Darwin is a small, neat city

where nothing much appears to happen. It comes to life at 10 and goes to sleep at 4. But my sister bought a dress she has been looking for since 9th January - a simple white linen shift dress.

I bought a dress I have not been looking for - a stripey little  Italian affair, linen, sleeveless.

There was a divine shoe shop but I  already have far too many shoes I love and hardly ever wear. 

But Darwin has Coles.
