Two weeks
So now that i have been here for going on nearing three weeks, the weeks and days so far have just been great
My two days of the first aid course on 3 and 4th of september went pretty will, so i am w certified first aider, although the person that as taking the course wasnt that great.
After i completed the first aid course on the thursday, with Esmee and Jonathan to the Mindall Bay markets, which are pretty cool with stalls, not just food ones as well, we walked around the them for a while and got some food as well, some chinese honey chicken, while we watched the sunset go down on the beach for a while, pretty much everyone at the markets were on the beach watching the sunset..
Had some fruit as well as a crepé with mixed berries and maple and served with cream it was just yummy :).
On the weekend i went along to Jonathan's swimming lesson, which was fun , and then we went and had breakfast at a place called finlays which also had pretty neat garden there that we walked around after breakfast, i had American Pancakes from there with a Cappicino,
Over the last few days i have been doing some study, to keep at the top of it,
On the wednesday i went into the city, to the Darwin waterfront to meet up with another Au Pair for lunch which was pretty cool, before we meet up i went to check out the WWII oil tunnels which were just awesome :), although it does get stuffy inside them,
At lunch with the other Au Pair Georgina we went to il lido, this time i had a steak, cheese and carmelised onion panini which was good but also very filling, afterwards we walked along the waterfront a little bit,and also chatted and then walked into the city and sat in the mall for a bit, got to catc the bus on the way back.
On the thursday was my first official day of looking Jonathan on my own which was good, we went for a trip to the park for a wee bit, and played with bubbles, there was also a big power cut around Darwin as well, that carried on durimg the night, for friday, i just had to take Jonathan to day care, then as i was sitting down and doing some study, Katie the cat came back to the house, and had to take her to the vet because she had been atracked by a dog and had a nasty wound on her back .
Today i will be writing in my other blog and watching Jonathan for the afternoon

A week
So my first week of being in the lovely city of Darwin has gone just great it has been hot around 32 degrees but has not been to unbearable.
Havent been doing too much just slowly gettimg to know the routine and gettimg used amd havimg "Little Bug" gettimg used to me which is goimg pretty good, i have being getting a lot of cuddles from him, and enjoying playing lots of games and having fun with touchable bubbles outside which just sat on the lawn or in the trees for ages which was pretty funny .
I even had a go and babysiting him for a night whilst E &S went out for a date night, that was quite alright since "Little Bug" was put down to bed before they had left so i had to just listen out for him, he only woke uo once and so i settled him down and put him down to sleep again which went alright
Watched the new Doctor Who that night as well.
Even had a look around the area that i live in that has a lovely wee walk to go on.
Yesterday went on a wee trip into town with E and we went to an area first called Cullen Bay and then went to an area called East point which was pretty interesting had a lot of interesting WWII fortifications in the area bonus in my book :), then we went out to where a big gun turret is, awesome :) :), and afterwards we stopped at Fannie Bay Coolspot and had an iced chocolate with a blueberry chessecake and then went to pick up "Little Bug" from daycare.
Today i spent the day running through "Little Bug" s routine from giving him breakfast, bottles, putting him to bed at separate times in the day, spending time playing with him, making lunch and dinner for him and also bath time this was to just get us both used to each other while doing the routine as well, which just went great :)
Over next couple of days i will be doing my first aid course :)
