.... does this depict us finding our true heritage?

..... or trying to cover it up!

Yesterday was a stinking hot day..... We've had hotter days but I guess we're out of practice and it really felt like it was roasting. 

Kaylia starts her new position at the "Save the Children" op shop in Malaga next Friday. It's a big step for her.  It should go well as the aide that she knows will be her support in the new position. We will take Kaylia to the Midvale Workpower in the mornings and then the aide will take her to Malaga. It should work out well for her. 

Isn't this a beautiful image? 

            ...... it reminds me of the moments with the joeys I have raised ..... sitting in the armchair with 'Roo" curled up inside my jumper.  There are few aminals that convey that level of closeness and belonging.

..... and how do you like this?! 

Today's post........

The countdown is on at full steam..... 15 days to Kaylia's 19th birthday! She wants a story about it several times a day. ..... plus stories about the next trip to Busselton.....  and any other possibilities.  It's not quite at the nagging level yet..... she can control it when she is reminded.

We had a visit from a speech pathologist during the week. We're going to be getting a device for Kaylia that will allow her to make the device "speak" for her. It can learn new words so she can increase its vocabulary.

 Zoe flies home to Zurich today.  We've had a pleasant last day - op shops and Nandos!  Kaylia was given "special day" and she came home with 21 DVDs!

I've got "oral issues" - a molar tooth has fallen to bits and I have a sharp bit of tooth hitting the inside of my cheek.  I've booked a dental visit .... it's about 10 years since my last visit.....

Gee it was hot today!  Kaylia was off with her carer..... she always enjoys these days..... she gets drives and fun activities.

I was in the shed..... making a steel post to fit under the balcony.  Zoe came down to watch..... and photograph it all.

We're at Bilgoman pool for a swim before tea. After a long spell when Kaylia wasn't interested in swimming she has regained her delight in the water.

Today Kaylia has had a day out with her carer and I've been in the shed. I've been setting up the traditional Land rover bonnet mounted share wheel. After Zoe got home from her trip to the city we both took Bob for a little drive up and down rhe road..... Zoe is very impressed.
