Q

    which I had made plain blue on        of her clothing … Simply the
Q   one side with blue kittens and grey   blankets … etc. There were no
    balls of wool on a white background   bloodstains on the blankets??
    on the other side edged in blue       This suggests there were four
    satin ribbon wrapped next to the      layers of blankets … later she
    clothing. Then a pent house blanket   says there were six
    mulberry one side and a bright         The baby must have been
    pink the other edged in matching      wrapped in this way when the
    mulberry satin ribbon doubled         man from Tasmania saw her
    around her with a slightly smaller
    matching blanket on the side the
    wind was coming from.

    She went to sleep in my arms while    Michael = cooking ++
    Michael and Aiden were finishing
    cooking and eating their tea.

    There was another young couple        Husband = talking to woman –
    from Tasmania with an eighteen
    month old daughter cooking tea on
    the other side. I sat on the railing
    and talked to the husband while
    my husband and his wife joined in

    or while they were working. He was
    drinking a stubby no wrong it was a
    can in a stubby cooler.

    What is a pent house blanket.

    Its the brand of a double thickness
    blanket which takes the place of
    two ordinary blankets and may be
    used in place of a bed spread, I had
    bought a queen size bed one and
    cut it down to make the smaller ones
    myself.

    Do you know the names of the
    couple you were speaking to at the
    barbecue area?
