Today we went to the cathedral for mass, had a family lunch and did our weekly shopping.

The weather has been a beautiful 33 degrees most days with 60-98% humidity.

In the afternoon we did some arts and crafts. We made birthday party hats for Madeline’s 3rd birthday this week.

We attended the Royal Darwin Show today.

Madeline really enjoyed the rides. Particularly the dodgem cars.

Daddy and Madeline went shopping. They also spent lots of time playing and doing art.

We went to the information centre today to have a look at some information about town and the surrounds.

After lunch we took a quick stroll along the Esplanade, but the bearing down sun made it a quick one.

In the afternoon we went swimming. Madeline doesn’t go anywhere without her Bluey bag now.

Next week

Eva starts work as a locum and Madeline starts swimming lessons.
