! ! !  ...  its been a big busy week ...

and its monday again already....

LAST monday was crazy fun with the power out at midnight and not back on until midday .. the morning was spent at work milling around lamenting about not having coffee and computers and no daycare for iggy.  Town was on though so sailor returned to school...

 and the airport was running so margot and michael returned to melbourne after a week of rain .. still insisting they didn't mind ...

We have had a polish melbourne couple visiting this week who are excellent - On monday they turned up to a dark quiet arts centre to work.  Andre, who is a bark expert, built a large fire pit outside and with the boys burnt bark to de-curl it and, since the sun was shining, climbed onto the roof to lay out the mouldy barks to dry. We  made coffee on the bbq and it was like school camp or something. His wife is a great lady too who spent her morning convincing me to get the puppy that turned up in midst of it all ...

she is very persuasive as you can see ...

We also got a visit from the rangers who had just caught a four metre crocodile.  In the town lagoon. Across the road from sailor's school. All tied up and so huge ....  shiver

iggy looks unimpressed

kade's nandi (yolngu mother) telling me to wait - i was off chasing the puppy as she looked after iggy
