We had a full day rehearsing 10 Nights Dreams for Wallaby Creek. Everyone is looking forward to going there.

Varsha and Laxmi have been revisiting a favourite old game, Broken Age and Laxmi has been watching Superhero Girls.

The piano tuner came. It was really interesting to see what he did and look at the inside of the piano.

Varsha has been doing more drawing. She made hair and a hat for one of the dolls she has repainted. She also finished painting a box she is making to store doll’s clothes in.

Grandma sent a parcel of doilies for Varsha. She is going to make them into a curtain for her room.

We research lots of things like how to identify cardamom after we were given some at the markets this month. We also looked up Zoot suits and the historical significance of suits like that.

Music classes continue and we are working on an alien themed performance with music for the Variety Night.

We went to the painting activity with the Tablelands Homeschoolers in Yungaburra. Laxmi loved painting with a drill. There was a big Pokémon card swap too.

Dakoda came for a play and she and Laxmi spent all day in the tree house.

Laxmi has been really enjoying her maths and brain training and learning Japanese and Danish.

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit. Laxmi found a recipe for avocado potato salad we made together.

Grandpa fixed the gramophone and we have been listening to the old music.

Laxmi counted up all the change Grandpa gave her.

We went to the Tablelands Homeschoolers felting rocks activity in Atherton.

We went up Babbler Hill with Rupert and Juliana on the full moon evening before the lunar eclipse. Varsha and Laxmi builtsime more on the cairn at the top of the hill.

It was birthday season at Kerrima.

We went to Cat’s 1950’s Sophia Loren dinner party, Thiango’s tropical picnic at Davies Creek and Cosmo’s Minecraft party!

Laxmi has been enjoying doing things around the house. She washed the car and she’s been washing the dishes and cooking food.

Varsha has been working on her hydra head for the young creatives project.

It’s been cold and very beautiful. Varsha took this lovely photo of the morning light.

Harriet visited for a week and worked on her novel.

I gave two mosaics workshops for the school holiday program in Julatten. Laxmi and Cosmo came along. Varsha and Thiango went to a youth group camp out at Tekira’s place instead. They had a fabulous time.

We went to Cairns for the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair.

Varsha learned how to embroider to make these socks for Lara’s birthday present. She made a beautiful box too. But we got Lara’s birthday day wrong. Varsha worked so hard to get it in the post on time and it arrived one month early!

We went to Mareeba and Charley gave Varsha another treatment for her kinked back. We had a picnic in the park and went to the library. Laxmi zoomed through her book before we got home.

We have been doing music practice. John pulled apart the piano accordion trying to fix the sticky keys.

We went to swing dancing. Luka and Zeph were there. It was lots of fun. We had bubble tea at the night market before we drove home.

John made doughnuts.

Varsha went to swing dancing looking very smart again last week. Thiango took a nice Polaroid of her outfit. This week she got a cold and stayed home.

Laxmi has been making funny movies.

Varsha and I went to the Port Douglas carnivale parade on our way to the airport to pick up John. We saw the Sassy Cats in the parade. One of the circus teachers is in Sassy Cats. We really enjoyed watching a busker doing contact juggling and other clever tricks.

Laxmi had her first archery class last week. She really loved it. This week she has a cold and had to miss out. She was very disappointed.

We had circus for the first time in a while. They did lots of silks.

We had a dentist appointment and X-rays to see about Varsha getting braces.

They are building a new house across the road. The frame went up so quickly. It looks like a drawing.

Varsha made a little pathway through the grass to the dam. It was nice to have a sunny day and go outside after some grey and wintry days. It’s started to get cold at night.

We had a stall at the markets. Laxmi made a house in a tree in the park where the markets are and Varsha did the kids craft activity with her friends.
