This is not going to be a pretty post.
It’s been a lousy couple of days. Gloomy weather, non-stop rain. Even the cricket match yesterday was a wash-out. Anyway, that was good. We needed it. Better than losing to the Aussies. In fact, I’m secretly hoping we have a few more wash-outs during the series.

Locked Out
I don’t know why, but my daughter seems to have a penchant for locking people up. Actually, this time she locked us all out of the house.
I was out doing a little gardening… seriously, I was. Thaïs was out on the porch watching me. After a while Mario came out to see what was going [...]

Thaïs will say and do anything to stay up past her bed-time. Last night, after I put on her pyjamas and got her ready for bed, she tried to have a conversation with one of her imaginary friends. She flipped open her toy cell phone and said, “Hello… hmm… yes. OK… bye.”

Walk The Dog
No, this is not a yo-yo trick. We allowed Thaïs to walk one of the bigger dogs all by herself, yesterday. Of course, we were not far behind. But did she enjoy commanding Maggot (yes, that’s the dog)!
Maggot, move it, I said!
Stop!
Sit!
Wait!
Come on, let’s go!
She showed absolutely no fear at all. In fact, she was [...]
