#2409 Friday 1st August

We're in Busselton.... and it occurred to us that we don't have to hold our breath as we wait for the next staff person to resign... or the next disaster to strike....  it can be a proper holiday.

Kaylia is in her 'big room'..... she's happy. 

#2408 Thursday 31st July

Kaylia is very excited about the trip to Busselton tomorrow... she looks forward to all the parts of the trip.  We stick to the same places to stop at.

Today I used up most of the free timber that I've been able to scrounge from the back door at Bunnings.... I really appreciate the way that they throw out anything that is not up to standard.  This is what I've made today.

Brrrr! It's still cccooollld!

We're going to Busselton for 2 days.... down Friday and back Sunday.  It's largely to satisfy Kaylia's need for routine.  We will stay at the Sebel where she can have the 'big room'! 

#2406 Monday 28th July

The month is almost over..... and it's very cold! 

Kaylia has begun a new medication that research says that it may help reduce her weight. Fingers crossed. 

I finished the drill stand on the weekend. 

It is adjustable for different materials. 

I'm off to Butler today.... Pete is in hospital and I'll visit him. I go up there each Monday. 

#2405 Thursday 24th July

 Medical stuff is on my mind ......

Kaylia at Sassy Dance this morning.... 

Kaylia is fine ..... she's had a persistent cough for a while ..... I bought a box of cough tablets and she hates them.  So she stops coughing .... 'cos she knows that if she coughs, I will give her a tablet.

#2404 Sunday 20th July

Wild weather today....

The Sunday routine was varied today..... we went into East Victoria Park to visit a place of yumminess that Naomi has discovered. It was indeed yummy!  

I was intrigued by the changes in the area....  I had lived in that suburb 50 years ago and the changes since then are huge.  The same applies to Perth in general.... so much has changed.  And I think it's all much better than before.

#2403 Friday 18th July

Kaylia is still not well.....  and she can be a so and so at these times.  I guess being sick is not part of her routine.... so it's just not right!  Today we stayed in bed till 11am and then went for a drive.... we did the Mundaring Weir circuit.

My "soopa drill" came today.....

it's a magnetic base drill so it can operate at any angle and position. 

I've been buying tools for 50 years now and I'm constantly amazed at the way that tools get better and better.... and cheaper all the time.  Tools are very cheap now.
