#1935 Saturday 22 December

We're at Oleh Oleh .... it's a sort of department store.....  gorgeous clothes and stuff.... so we're doing Christmas shopping.

#1934 Thursday 20 December

We visited a mini-water park at a nearby resort.... Kaylia was impressed.   Here she is in the big pool. 

#1933 Wednesday 19 December

She's fixated on Christmas and on presents!  This is new for Kaylia.  In the past she has not really been aware of the imminent event.....  and she was only aware of  presents in the moment.  But now her mind has latched onto the future event!

Imagination!  She has visualised the future event.... so we can work on the picture that she holds in her mind.....  is this the key that will open the locked door of "no imagination"?

#1932 Tuesday 18 December

Settling into routine..... Kaylia's still coming back to "School tomorrow?"  repeatedly.....  we respond with a reminder that we are in Bali.....

Today we have no water at all!  The pump repairs (which were started yesterday) are taking longer than expected.   Buckets of water for the toilet.... swim instead of a shower..... let the dishes pile up!

Our big task for this trip is to replace the living room furniture.  The set we bought 7 years ago has not been able to stand up to guests flopping down.... the structure is too weak and continually breaks.  Yesterday we found a replacement.... beautiful yet very strong.

#1931 Sunday 16 December

The crew is in residence at the villa.  Naomi, Kaylia, Casey and me.  We have another arriving this afternoon.... Zariah... friend of Casey.

Kaylia is very clearly glad to have her daddy again after nearly 2 weeks absence.  This morning at the shops she would stand next to me and just rub herself over me.... getting close. At the moment Kaylia is in the pool.... splashing round.

Kaylia and me.... chillin and watching "Happy Feet"

Now we're at Aquaviva for tea and we noticed this variant on the menu.....
