It was market day today. The baby bird came down too. Varsha and Laxmi bought slice from Mrs Carruthers and were given lucky dips by Murgatroyd and crochet toys by Margaret.

Laxmi went to Mareeba with John and Grandpa for building supplies. When she got back we walked down to Louarna’s for milk and had icecream. We picked frangipanis on the way and stopped under the shady tree in the median strip and took some photos.

Grandma and Aunty Ruth and Laxmi and I went for a swim in the dam.

Varsha went with Thiango and Cosmo and Cat and Will to visit Linda at Wonga Beach and had a swim at the Ramada. They made friends with a cute little girl.
