Wet weekend
This weekend was a bit of a washout, with Saturday being the worst day with heavy rain, thunder and lightning. This followed a very warm day on Friday which saw us sitting outside in the evening at the Newport Arms Hotel, a big family pub overlooking Pittwater to the north of Sydney, but overnight the heat disappeared and the rain arrived.

Rebecca had a party in the afternoon in the open at Manly Dam, but the heavens opened as we drove there and the parents of her friend decided to postpone the party as there was little they could have done outside! Caroline was out all weekend and Laura went out for the evening, having spent the morning job hunting at the local shopping centre, which may prove sucessful as she's been invited back for a trial on Monday after school at a very nice patisserie.

Rebecca had 4 friends around this afternoon to practice a dance routine for a talent show, so we hid downstairs! Watched some of the Ashes enviously from Adelaide where the sun was shining!
