Now that Salim has semi-retired (still working and writing from home), the couple have a lot of time on their hands

Salim tells Kate a little more about the article he’s going to write of Josette’s adoption, and both of them are excited to see how it’ll be received

Meanwhile, Kate’s excited keep working on her new book – she’s making so much money from her royalties now and is getting on so well with her author aspiration too!

Kate starts her day by reading a book in the office, looking for inspiration

Seeing his wife in the zone, he gives her a quick peck before leaving her to the book

And spends some time pampering Tiddles on the couch

Which he thoroughly enjoys!

As three o’clock comes around, the kids return home from school

Leia heads to talk to her Mother – she’s been asked on a date with Harry tomorrow and wants to know if she can go

It’s Mateo’s birthday tomorrow and he’s having some friends over, but Kate says that as long as she comes home first to give Mateo his gift she is allowed to go out

And speaking of Mateo, he’s been sent home with a project to complete, which Salim happily helps him out with, seeing as tomorrow is his last day of grade school!

Josette also has a project, so the devoted father jumps between the kids to ensure they both get his help

As the evening draws in, Kate heads into the kitchen to make chicken saltimbocca for dinner

And the family sit together, as always, to enjoy their dinner

After dinner, Salim helps Mateo finish his project

It’s a day of completing projects all around, as both of the school projects stand well completed by the kids!

And with the kids in bed, Kate and Salim get to work putting up balloons and setting up the karaoke machine (remember that?) for Mateo’s little party tomorrow

As well as setting up his present pile

And a table for snacks

Which Kate soon gets to work making

Upstairs, Josette and Mateo have been scared by a monster under the bed, but their brilliant big sister Leia is on hand to spray the monster away!
aww

Kate and Salim head to bed, ready for their middle child to become a TEEN tomorrow! Wow, Wow, Wow!

And that ends another day in Brindleton Bay! What will happen next? What will Mateo be like as a teenager? How will Leia’s date go? What else will happen?
