I spent most of this week at Robyn's house helping her to clean and sort out all of her stuff. We were able to get her 'art room' all cleared out (put everything in boxes), cleaned it and had the missionaries move the furniture around. We spent many hours going through all of her stuff before we put things back in the art room. Robyn came over for dinner tonight and said that she has gone through the last of her stuff and put it into the art room. She is so excited to be getting things sorted out in her 'art room' - I think it's going to be a great place for her to heal. Dad came over to Robyn's for a couple of days this week to do some handyman work and also some computer work for her.

Robyn and I got out for a swim on Monday after working so hard and sweating so much. It's been so humid and it was lovely to be able to run into the water and chat while we paddled around. The temperature was so high that the water was so warm - it felt like bath water.
On Wednesday, I met up with my teacher friend, Bronwyn, for a lovely long chat at the 'Coffee Club' - which of course meant HAVING to have an iced chocolate. :-) It was great catching up with Bronwyn and we also met up with Jan, who used to be a vice principal at Kawungan.
Yesterday, Dad and I picked up lunch at 'Subway', ate it by the beach and took a walk along the beach. The water was so nice and warm, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing - lovely! Later that afternoon, I took Dad to the airport for the first leg of his journey to New Zealand. He flew to Brisbane and stayed overnight at an airport hotel. This morning, he flew to Auckland, NZ along with the IT guy from QAC. Dad will be there until Friday when he will fly back to Brisbane. I will meet him there and then we will fly to Sydney where he will be teaching for four weeks. I am looking forward to catching up with my cousins in Sydney and doing some family history with them.
