A lovely late lunch, and I think Clouds must be in the middle of a growth spurt - I've never her eat so much in my life! Then the girls (very excited) went into Lu's hair salon, for their much-awaited haircuts. Lots of discussion and magazine reference. Pops went first, emerging about an hour later looking like a brunette version of Shirley Temple. Then Clouds, who came out looking another 3 years older!
Lu's daughter Millie (whom we met in Melbourne about 18 months ago), arrived and the girls rifled through two huge bags of clothes she no longer wanted - Ava finding a leopard skin print coat, and Clouds a fantastic navy Mambo coat. Millie's boyfriend, Lindon, arrived and they took the girls, in their new coats, for a spin in Millie's new Mini convertible down the road to Banbury Cross (to see a fine lady upon a white horse....)
Lu's son Marcus, who plays in several bands locally (as drummer, singer and guitarist), was also home with his friend Clem, getting ready for a gig tonight in Banbury Cross, which we all went off to see at around 9:00pm, with the girls set up for a movie night at home with Lu's cat (Wobbygong) and dog (Eddie), and with Rog babysitting. Very late night. Lazy day tomorrow.

I can't believe how many great people you've met on this most wonderful journey. No doubt you girls will have some tales to tell when you get home. I can't wait!
