The funeral for baby Faith was quite moving, and the place was packed. There had been at least 400 photos taken of her in one short week, and many of them were shown at the funeral. Afterwards, as the car left with the tiny casket, we all let off helium balloons.

Bronwyn's parent's dog had to be put down recently too, and an old horse died out in the paddock. Our cat has not returned either, so there have been quite a few changes lately

Sarah has been, um, exploring boundaries. She has learnt to use scissors, and cut the straps on her shoes. Last Saturday, she got the sack of dog biscuits and tipped most of them out on the floor. She also chopped up some drinking straws on front of the TV. On Sunday, she opened a bean bag. Thousands of tiny polystyrene balls all over the spare room. Then she got the cat repellent, and squirted it everywhere. This week has been quiet by comparison, but we're careful not to let her near the felt tips...

The solo competition with the brass band went well, but took quite a while. I managed most of my piece, but fell over on the high and difficult bit in the middle. Next year I might try something a little easier!

They're planning the bonfire at our place again on Wednesday. The forecast says it'll be fine. But it's pretty wet out there at the moment!
