Varsha found a nice spot to read Catcher in the Rye.
Laxmi thinks she might be related to the girls in the mural outside the supermarket.
We had lunch at Dino’s on John’s birthday.

This week was the 5th week of learning a routine at swing dancing. Everyone had got really good.

The rain eased up a bit this week. Varsha went to see Finn off at the airport and we all went swing dancing.
We went to the dentist and the orthodontist in Mareeba on Wednesday.
On Thursday we went to Malanda to the games day with the Tablelands Homeschoolers. There were theatre games and board games. Laxmi played chess and Varsha played a version of dungeons and dragons. We went op shopping and looked at some of the big mosaics in Malanda.
Dakoda came over for a play on Friday. Cosi came for a while too. They played in the rain, did some sewing and drawing and made videos of each other cooking.
It’s still really rainy. Playing lots of games and watching things. Varsha was inspired to refine her wardrobe after we watched The rest of Marie Kondos Tidying up shows.
It cleared up a bit and went into Mareeba for shopping and op shopping and the library.
Yesterday was the first activity with the Homeschoolers for Term 1. We went ten pin bowling in Atherton and to the park for a play afterwards.

Laxmi and I went out in the garden and planted turmeric and ginger when the rain eased up a bit.
Laxmi has been playing Prodigy, the maths game and is getting excited about learning how to use a 3D drawing app called sketch up.
Rainy days: watching Iron Man, Merlin, Marie Kondo, reading The Wizard of Earthsea and Harry Potter, playing Tangled and Sleeping Queens, Twister, Monopoly and chess. Dinner and board games and charades at Zeph’s last night. Lovely!
Cosi and Laxmi have had some big days role playing with the plushies.

We got up early and went to a friend’s farm and picked 10 kilograms of mulberries!
We had a lovely Dal Bati feast for my birthday. Bati are cooked over a cow dung fire in Rajasthan. Cat and Will and Cosi and Thiango and Zeph and Luca and Finn all came.
Laxmi and I walked the dog following the amount Molloy visitors map looking at places of interest.
