The Hobart Times

Three days in Hobart made this week very busy. We learnt a lot by visiting Clarence High School (in Bellerive Oval territory) on Wednesday and Rosetta High School (about 11km north of Hobart CBD on the Derwent River) on Thursday and Friday. It was very cold even by Hobart standards, with lots of snow on Mt Wellington - an amazing sight for us because it is so close to the coast. By cutting back on our sleep we made time to try some great restaurants and enjoy the cafes and pubs along Salamanca Place. I found this wonderful hand dyed beanie for Ella in one of the craft shops there.

Ella was awake when we visited Sunday morning for our walk with Nellie the beagle. She is sleeping very well at night and looks much more alert and stronger in her movements every time we see her now! She was one month old on 21 June and 5 weeks old tomorrow.

We are in the depths of winter here in Canberra. Heavy frosts have turned the last Camellia Sasanqua flowers all mushy. But after the frosts the days are clear and beautiful.

Davey finished work last week and leaves for OS Wednesday. Good luck Davey!
