Month: November 2018

Laxmi went to Ziggy’s birthday party the day after we got back from Wallaby Creek. There was a fabulous pass the parcel and Laxmi got some paint and a canvas that she started using immediately. Laxmi said she was tired for a whole week after we got back from Wallaby Creek.

Varsha and Lara started doing daily drawings for Inktober. They went to Kellie’s house too. Lara had an acupuncture treatment and they went to Cairns with her for swing dancing. They came home with Zeph and Luca. Zeph and Luca have moved into a house across our street.

The photos came out from the photo booth at the swing dancing festival. There are some lovely ones of Varsha and Luca and Thiango.

Cat and I were busy working on the set and costumes for the 12th Night and I did a mosaic workshop for the school holidays in Dimbulah.

Tim and Carly and Louie came to stay overnight and we had a big dinner with them and Cat and Will and Cosi and Thiango and George and Lara. Varsha and Thiango and Lara made chocolate brownie. Tim and Carly brought beautiful Lilies.

It’s been a busy month since Varsha’s birthday at the end of September.

We rehearsed and made costumes and props for 10 Nights of Dreams. We performed with the Masaki family and Chiko from Indonesia and Zelda and Darren and the Kerrima mob. Marc and Tomomi took photos.

It was lovely to have Lara there again. She and nature played the crying bride. The off road wheelchair Peter loaned us was great.

Varsha said this 14th birthday was the best birthday yet. It was the first night of the festival with the Sassy Cats and the fire twirling. There was a chocolate cake and presents in the evening.

The creek was beautiful to swim in. We danced to the Secret Tuesdays and Faux Mo. on the last day there was a YAK rove. The theme was bleaching of the coral reef so the kids all painted their white costumes fluorescent coral colours and put in fluorescent face paint.

Laxmi got up early for the Poet’s Breakfast. She really enjoyed it and wants to read more poems. We started reading When we were very young.
