#2261 Thursday 1st February

Phew it's hot!  43 degrees outside and it's even hotter down in Midland.  I've stayed inside all day as the makes it too hard to do anything outside. Fortunately the measures we have put in place manage to combat the heat we'll.  We have lots of insulation, we have heat blocking curtains over the windows.... and a number of air conditioners.  Plus solar panels that produce nearly as much electricity as we use. 

I had to venture out and go down to the big shopping centre in Midland and while walking around there i was struck by the number of elderly people sitting round or lying on the seats in the rest areas.... for people who don't have an air conditioned house, the shopping centre is a really good place to escape the heat.

Happy birthday Kaylia!

She's had good day and she's gone off to bed very satisfied.  She is a very easy person to  look after these days..... stick to the routine and all is well.

We're waiting for Lee to arrive for the Monday session of Curve Style..... she comes at 10am and starts by taking Kaylia for a drive.... the the morning is spent doing "shop" stuff.  In the afternoon, Jenny comes to take Kaylia out for various activities such as movies, shopping, driving, bowling.....  She comes home at 4pm.

Kaylia is excited about her birthday tomorrow.  She won't be a teenager any more.... she'll be "grown up"!

On the Landrover front, progress is being made.  The Department of Transport have said that they will approve the vehicle!  Mind you, they haven't done this in writing yet.... so I'm not holding my breath.

My health has hit a new obstacle....  in addition to the trouble I have with my right wrist,  the left wrist is now giving similar problems.  A week ago, it felt as if it had dislocated.... severe pain with no cause or warning.  After days of strapping it slowly came good but it feels as though it will collapse after any unusual twisting.  So I now have both wrists strapped at all times. Ce la vie.
