SATURDAY 21 FEBRUARY      HEALESVILLE

I drove to the shopping centre to get the Saturday Age. Bought some groceries, wine and lunch rolls too.

The only drawback of this caravan park is that it is too far from the town to walk, on a regular basis, especially if it is at all hot, and there is shopping to carry.

Read the paper.

John went off to bowls, taking Truck.

Now that we are back in Melbourne, I could not put off any longer a chore that has been hanging over my head since before Xmas. About a dozen of my former staff asked me to write references for them, for future use. This is akin to writing student reports, and not fun! Spent the afternoon writing, and got them all drafted. Will give the hand written versions to P, who will take them to work and type and print them up for me on the school’s letterhead. I do feel better for not still having all that to do.

Tea was mince chow mein again, at John’s request.

John enjoyed the afternoon of competition bowls at our club. He filled in for an unavailable player, and so played a “proper” game.

The environment at this park is so pleasant, with lots of birds around.
