It’s been really hot. Laxmi’s been reading lots and looking up some good words.

A big thunderstorm blew in. We took a frightened dog inside. He was running around panicking. It took a while to find out where he came from afterwards. We walked around town and saw a funny Halloween hand sticking out of the boiler ruins.

We tried a game we hadn’t played before: living landscapes. It is about the connection of all the things in a garden or farm. It was pretty complicated but fun. We liked the illustrations on the cards.

Dakoda came over for a play. They started making fan fiction based on Harry Potter.

We have been making with clay quite often lately.

Varsha’s been working hard on completing things for the opening of their Hydra performance at the Cairns Art Gallery with the Young Creatives. She and Marley gave one of the speeches. We alll went down for it.

Cat and Will and Thiango and Cosi have come home from Indonesia. We had them over for dinner and they told us all about what they did.
