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.

Tomorrow we drive down to Busselton for a 2 day break.  I've been telling the story of this trip at bedtime for Kaylia.... for ssoooo long!  I'll be glad to have it off the list of stories. 

We are very fortunate to have such a good natured daughter.  Granted that this is largely due to a good balance of medication......  when I remember the times that her medication was no right, I shudder.

..... but for now we can enjoy the good times.

Car repair day..... naomi's Kia is in for repairs after an unknown person dinged the right front fender.  So we're having to manage on one car for a couple of weeks.

Today I've been on duty as Jenny (who normally cares for Kaylia on a Tuesday) has tested positive for covid!  It was movie Tuesday.... and "round the block" in the car. We did the Weir circuit and I decided to look at the one place that I had not been to.  The signpost did not have any description or warnings so off we went.  It turned out to be not much more than a meandering bike trail.  It took us into some serious 4wd country and we wandered for about 40 minutes!

After driving back from York, Kaylia and went exploring again. This time to see what Mt Dale is like and assess it as a possible camping site.

It's the red place maker above.  South of the Mundaring Weir.

At the top left corner you can see the clearing of Bartons Mill. 

It's quite high. On a clear day I think the coast might be visible.

K and I went exploring to find "Bartons Mill"

It was a prison till around the 60s.... there's only a few retaining walls left on the site.  I imagine that it would be spooky on a moonlit night.
