Sheep Guarding Llama

Wednesday.  Got up this morning and worked for two hours before anyone else in the house woke up.  We all went to bed at the same time last night.

I went to the stores this morning around the corner and got lucky with the bakery having my favourite bread today.

Our power went out again today because Dominica used two appliances at once and that kills the main breaker every time.  Not the best wiring in this house.

Lego Words finally went to final release so I worked on downloading that today and after a long time was able to let the girls play it which they did this evening.

The girls also started playing The Book of Unwritten Tales again tonight.  They played it before but they were so young when they did that neither of them remember it at all.  So they are getting a full second play out of the game.  It’s one of my favourite.  A classic for them.  This is one of the handful of games that really make Liesl into a gamer.

Tuesday. Started the day with heavy rain.  So much rain here in Sicily. It’s not Transylvania rain levels, but it rains often.  Way more often than I would have guessed.

I was busy doing website setup work this morning. I’ve been putting in a lot of time getting websites built while Dominica does website design.

The kids were studying Italian history today in home school.  They had a good morning of school but it devolved into screaming later on in the day.

Dominica made pasta for dinner tonight.  The girls played Child of Light on Steam tonight up in my office where we have the gaming system set up with the projector.

We are finally heading off to Palermo this coming weekend.  So just wrapping things up here in Noto before heading out for a few days.

Monday.  Another bright and really warm day in Noto, Sicily.  After taking yesterday off to watch Star Trek: TNG we have a lot to do today so we made it mostly a busy day of work.  The girls are back to school today, although it was a light day and not a full one.

Dominica did more website work and her first banner ads today.  She is adding more and more to her graphic design portfolio.  And it only took an hour or less from the time that she made her first banner ads before we got our first inquiry from them for services!  Apparently the new site works.

Our next door neighbours here in Noto are having their tile roof replaced.  So we have a roofing crew right on level with our second floor so it is quite loud here.  But interesting to watch them working on a house of this style.

Dominica made breakfast this morning and I made a trip on foot to the corner store.  And laundry going on today, too.

Tonight, Dominica made pumpkin risotto for dinner.

I slept in late this morning not getting up until about noon.  I had been up late last night working on platform issues for ML so needed some time to sleep.  Dominica made open face egg sandwiches for breakfast this morning.  Very delicious.

This evening we watched more of the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation with the kids.  They have been enjoying it so far.  It has been a long time since Dominica and I watched these.  Such good stuff.  They didn’t watch with us all evening, but were in and out.  They found something that they liked on YouTube and watched that for a bit.

Not a lot of updates written, we’ve been very busy with working and life planning and we have started falling behind on being online.

Today is our first day back on our own without Ryan as he left last night to take the train up to the mainland.  He is touring Napoli today.

This morning I made a trip down to the corner store to get our groceries. This afternoon I took the kids down to the playground and let them get some exercise and fresh air.  They love having playgrounds within walking distance.  That’s very nice.

I did some NodeBB maintenance today, ML is running on 1.4.4 today.

The kids played Minecraft PE today while Dominica and I were watching Star Trek: The Next Generation on Netflix.  The girls seem to be enjoying Star Trek.

Dominica made a mushroom risotto for dinner that we ate at home.
