A few quick updates today.
Catherine finished 270-page A Helping of Horrid Henry over the four-day break, her longest book ever.
The mango tree in our backyard is now bearing fruit. None are yet ripe.
Catherine’s classmate Jesse came for a playdate late afternoon. They investigated the pear (avocado) tree and mango tree, cutting the young, unripe fruit open and examining the seeds.
We installed Catherine’s new mosquito net, hoping that it will reduce the number of bites she receives. We were assisted by Norbert, a Commonwealth Hall carpenter, who drilled holes for the hooks in the concrete ceiling. The high ceiling necessitates the strings. You might know she feels like a princess in the bed.
Mark spent much of the afternoon reading, relaxing after the busy-ness of his tournament yesterday.
