Return of Max

We last hosted grand-son Max early this month in our rented apartment in Darwin. Now he's back on home territory having flown up from Canberra for two weeks. Dot and I are looking after him while Rebecca attends two residential schools at UNE as part of her Master of Resource Management degree. While she is off to intensive full-time study and I am still working 2/3rds time with a string of prior commitments, Dot is holding the fort for an incredibly lively 4.8 year old.



At least this time around he's being helpful as he does quite a bit of gardening, especially sweeping up all the falling Autumnal leaves. However, he's also terrifying the two cats, catching wild-life (mostly insectiverous), and generally rearranging an ordered household. We'll probably be physical wrecks by the end of the visit!
