Monsoonal Rains

Here are the kids with Caz on Casuarina Beach.
The rain has been coming down fairly constantly for the past three days. Terrible for drying washing but better for the humans! Although the humidity is over 80% most days the temperature is only in the high 20's - low 30's, so much nicer. The thunder and lightening is amazing and we often sit on Caz's front verandah to watch the show.
The kids needed a rest after walking thru' the park at Rapid Creek.
How do you like these beautiful dresses Caz made for us. Laura got one too. Cool and cute, and we look like twins!!
Well kids are coming up to week 6 at school. So far so good. Lots of homework but we are getting thru' it. I'm still doing lots of shifts in the orthopaedic ward, even survived 4 night shifts last week.
Craig is up this weekend (Caz's fella) so we sat up having a yak and a few drinks last night. "Cheers" to our dear friend Sam Simpson who had her 40th birthday yesterday down in Colac. Wish we could have been there, I know it would have been a blast! But good news is she will be up soon with the family and we can have a little celebration then.
Well life has settled into a very comfortable pattern here in Darwin. All going well at Caz's, although Laura had to say goodbye to both "Silly" and "Dotsy" last week which was a little sad. They were the last kitten and last puppy we had to get rid of, but never fear, in true Caz style she has ordered some fertilised eggs from the "chook man" and we might end up with some little chicks in a month or so!
