Friday 4th April.

Today was Robyn's last day of school for 6 months. She is happy about that (this has been an understatement).

I started fixing up a garden bed; the sides had been falling off. Four off, 900mm lengths of 40mm box section steel were cut from an eight metre length. These will be driven into the ground to act as supports to keep the sides in the right place, and vertical.

In the evening, Jim, Nikita, Keith and Louie, came over to our house for dinner. Mark and Belinda came a little later. Later still, Belinda went into town and brought Ryan back to our place as well. We all ate Mexican food, drank various things, and had a good time. The boys watched Parramatta beat the Broncos in the Rugby League. The girls talked about something !

The Hayes family are leaving in the morning. Ryan is going as far as Rockhampton, and will go on to Armidale in a few weeks. He hopes to find work there. Mark and Belinda are going to Gladstone to help Perri move into a flat. They are taking a trailer full of furniture to her as well.
