12^th September: Perth

The group divided on gender lines today. Glen and Murray went to a car museum and we ladies went into the city to go shopping. The men seemed to enjoy themselves while we had a good time as well, of course. There were lots of specials on and I bought a long sleeve purple shirt and a matching jumper for $27.00 which was a bargain (Myers) The others tried on lots and bought a few as well although not necessarily as cheaply as I did.

I came home early as we were going out that night to Anne's. Gail and Lorraine went to the Perth Mint to watch a pour which I had seen on a previous occasion. We had a lovely time with Anne and Gavin. Kara says she remembers me but perhaps not as that was 4 years ago. But I.ve always found Anne easy to talk to and we shared stories of the children. She teaches 3 days a week in a support unit and was keen to know about Hannah. (When I seee her on Sunday, I must tell her that Hannah rode a bike down a set of stairs at a party today ( it's Saturday), something I did at Butcher's Creek at 5 too!)

We had a lovely meal and lots of chat. I felt a bit naughty coming home to the caravan park at 11.30 pm! It was in darkness!
