#1275 Monday 6 June

Today is Tom's birthday!  CC was up early and decorated the dining room ..... Naomi had ordered a special present for him but it hadn't arrived so Tom had a "letter" from AustPost waiting for him .... explaining that his parcel was somewhere this side of the black stump .... have a cold one and chill!
..... and then as we were cleaning up after breakfast, the courier came by with his parcel .... howzatt for timing!





After breakfast we lit up the bonfire in the garden .... the 12 month collection of garden burnables.  It was a good fire and not long after it had burned down, it began to rain ..... once again .... howzatt for timing!

We've been trying to find the "Kaylia" on the T-towel

#1274 Sunday 5 June

This morning we did the Bindoon trek again ..... it has a good op shop and a great bakery.  

In the afternoon we found that the clothes washing machine had died.  Since it had reached a ripe old age, we're sad but not too upset.  It had served us well for over 15 years!   The new machine was installed by 3pm.

#1273 Saturday 4 June

 Coffee this morning ......

(Hannah, you'll appreciate it!)


Kaylia has had a great sleep in and relax this morning .... including about 2 hours in the bath.  CC puts the "light ball" in the bathroom for mood .... and Kaylia really digs it.

#1272 Friday 3 June

Kaylia's pain attack continue.   We can delay them till after school by using pain-killers ..... and then when she gets home, we manage it with heat bags and Tiger Balm .... 

I'll be glad when she gets over it .... and I'm sure that she will be happy too.

For those of you who know the Great Barrier Reef ..... and who are concerned about the threat to the reef ...... look at this!!


Reef petition


Just click on the link .... it's a petition started by an 11 year old girl .... it needs support.

Kaylia .... for the past few days she's been suffering fro severe pain attacks.  The pain seems to be in the shoulder neck area.  We took her to the doctor today and the opinion is that it is muscle spasm ..... the sort of thing we all get from perhaps sleeping with the pillow in the wrong place.  So .... massage, heat rub etc

#1270 Monday 30 May

Kaylia's becoming more and more of a typical pre-teen...... she spends ages in her room listening to music.

#1269 Sunday 29 May

We've been doing maintenance down at the office .... and reached a point where it was time for some lunch.  I took Kaylia down to Macca's   .... and returned to find that they had really stuffed up the order.  The burgers were wrong and Naomi's of onion rings?  Well..... look at this!

Someone in there had a sense of humour!!!

It's now 5pm and Kaylia has been in the bath for two hours!
