More school
So Laura started school today and so all the girls are back into the routine! She had a good day and Caroline and Rebecca are also settling in and making friends. L&C's school have a sports afternoon on Wednesday's with a choice of different activities, so Laura went and played tennis and Caroline had a go at surfing at the Long Reef beach. They don't get much tuition but it's a great way to give these things a go, or improve skills with friends.

Sue and I had an empty house to come back to after dropping the girls off at school, so I got down to some work and Sue did some chores around the house before an old friend of Angela's - Shirley - came for lunch at midday. We had also all been for lunch on Sunday at some other friends of Angela's - Ann and Ted - and it was good to meet them all and to thank them for the advance information they'd provided to us before we came over here.
