20.7.2015

well Darryl's Dental work turned out to be a MAJOR problem with a split tooth and a large abscess :C
He had that removed but now needs more work in two weeks to put a bridge in where the tooth has been  removed.  He is on antibiotics for 2 weeks.

My brother Peter arrived from Bundaberg late on Saturday night and spent all of Sunday with us.
He left at 4am this morning to go to a job out at Tamborine where he will stay for the week.  We hope he will be here again this coming Saturday.

I went to a weaving day at Cleveland - Redlands Performing Arts Centre - on Saturday and it was a great day.  There were a total of 9 ladies from the Jajari Jimbaljin group present.
 waiting to learn 'coiling' weave

There were about 30 women and children there on Saturday and the five hours just FLEW past.
Hoping to get across to Nth Stradbroke Island on Saturday for the 'Whale Festival' where they are going to have more weaving demo's.

This Thursday the ladies from Jajari Jimbaljin will be doing a trip to North Stradbroke to meet up with the Maroomba Milbool (all coming together) ladies group and hoping to be shown how to use natural products for weaving.

Our trip south has been delayed by a couple of weeks BUT we will get to Taree to check on Darryl's brother soon.

Keep safe all
