Hello all, It has seemed like another busy week, we are both working hard to bring in the pennies, although on Monday and Tuesday it would have been nicer to be somewhere else than in the office for the 38oC heat we had!! Friday I spent grouting the tiles we had helped put up on Thursday whilst Sarah and Caroline went to a girls night in at one of Caroline's friends to raise money for cancer research - it was nice to have the house to myself for some peace and ...

We left Irene and Goff's on Sunday with Caroline and drove the 200km to Melbourne, where we are going to be staying with Caroline and her children Sarah, Laura and Ryan in their home in the suburb of Watsonia. On the journey we had a bit of a guided tour to see where the family used to farm when the first moved to the Victoria area.
