School Holidays

I enjoy the cool of the early morning having breakfast and reading in the kitchen. Bong arrives to drive Regis to work.

Jane - a fill-in yaya from another family - arrives. She tackles the detritus gathered over the course of the weekend.

We do arts and crafts then at lunchtime head out to the mall. First question asked is “Are we driving?”. Second is when I say “No” is “Why not?” to which my answer is “Because we can’t drive a car here”.

“Oh”. So it is a novelty to walk; we have lunch out;  we do all floors of the mall, looking at shops and finally (!) ice-cream for them and coffee for us. 

Then we walk home: to which the girls say “That’s a big day”! (We have done 5-6 kms).

The yaya has transformed the house!
