!

We're going to Busselton for 2 days.... down Friday and back Sunday.  It's largely to satisfy Kaylia's need for routine.  We will stay at the Sebel where she can have the 'big room'! 

#2406 Monday 28th July

The month is almost over..... and it's very cold! 

Kaylia has begun a new medication that research says that it may help reduce her weight. Fingers crossed. 

I finished the drill stand on the weekend. 

It is adjustable for different materials. 

I'm off to Butler today.... Pete is in hospital and I'll visit him. I go up there each Monday.
