1305 Friday 22 July

We had a pleasant surprise when collecting our Chinese take-away tonight .... a free meal!  As you know, we are regular customer a there and last week our order was mixed up with some one else's order ...... so tonight we were given a freebie in compensation!   We're impressed!!

Kaylia's change in medicine is progressing .... it's a 6 week process .....

1304 Thursday 21July

It's 7:30pm and Kaylia is being a bit obstreperous...... rolling around and doing anything but fall asleep.
15 minutes later and it has turned into a bit of a pain attack.  Naomi has taken over managing the situation ..... she's very good at it.

I'm writing this on my new phone ..... a Huawei P9 ..... it's the first real upgrade I've had in  a number of years and although my old iPhone 4s is still ok, I was  caught by the smart watch that came free with the new phone.  I now pay less per month on my plan even with the new handset. Kayla now has several iPhones to choose from .... so she can always have a charged battery.  She uses the iPhone almost constantly so keeping it charged is always a battle.

I've just been to the chemist to get her new medicines .... one constipates and another gives the runs .... so hopefully they will average out!

This evening as I was putting out the rubbish bins for collection tomorrow I was struck by just how good are the stairs that Callum built for us.  I love the way I'm reminded of the people that have been part of our life .... Callum, Chris.

The plumber came this morning to quote on the repairs .... $550 ..... he's coming tomorrow to do the work.   I could do it myself but it's time to accept the physical limitations that come with age.

#1302 Monday 18 July

Naomi is struggling with the virus .... it's likely to be dengue fever or similar.   Today she wasn't up to driving .... so I was "chauffeur" so she could attend a work commitment.

Kaylia meanwhile has been to the Chocolate Factory .... and the park .... and had lots of tickles!

..... and I've put on my plumbers hat to clear a blocked drain .... it all began with a drip onto the floor in the bathroom ..... and has grown into a much bigger job.  I'm getting a quote for a plumber to do it.  It's well within my abilities but age is catching up with me!
