Week of 11 to 17-Oct-10 (illness, parents help, leaking roof)

I took Gabi into work with me for part of Tuesday, then had Wednesday off work. As she was not improving, I called my parents Wednesday morning and they blessed us by driving down to be there. Gabi stayed off Thursday, but was well enough to return to school on Friday.

Gabi complained that her light wasn't working. On Saturday evening I pulled off the light cover to find it was filled with water (it tipped and poured over me, Gabi's bed and the floor. We had to isolate the room for the night.

We had a relaxing weekend at the local shopping centre, church, and on the roof pulling up tiles in an effort to locate the source of the leak. Nothing could be found. In fact it was quite dry. I put a new globe in and all is working okay for now.

We all really appreciated the home-cooked meals and game of Monopoly (especially me, who couldn't do a thing wrong - for a change).
