Since arriving here in 2011, Willow has been counting the years and reminding us, of the anniversary of our arrival every year. This year, since it was "half a decade" as she put it, she was keen for us to have breakfast at Dome, as we did the year we arrived here. So Tuesday morning we headed out early, so that Damien could arrive at work on time, and went for breakfast. Only thing was, that pretty much everything went wrong! Or at least on my and Damien's end of it. Damien ended up mostly coated in milk and had to go home and get changed. Since Dome's service had been so average this time, we headed to a coffee shop in the Treasury Building, had a drink, and I picked up a rose, for Damien to cheer him up a bit, after the chaos of the morning!

I wasn't feeling the best yesterday, so to help me out, Gabriel painted with Arden.

Arden has been working on modelling pyramids and prisms in his maths this week.
Gabriel's tie is getting closer to completion.
Arden and I planted some linseeds earlier in the year; these are the seed pods and a dried stalk. The stalk would be used to make linen.
Seeds removed from seed pods.
Enjoying homemade pumpkin pie over the weekend.
Gabriel has been working on finishing his essay comparing "Romeo and Juliet" and "Iolanthe" and is currently reading "Swiss Family Robinson". He is moving on to history this semester (though we still have a few bits of science to finish off). He is researching and writing about the history of transport, communities and communication.
Willow is back at musicianship classes this week, and has a welcome party for her next performance, which is a youtube series this weekend. She has recently started using a music theory website to help her fine tune some of her aural music skills.
