#325 Saturday 23 July

Kaylia will be a mess today! She didn't sleep after the her 12:30 'wee break' and she was on the iPads for the next 4 hours. We finally threatened the 'empty room' when she started loudly insisting on DVD time .... this did the trick and she still prefers bed to the prospect of the 'empty room' so she settled for a few hours sleep.

I was trying out the 'pagoda' with it's special cushion this morning .... very comfy .... and musing over this trip. Overall it has had the potential to be a bad time ... but it hasn't been! Thanks to Sally and the smooth way she has of stepping in and giving us a break, we have actually had a good holiday and we've been able to accomplish a lot. We feel as though our goal (of having the villa able to be rented out) is well on the way to being achieved.

Today we get our signs for the front .... the villa will have it's name. We are looking for a Buddha statue to sit above the entrance and smile on all who enter.



While at Mitre 10 yesterday I noted generators ..... one the size we need is about $600 ..... half to a third of the cost in Perth! I will discuss this with the 2 other villa owners .... the logical thing is to have one generator for the three villas. (Bali has regular electricity cuts to share the load ... insufficient capacity in the country.)

Night: A good day .... Chris (Sally's) arrived midday and after a suitable "Chris crash" it was time for tea at Gardenia .... and massages (x 3) back at the villa .... then crash for the night! Kaylia has been very good.



(Kaylia in "wah-wah" mode .... managing her anxiety.
