#694 Sunday 9 September

Me again .....
.
We had a villa gathering last night .... occupants of all three villas at Greg's (Hibiscus #1) for a BBQ .... a pleasant evening for me with Greg and Paul both interested in guitar.  Kaylia performed in her usual routine and Naomi opted to take her home to bed very early.
.
This morning Kaylia has had a 'little beach' trip .... singing 'happy feet' on the way!  This is a good indicator that all is well in her world.  While there they found a 'magic circle' of 6 starfish!  (live ones)
.
I've been on maintenance groove .... adjusting doors, hanging Naomi's latest finds.  The doors in bedroom 4 are a real botch-up .... the builders used tiny screws to support very heavy doors ... and of course they don't hold ... so the door sags.  Simple to fix ... but the curtains, tracks and pelmet all have to be removed to gain access.  It's very annoying.
.
The repairs to the water supply system (made on on last trip) seem to be performing correctly.  The taps continue to fail ... one at a time.  The ceramic disc insert has a spring inside that loses its spring .... and then won't seal.  They all seem to be failing at the same time ... nearly two years old.
The new awning attached to the living room is working well .... it's cooling the room as well as its intended rain-proofing.
.
This afternoon AJ and Zoe have gone off to Padang Bai ... it's a pretty beach about an hour drive along the coast.
Kaylia is getting very picky about her food ... so I went off to the local Aussie butcher shop in the next street and bought a dozen frozen pies .... they're a hit!
