Keira slept in our bed again last night so I’m presuming she’s still worried about the burglar. I wish I hadn’t told her the truth. I should have just said he got lost and entered the wrong house. But then how would that explain the fight and why the police officer was here?



God I am just so fatigued lately. I can’t seem to stay awake for a full day without taking a nap. I feel nauseas yet I need to eat all the time….if only I had the energy to get up and make myself something. I wish there were a doctor I could….ooop.



Hello. I’ve had these symptoms before……could I be?
If I just lay down for half an hour… then I’ll get something to eat...nope too hungry to wait.

Well it looks like my suspicions were correct. I just grew a belly, just like that! I still haven't gotten over it from the last time.



That feels a little better, but I’m still hungry. If I don’t stop eating I’m going to look like a beached whale very soon.

The orange tree is bursting with fruit again; I wish the lemon tree would do the same. I guess i'll harvest the fruit then. Gives me a good excuse to go outside and get some fresh air before Keira is home from school.



Here comes the bus now. I love watching her come home from school. Everyday she turns and waves to the bus driver. That’s so sweet. Her friends do the same. Good to see some manners and courtesy in today’s kids.
Woah...Did i just say that?! Am i sounding like a mother or what?



Aren’t they the same clothes she had on yesterday?

Speaking of friends, she’s brought another one home with her. I wonder if her parents know she’s here. I would never let Keira go to some stranger’s house without telling me, even then I wouldn’t trust her to go on her own.



‘Hey baby girl, did you have a good day today?’
‘yes mummy, this is my friend Lila’
‘Hello Lila, does your mum know you’re here?’
‘yes, she said it’s ok’
‘well alright then, you girls go and play. Keira, I have something to tell you later but first I’m just going to lay down on the couch for a little while ok?’

As I dozed on and off on the lounge I glanced at the girls chatting on the floor when Keira hung her head and told Lila about the burglar.



I slowly lifted myself off the lounge and suggested they go outside and play with the water wobbler, or whatever it's called, that Keira received on her last birthday.
They loved this idea and quickly forgot about the ‘bad man’

As they headed out the front door another little girl wandered into the yard.
‘Hi, do you want to come and play in our sprinkler’ Keira asked her shaking her hand as she introduced herself.




How polite is that! I’m so proud of her!

I watched them play for a while. They kept sticking their bums in the water. It was so cute and funny to watch and they were giggling their heads off.



Notice the other 2 girls have identical swimsuits on. Goes to show the lack of variety we have in this town. I order my clothes online.
