Wow ... it's good to be a long way from Washington DC! The news of the riots and violence is very disturbing. 

Kaylia is oblivious of course.... she's focused on getting 10 DVDs this afternoon! This is still a powerful motivating force in modifying her behavior. This afternoon we head down to the Midland op shops and she can find some more DVDs to add to her collection. 

All those stacks are two deep! 

Projects? 

Nothing in the granny flat this week. I scored 4 eight meter lengths of very heavy steel this week (free!) and the week has been consumed with getting them home, getting them down to the back shed and then stacking them for future use. The Kanga loader is magical for this. I plan to build a grader attachment for the Kanga in the future and this steel is just what is needed.

A simplified version of this ......

You might remember that about 6 weeks ago we had the ceiling in the main living area reclined and more insulation put in......  it was a really good idea and makes the house much more pleasant. Today is very hot outside and inside the house is cool without the main area air-conditioning being used.

The news in the USA is very disturbing isn't it. Good news about the Georgia election results though.  It looks as though sanity may return to that poor nation. 

Of course Kaylia is oblivious and she's currently obsessed with her looming birthday on the 30th. She'll be 17!  Time has flown and soon she will be in the adult world.  It's hard to imagine how she will cope. I guess she will be at home for many years to come.

Kaylia's at Friendship Club in fremantle..... I'm waiting to take her home.  She's clearly had a very good day..... she's so engrossed in her activities that she hasn't noticed that I'm here.  It's very good.  All the people here are very excited and happy.  The whole setup is very good for her..... it means that I have a day waiting around but that's a small price for her benefits.  Unfortunately this will be her last year as she will be too old next year.

It's sleep in time!  I'm surrounded by snores.... even Teddy.  I've been downstairs to let the chooks out..... and now I wait till everyone wakes up.  This morning we're going to visit a friend who has a new puppy..... a golden Labrador. It brings back memories of when Freddie was a pup.

I spent a few hours in the shed yesterday...... I'm clearing out as much of the stored stuff as I can.  There's going to be a very big bonfire when the burning season is open.  It's months away so there's no rush.
