Kaylia is "graduating" to a new work program after completing a 12 assessment period.

Lots of smoke this evening.... making a spectacular sunset. 

I've constructed a windscreen demister for Bob using a Peltier module. It is solid state and works surprisingly well.

It's therapy time.... she has weekly sessions of speech therapy...... trying to improve her oral communication skills.  She enjoys it.  The enjoyment is partly due to her having social interaction.  At the moment they're making "play dough".

#2185 Thursday 11th May

It's a Curve Style day...... Kaylia has had Lee guiding her in how to prepare the clothes for sale.

..... and this is around 43 years since Mt St Helen in USA erupted.... reminding us of just how small we are compared to nature. ..... and the thought of Yosemite if that should erupt. It's no wonder that life in the US seems so violent when they are constantly threatened by the forces of nature on that scale. 

Awesome! 

The Landrover is slowly progressing..... I have a list of about 6 tasks to be completed and then it might be ready.

Some thoughts for today from one of Naomi's favourite actors......

Kaylia has Curve Style today and Thursday..... she has Lee to help her process the clothes that are on sale in her eBay store.

Later..... Kaylia is a bit off tonight and asked for one of her old nursery rhymes.  Red Riding Hood! ...... and Kaylia actually corrected parts of the story.  

This story is the source of a frequently uttered saying when she's annoyed by Teddy..... Big Shiny Axe!!

An interesting image for those readers who would like to be sailors......

wow!

Kaylia is enjoying life.... we've just been off to buy watermelon.... and then we feasted. 

She has an AAC device...... Augmentative and Alternative Communication. It's basically an ipad with special software on it.  She's able to construct a sentence using images..... and it will then speak.

I'm stuffed..... In recovery time after another Kanga accident where I managed to turn it completely upside-down. I used the winch on the Landrover to pull it back onto it's wheels but not before losing a quantity of fuel and a large part of the hydraulic oil.  It's an expensive accident in that way.

Kaylia has had a good weekend with her dvd hunting.... about 25 yesterday and another 16 today.  I expect one of her huge stacks of dvds will topple over soon.  UH-0H!

 We're at the Sebel Busselton using points from our timeshare club.  Kaylia is enjoying the op shops ..... last night she came home with 10 DVDs and they must have been very good ones!  We had about 2 hours of her crooning and droning ... her happy sounds.  And then she stayed in her own bed all night!  It might be the first time ever.  Usually we wake to find that she has crawled in between us .... often without disturbing our sleep.

It's funny to see how the wild ducks make use of the facilities that are provided.
