Well it's now Easter - We did little on the 18th and 19th as Peg recovered. We decided to take a few days away over Easter and booked an apartment in Fremantle. I went for a bike ride to view the local area and in the evening we all had dinner as the 20th was Cat's 17th birthday . In Aus most places remark that they are open 363 days a year. The two closure dates being Christmas Day and Good Friday. Everything closes up. Greg and I did a wander around the harbo...

Not much to report with Peg being ill. We have visited the doctor's twice - very easy and quick - seen at the appointment time and appointment given within half an hour of telephone call.

The good thing about cancelling our trip to Rottnest...

However as a result of the shopping expedition James and Cat are now the owners of mobile phones. Greg and I walked down to the local harbour Saturday afternoon to view some new properties being built.The process is here that they sell you the land and you employ an ar...

On the Thursday the weather was very windy with very occasional spots of rain. We spent the morning in Margaret River Town doing some retail therapy- I ended up with 9 bags. I sought a coffee at one stage but was soon pressured back into service. Rather than hang around the rest of the day we decided after a snack lunch to drive back to Mindarie (Greg and Liz's house which is about 25 kilometres north of Perth centre but still in its suburbs!). Perth is a vast h...
