It's 11.30am...... Kaylia is still asleep!  She must be having a growth spurt or something.  I'm not complaining about it..... it means that I don't have to be taking her for a drive "round the block"!  For her, this means that I drive as long as I can stand it!  Usually I just go exploring back roads and tracks....  I find some interesting places in the wanderings.

The person that we employ as a carer to help out with Kaylia seems to have given up..... she hasn't turned up for the whole week.  I guess we will have to find a new carer. 

One week to go till school starts again.... Yay! 

Kaylia has her 17th birthday on the 30th.

 14 days till school starts again.  I really miss having time to get properly stuck into projects.

It's 9pm and Kaylia is in the last stage of the nightly routine.  It starts with a call ...."Blanket please!" ..... so Naomi and I toss for who has to get up from the comfy lounge chair and go into the bedroom to restore order to the chaos that Kaylia always manages to change her bed into.

Then by about 7:30pm it's time for the evening medicine ..... and another session of bed blanket battles...

Then we wait for the next call ..... all the while listening to her music - which is always a couple of bars of something repeated over and over.

Now I'm waiting for the final call when she has decided that it's time to give me her "ipad" (Samsung tablet) and go to sleep.

Tomorrow it will all begin again.

Two weeks till school starts again.  Kaylia can't wait.... and neither can I!   During the holidays my time is mostly taken up with drives and there's little time for projects. 

Today will be a trip to Fremantle to the E-shed..... and then to the Balcatta op-shops. 

8.30.   There's a fire about 15km to the east of us.  With the strong easterly winds today, I can only hope that they get the fire under control quickly.
