Park for AJ to play with Talo. He kept teasing Kai with his toys. Then when Kai got a hold of the toy (a buzz light-year figure), he grabbed Kai by the shirt and swung him onto the ground. Dinner at Thomas' with Jared and Jon - I talked to Lara, as she chased the rooster off mounting the chicken.

Setup and played with the VR headset from Dave, Kai had his first turn at VR with a roller coaster game. Als 40th birthday in the city - watched a dude with dark glasses who has dancing nearby get kicked out. Walked to Death and Taxes for a scotch. They didn't have the talisker port.

Ant took me aside - thought I was in the shit, but he apologised for a comment about called a western wedding 'normal' - in relation to a Vietnamese wedding. I never even noticed the comment. Went to Dave Boyle's after work for lamb, salad, and sour wine that Vin had made.

Alan came to soccer for the first time. I look up 30s in, and he's on the ground holding his knee. Went to a chemist to get crutches, rapidgel, and painkillers for him.

I watched Kai jump off a fort at the park next to Al and Nina's, crashing to the ground from high up. I sprinted over to him terrified he'd really hurt himself - he was clutching at his foot.  We carried him back to the car, and he settled as we drove home. I got him ice cream, and he smiled and enjoyed it.

Made bagels to prepare for the week ahead - to get my recipe down before I make them for Any/Jared who are coming to the office for workshops. Julie went to see Hamilton with her girlfriends - I looked after the boys. Was so exhausted getting them down to sleep - that I crashed out after.

Dropped AJ off at school as Julie had to take Kai to swimming. He cried as I helped him out of the car.

Showed AJ how to make a stop motion video, and made one with a T-Rex. We then went to Bunnings to buy seeds, then came home to repack my computer bits in the garage. Tried to kill a huntsman, but it hid somewhere in Laughy's toolbox.

The neighbour from downstairs came over while I worked and asked about the dirt on their balcony. I let him know it was due to the roof cleaners.
