Tonight should bring us our first Category 1 tropical cyclone, Cyclone Helen.  Reports so far say we should only get a big wind storm, not the destructive 100k/hr winds further south will get.  But you can only guess what the weather is going to do.  So far today it was heading east, then a few hours later, heading west, and now it is heading north east towards us but predicted to stay south of Darwin and deteriorate over land.  If there is no blog by the end of the weekend, you will know the reports where wrong. 

We have prepared ourselves, torches on the ready, fresh batteries for the radio, if it was outside, it came in, if it doesn’t fit inside, then it’s tied down.  The good thing about living in a new suburb, you can see how the houses are built.  Its going to take a lot to knock these suckers down.  Positive thoughts people, positive thoughts.

We have finally done it. After months of trying to find the best car that suits our needs and budget, we have decided on the Hyundai Santa Fe Elite, and one will be ours as soon as Wednesday afternoon.  The snappy little economic seven seater diesel will fit us in quite nicely and will be ours before baby number 3 arrives.  Unless something happens in the next four days that is.  Fingers crossed.  I should be able to make it another three and a half weeks. 

This is the photos of our first Christmas Day in Darwin. We had a Roast Lamb and Turkey Roll as well as the usual veggies. We also had Prawns and Bugs.

This is Terry’s new BBQ he cooked the entire Christmas Lunch in it.
