Visitors

0520 this morning saw me parking at Darwin airport expecting to hang around for a while waiting for Aunty Jo to arrive. Instead 0536 saw me driving out of the car park as Jo had got through customs and was out virtually before I had sat down!
Needless to say none of the children were asleep when we got home.
But the big news (sorry Jo) is not the arrival of visitor from the UK but the arrival of rain - and what a storm with over an inch of rain in a couple of hours..

 
With Jo needing some sleep Tish and I took the children out to Casuarina Beach to go shell hunting, we forced the children to wear their raincoats but decided not to ourselves which was probably a mistake - but as it was too wet to take a camera let alone the new to us camera that we have just bought from Jo there are no embarrassing pictures to us slightly soaked.
In the afternoon we went to Rapid Creek to look for the Frogmouth but disaster it was not there - hopefully it will be back before Jo goes but we did check the trees around it and could not find it.
We then walked down to a small park on the way to my Barking Owl site

Luckily the Owls were more obliging...

Tomorrow we have some domestic chores to do relating to our forth coming move and then Jo and i will take the children back onto the beach whilst Tish gets some sleep before her next two night shifts - which are her LAST shifts in Darwin!!!!
