Midday .... I've just collected the Verada after the repairs .... the bill hurt! $1,790 for the failure of a part that cost $2.76
Ce la vie.
I had a good talk to Zoe this morning. She finishes her study in early June and might be back here in early September. She will notice the change in Kaylia!

#574 Friday 27 April
Day One of school is over ... Kaylia is happy to be back at school but tired out.
Scooter ..... I found a basic one that will allow us to see whether she really wants to ride a scooter .... if its just a whim then $20 is not very much. If she does want to ride, we can look for a better one.
Naomi's car is still in "hospital" ..... the a/c lost its gas on the weekend ..... the repair estimate is $1,200! (The dashboard has to be removed.). The fault was caused by the failure of a 20c 'o' ring!
Today is the start of the first rental period of the villa in Bali .... a significant event. It's been hard work to get to this point.

Kaylia has trouble articulating the sounds of words .... she's at that stage of development. The good thing is that she has become aware of the problem and she's trying to do better. "school" = "gool"
She's mad keen to get back to school and we've been counting down the days. ...... And suddenly she gets the "sch" sound! ....Over and over! Yay!
Evening:
This afternoon we had a family outing on the river ... a skate park was nearby and Kaylia was fascinated. In addition to the big kids on skateboards, some little kids were on scooters. Kaylia clearly wants one and kept dragging us back to watch them.
So we start looking.

During the night we had a very noisy possum climbing around outside our bedroom ..... This morning he's still there! There's a small hole into the roof space and he's decided that it's where he wants to go .... but he can't fit!
I'll wait till tonight to make sure he gets out .... then block the hole.

Kaylia and Naomi are off at the movies (seeing 'Mirror, Mirror') .... these movie trips are something from Naomi's childhood and so far the big drawcard for Kaylia is the pop-corn and lollies!
I've been fixing some leaking taps while they're away.
