I was sure I wrote back a couple of days ago... Nevermind.

It's been a great weekend for us in Darwin. My little guy had his very first birthday on Wednesday, so in addition to a lunch with daddy at work, and a play date (more for big sister!) at one of those indoor playgrounds with the ball pits etc, we also had a small morning tea at a local oval/green park. I'd given my husband an amateur rocket for our anniversary and we had our first launch yesterday. How wonderful! I'd really recommend these Estes rockets (we got ours from a hobby shop in WA). We had a count-up (other kids couldn't count backwards) and blast off; the rocket shot up around 150m. VERY high! The wind caught it and it ended up landing about 380m away. I am still excited by it.

It was dry yesterday morning, but it has continued to be a wet and rainy monsoonal week up here. Wish I could share this wet weather with you southerners.

Anyway, I'll continue to come back to post if others are interested; I don't use the other forums here.

Cheers,
Ruby
