#639 Friday 13 July

Black Friday! Kaylia didn't think so! She's had a good day. In the morning it was Bunnings playground .... then shops ... then Woodbridge Park. This park has an excellent cycle path along the river and this was good for Kaylia practicing the scooter. She's keen but her balance isn't there yet. After lunch she had therapy! Great. Then more scooter ... and a car ride to Mundaring to finish the day. Now we're watching ABC4Kids and eating popcorn ... then it will be bedtime routine.
For a longtime Kaylia had ignored normal TV in favour of DVDs ..... lately, TV has returned to her awareness .... so we get to watch some too. Kaylia quite likes "Spicks and Specks".

The first week of the holidays is almost over .... then it will be a week and a bit till Kat departs to join Emirates. We will then have two weeks with out an aupair ..... AJ will arrive on 16 August.

Funny story from this morning at Bunnings ..... I had been talking to the canteen attendant and we were both bemoaning the impact of "policy" on daily life .... apparently the rubbish bin in the shop area is not allowed to have the word 'Rubbish' on it ... and there must only be one bin at one side of the shop .... patrons sitting the other side of the shop must carry their rubbish over to the other side!
Then .... after Kaylia had been playing quite a while (with several other kids) .... someone noticed a small wet patch! Horror! (Not Kaylia this time ... Phew!). But soon after, a Bunnings person rushes up.... all the kids out.... BIG yellow sign with red letters (about 3m x 2m) is put up ...... DANGER.



Who knows what wording would have been appropriate!

Sanity would seem to suggest a mop and a bucket with a bit of hot water should be used .... instead we get a wholesale evacuation and panic. It's a strange world these days.
