THURSDAY 9 APRIL     TEWANTIN

Another humid day.

I did a load of washing – $2.

We had a hair cutting session. I used the clippers on John’s hair, which I am used to cutting. As an economy measure, decided he could cut mine and we’d see what the result was like. The ultra short cut I had before we departed in January, is finally too shaggy to bear!  He used scissors and did a good job. I was quite pleased.

After lunch, we drove to the shops at Noosaville. I put film in for processing, then  stocked up with food for the next four days. It is Easter and I do not know yet what shop rules apply in these parts. John bought a box of beer. The place was frantically busy, so I guess that is a guide, if everyone is stocking up. I bought a kilo of prawns that were on special in Franklins.

After putting away the shopping, and getting in the washing, we rode the bikes back to Noosaville to pick up my photos. It was a pleasant ride, but we left it a little late – and it was dark by the time we got back. But there is a cycle path most of the way, so that was ok. Night seems to fall really quickly up here – there is not much dusk. Rode 14kms on the bikes.

I was pleased with the photos.

Tea was steak, mushrooms and salad.

John had a blood nose that lasted a while, possibly due to the heat.  Guess the aspirin thins his blood somewhat.

I have bought some Berocca to start taking, because I heard somewhere that Vitamin B deters biteys.

After tea, peeled the prawns. It took two hours! Fiddly little things. They were not such a great special, after all.
