We were all up in time to go to Mass at St Patrick’s;
while people got ready, I ducked around to Macca’s to get some disgusting
breakfast because we needed to have some sort of food. It’s Holy Family Sunday
and the scripture readings were particularly beautiful, especially so many of
our family there. Ruth and Rich were introduced to Pak ‘N Save and the
Warehouse to pick up a few things they needed and to stock our fridges in the
motel (each unit has kitchen facilities, so we could do our own breakfast from
now on).
Lunch was at Jen’s place; the weather had been cool and
rainy, needing warmer clothes than the Aussies had packed but some time after
lunch the sun returned. Peter, Rich, Alison and Simon went to Mulligan’s to
play poker and the rest of us went for a walk along the lake, then into the
park where the kids enjoyed the activities.
We all grabbed our swimmers and
went to the AC Baths for a warm swim, where Peter joined us, but unfortunately
they’ve made some changes there, removing some of the shelter over the pool.
When it started to rain, it was quite cold, with a cold wind blowing when we
had to get out. The swim was lovely but the showers, change rooms and
facilities were pretty crummy.
The card players had walked home in the pouring rain by
the time we got home. Rich shared first prize at poker, only about $90 but
better than nothing! Dinner was very late – Glen had been cooking while we were
out and we shared a good meal: well done to the chef feeding eighteen of us!!
