WEDNESDAY 18 MARCH     QUEANBEYAN

A fairly warm day today.

We had an early lunch before John went to bowls. He enjoyed himself and won $10.

I walked down to the shopping centre and back. Put in a film for processing and picked up the photos after 90 minutes. I do have to ration my photo taking more than I really like, because of the cost. Browsed in shops and bought a few groceries – bearing in mind that I had to carry things back uphill. Mailed some postcards we had written over the past few days.

Spent the rest of the afternoon doing Hardanger embroidery. I am really making good progress at learning this, I think. It is a really engrossing way to fill in time.

Tea was mince chow mien and rice.

John phoned K and they have arranged that John will stay in one of the city hotels of the chain where K is marketing manager. We think (hope?) that may be at a discount rate, or maybe even free.
