Varsha and Laxmi dressed up for my birthday! We went down to the Junction cafe in Mossman for breakfast. We went to the markets afterwards and bought a huge bunch of heliconia and ginger flowers.

It was hot. We stopped for a swim on the way home. It was lovely. It rained when we got home. Laxmi fell asleep in the car and we had a quiet afternoon.

In the evening John made barbequed fish in turmeric leaves and corn on the cob. We had sweet potato and Kang Kung out of the garden. It was delicious! Cat and Will and Thiango and Cosmo came over for a feast on the front verandah.
