Last night was a SAGA! Big time! It went down like this........
Some of you will know of Kaylia's bedtime routine where I pretend to be the dentist ..... (she luuurves her dentist!) .... I sit on a chair next to the bed and she lies on the bed with her head on my lap .... and I am Doctor Daddy! She gets a very thorough tooth cleaning every night. Well .... last night as we were finishing the routine, Kaylia and the bed just quietly sagged onto the floor! Boom. All the fixings that held the wooden bed frame together had come to pieces. For years Kaylia has been running into the room and diving onto the bed ..... and all the screws finally gave up and the frame collapsed!
Since the mattresses are very thick memory foam, they are very heavy .... and so the task of disassembling the bed, stripping the broken components, then reassembling with new parts ...... was a massive task! I was slaving at it from 7pm to 9pm. At one point we brought Kaylia up to look at the bed in pieces and we quietly told her ... "This is what happens when you jump onto the bed." She was clearly chastened ... and I heard a little voice "Sorry Daddy."
Yesterday and today, Kaylia has come home from school with sun burnt arms and face .... summer is here again.
Many of you will know of our penchant for geckos .... we get very big geckos in the house in Bali and we like them ..... but here the geckos like to get inside the outdoor units of the air conditioners! And then ZAP! .... no more gecko and dead air conditioner. Today that was the diagnosis for another of the air conditioners. It makes life a bit expensive.
This is very funny - despite being very serious!
