Part 9 has to be finished by October 10.
Here is what I did on it yesterday.
The kids have just started 2 weeks of school holidays and DH is going away for a week from Tuesday so I'm going to do lots of stitching.
The first week is going to be even quieter than I had planned.
This is DD's hand -
She had an accident with a craft knife at school on Thursday and the Dr had to glue her back together - the cut was too awkward for stitches. It's not too bad, but the cut is on the back of her hand over the knuckle at the base of her index finger so we have to keep the finger still until next Saturday so it can heal. I've strapped it up so she doesn't forget and try to use it.
She's sad because she likes to climb up the mango tree in our backyard and sit there reading.
DH had last week off work and spent the time painting our house gutters and eaves with his Dad.
We got our roof repainted earlier in the year before the solar panels went on and the old gutters were a lovely 80's pink.

The White house in more ways than one!!
Looks like the garden needs some serious work. The new roof colour is lighter than we planned but if it makes the house cooler in summer I don't care (we have no airconditioning)
The solar panels are fantastic. We got a 5Kw system and we have a credit on our last electricity bill which was for the winter months when it was unusually wet and cold.
We wish it was wet again, there's been no rain to speak of for the last 2 months.
I'm hoping to get caught up with my emails and blog reading over the holidays. Since my last post we've had some nasty cold viruses through the house. Everyone has been sick at some time except me and DD is still on antibiotics for a nasty cough. I think they were playing tag - first DH, then DS, last DD. I'll be glad when I have no sick/injured patients.
Looks like I will have to fight DD for computer time, she's waiting impatiently for her turn.
