Today is Friday, Steve has a job interview at 12.30 in the city for temp agency work.  We get up and go for a walk to the beach – not that far about 800m, but it is very warm.  The girls are in their bathers but when we get to the beach the water is a murky muddy colour and very choppy with a big rip = no swimming.  

So they have a play in the park instead.

We head back to go for a swim in the Lagoon in town.  Steve spies a vacant restaurant for sale and we have a look. The only problem is the cafe next door serving exactly what we would put on the menu.  So moving right along Back home the girls go for a quick swim in the pool, some toasted sandwiches for lunch.  I get a call from the agency re temp work tomorrow night, I just need to fill in some forms can I come in today.  So I head in straight away and complete all the paperwork and pick up a shift from 6pm tonight.  Simon is heading into town so drops Steve to me and I take him to his interview and take the girls via the shop (for a black shirt and pants) to the Lagoon – OMG it is amazingly lovely and the water is only a bit cool, we all enjoy a swim.  The girls love it and swim over to the fountain.  They find a girl they played with at

the big 4 in Airlie.  Lovely.  Steve joins us after a while. Then we are all a bit cool, the weather is coming in – looks like rain.  So we head off around the lagoon – checking out the beach views, the lagoon is an amazingly large

space, this photo is taken from face book when they had a kids triathlon here recently.  The tide was in, today the tide is out as is evidenced from the mud flats that dominate my photos. 

We find a unicycle riding juggler for Steve and the girls to chat to, then a couple of cool buskers and then we are really going.  Back home for a shower and change

Then it is off to Palm Cove.

The Reef House restaurant is a lovely restaurant.  The food looks amazing, the staff are very lovely and I enjoyed my 3 hours.  Not that busy, just a team leader so a slightly disorganised service.  But still lots of fun.

Then the drive home, am so hot in my only black shoes – my knee high boots – need new shoes tomorrow so I can be a bit cooler – literally.

Back home and Steve and Simon had taken Charlotte, Lily and Astrid to the local bowling club for dinner – a lovely night had by all.

Simon is just heading to bed, he set up Elementary (that he taped last Sunday) for me and Steve gets a call from Matt so I get to enjoy my show in peace.  Then to bed to dream.
