Lately

I have been busy visiting childcare places, and confirming Sam's spots for this year and next year. Sam started in Lady D's family daycare 2 weeks ago. Because it is based in the carer's home, I hope this translates to less sickness (less kids). Lady D cooks a vegetarian lunch for the kids every day and she's been doing this for 21 years, Sam seems happy with her. Even though not all the days I want is confirmed, I feel comfortable that things are starting to fall into place. Work has been busy and with Simon started a new job, completing life's many activities just seemed a little rusher and harder. Lara has done 2 school orientations and I have booked after-school care and got some uniforms. There is still quite a lot to do before the year's end.



We had a few very warm days in the last couple of weeks but fortunately some wet days too. The new grass in the back garden is growing crazy with the the good combinations of rain and sun. We were told to let the new turf grow and not cut it for 6 weeks, but Simon had to cut it a little earlier in fear of breaking the lawnmower. The first cutting took him a long time. The rain hopefully will make the 9 new plants we bought last week grow too.



Wei-po came 2 weeks ago. The timing was good and wei-po helped with cooking, looking after kids, and household chores. Lara loved doing puzzles with Wei-po after dinner and Sam went to wei-po when food was served. Wei-po's flight home was delayed for 2 hours so she must be exhaused. We hope she visits us again soon.
