Went out to his sisters for tea on Friday night, lovely meal as always. Did very little yesterday. Himself went out on mens business with his brother in law on Saturday morning. I did the housework, well I was going to do the housework until I found my vacuum cleaner flatter than a pancake. Somehow the switch had been left on..... Never mind I put it on the charger and sat down and did nothing but watch the activity here in the caravan park. Caravan parks can be fascinating places if one takes the time to sit quietly and just watch!!!
Today we have been into the CBD of Darwin to join the crowds strolling the Mall. I bought swim wear for the first time in 30 years. Thank goodness I will never have to do that again! Stressful.We did lunch at a nice little eatery in the Mall and then came home. We are going out to his sisters again for tea tonight.
Had a series of messages last night from the eldest brother of my Benalla mob. Him and his wife are in Broome and are going into Karajini and Tom Price and wondered if I was likely to be home......lol. Ended up calling him for a chat as he must have missed the 'we have retired and left town' message in his Christmas card a couple of years ago!!!! They are hoping to make it to Perth before a recently bereaved uncle leaves on an overseas trip with friends later this month. He was telling me that another of his uncles and another of his brothers with wives and caravans etc, are also out here on the road in the big paddock. Maybe we will run into some of them. That of course will depend on what pace they are travelling at versus our stop start progress towards the west. We have paid for a week in Darwin, the weather is perfect and our air conditioner is working so it matters not how hot it gets. Right now it is 31c and drops down to 22 or thereabouts overnight. Have packed the doona away and we are sleeping under a cotton sheet only. Lovely.
