The new workshop platform has been greatly appreciated already.  I had to replace a radiator hose and the platform made the task much easier.

Kaylia's NDIS funds are very low and we're having to juggle sessions till a new period begins.  Kaylia doesn't notice.... in some ways she's enjoying it because she gets more time with me!

Naomi will be in hospital tomorrow for the regular colonoscopy.

I've bought one of these and it arrived today.

It's an elevated work rest to ease the back pain when I'm working on the Landrover.  It's well made but the assembly instructions are terrible..... whoever wrote the instruction manual clearly never attempted to follow the instructions.  It's very cursory and lacking in detail.

Today was a day wben Kaylia does volunteer work at one of the op shops in Morley.  The manager was pleased with her work and rewarded her with a gift.... a jigsaw.

It's 8.20am and I'm recovering.  Yesterday the hose under the kitchen sink burst..... a new mixer tap was needed so I got up at 6am to do the installation before breakfast.  It's a bugga of a job to work in the dark at the back of the cupboard.  Fixing the kitchen plumbing should ideally be something the landlord does but we would be without water for a long time if we were to ask...... so I did it myself.

The box containing the mixer tap appeared to be sealed and untouched..... but a fairly important part was missing. It looks as though the box has been opened in the past.  Fortunately it was something I could make so it wasn't too bad.

 We all know about the sayings that the computer listens to us ..... not long after my last post about AI and the possible benefits for us, I saw a video about a Japanese company that has developed an AI robot with human appearance and functions! I will be keen to follow up on this.

 The coming of AI affects us all .... so we have been pondering how we can use it in Kaylia's life.  At some point in the future, intelligent artificial carers will be available.  So when that time comes we may be able to have a personal carer for Kaylia .... something that can keep her safe, that can ensure that she is caring for herself, that can be a companion.

Halloween time ... at Sassy dance they had a party and Kaylia dressed up.  

                                  She was very excited by it all.

          

She won a prize for dress up.

 ..... and in the middle of the day she had a session with the exercise physiologist.  I was listening from round the corner and it was clear that she was really enjoying the session!
