G’day once again Mum and Dad,
How are you both after your trip to Kal? We hope you enjoyed it.
Did you see some interesting sites? How did the local bus route and service compare with Darwin’s? Isn’t it around this time of the year that Kal has the racing round?
We are well, although we both feel that the cancellation of our Tassie holiday has … Read the rest ... “The Darwin Letters No. 9”

A note before Tren starts: There is about a 4 and a half month break between the following letter and the previous one. I suspect that there wasn’t one written in that time. That period includes a lot of “The Dry” when we were way more active, but during this period my parents visited and Trenna’s sister Barb visited. Our friends Lorraine and Neil also arrived to live in Darwin, Lorraine … Read the rest ... “The Darwin Letters No.8”

G’day (hopefully) Mum and Dad,
We hope you are both well. We’re pretty good, and we’re looking forward to your visit.

Our computer is trying my patience just a tad. I think … Read the rest ... “The Darwin Letters No. 7”

” HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM! “
G’day again Mum and Dad.
We enjoyed our chat with you both on Saturday. Hope you’re still going good.
But rest assured, I won’t let the mundane get in the way of me telling a story or two
We’re both slowly recovering from this wretched flu virus. We thought we might be able to get out and … Read the rest ... “The Darwin Letters No. 6”

G’day Mum and Dad,
Sorry we missed you on Sunday, Mum. How did you and Deb do at the Markets? Is this the first time you have sold stuff there? I can’t remember if we ever did get around to going to the Cannington Markets, I know we had intended to. How do they compare with other markets?
Greg’s going very … Read the rest ... “The Darwin Letters No. 5”
In 1990-91 Trenna and I employed builders to do our first home renovation. Trenna had recently resigned from her job at the Hospital Benefit Fund (HBF) and therefore had the time to keep a record of what tradesmen came when.
I believe I’ve still got that record, but that will be the subject of a totally different post.
The reason I … Read the rest ... “Introducing the Menu Diaries”
