#1816 Saturday 26 May

It's 8am .... Kaylia has been in the bath for an hour .... she will probably be there for a while yet!  Outside the wind is howling and rain is coming down in fit and starts ....winter is coming.  The wind keeps blowing the side gates open and Teddy escapes.
It's only days now till the fire restrictions lift and I can start the bonfires .... such a good time!

As I write, rain is bucketing down ... and the magpies are sheltering from the rain on the verandah outside my window .... sitting on the washing line and singing away.  I do like the magpies!



This morning I created another backup of this blog in PDF format.  There are now 21 PDF's since the blog began in 2010.  These can be emailed to you if you want your own copy.














A cousin who lives in Albany ... 4 hours south of Perth .... has posted on this photo on FB  ..... it's of the southern side of Albany's Princess Royal Harbour last night (23rd May) so it's a fair distance away ..... it's an amazing sight.  Here we are in pouring rain .... and a few hours south they have major bushfires!




Today?  Hmm ...... it's not a day for outside things .... and inside things don't meet Kaylia's approval! So it might be a shopping center trip ..... to a center with covered parking!  Going for a drive would be miserable with the gusty conditions .... so that's out.  Staying home is beaut .... but there's always a limit to how long she can entertain herself.

Later: we're now at Midland gate.... "Stay in the car?" she says. Ok.... but I'm only here for you.... so we'll both stay in the car!  One of the things about Kaylia is that she is usually quite happy to just sit in the car.   We sat ..... and sat .... and sat .... and then she says "Shopping!"  So we go shopping.  Where to?  Woolworths!  So it was about half an hour of shopping directed by Kaylia.  First item? Orange juice.  We examined the different juices .... she chose one ..... and then put it back.  On to bread.  Then find a bottle of bubble bath.  We had to play "hot and cold" till she found that one on the shelves!  Then it was off to the checkout ..... with Kaylia scanning the items .... putting them in the bag ....and then paying using a card.

What next Kaylia?  Car .... KFC!  ..... and then home.
