These were the first slow starts we'd had in nearly two weeks. It was much needed. I was feeling pretty exhausted.

On Friday we went out for lunch with good long-term friends from Queensland who happened to be down here visiting their son. After lunch our friends dropped us at a shopping precinct, where we got a handful of items for our tiny larder and then we walked about three kilometres to "home". For much of the rest of the day we hung about the motorhome playing word games and reading. Oh, and I got a start on our April prayer letter, with the goal of having that done before we officially start our long service holidays on Monday.

Saturday was an even quieter day where we hung around “home” relaxing, with a little bit of preparation for speaking at a supporting church the next day.
We went for a walk around 5 pm down to Canberra’s lake: Burley Griffin. Then we picked up some ice cream to share over dinner with two Canberra-based families that we knew from our young adult years. It was a fun evening, enjoyable to reminisce about our lives back in the early '90s when we were all university students.
The week to come was going to be eventful, but we didn’t know that yet! I’m thankful we had these quiet days before things went a little crazy. You’ll have to wait for the sequels 😊
