FRIDAY 1 MAY     TORQUAY

And the months roll by! I do love this travelling, making it up as we go, lifestyle.There is such a feeling of liberation to wake in the morning knowing that there are no deadlines.

Rain set in during the night and it poured all day. The forecast for what is the Labor Day weekend here is not good – more rain and south easterly winds.

We spent most of the day in the van, doing things on computers, catching up on letters. Fed the ducks that roam the caravan park all our stale bread.

Our lunch included leftover cold patties from last night – they were good cold, too.

In the later afternoon, went to Hervey Bay PO to post letters. John collected a big envelope of material about “his” school, sent by the new Principal. I mailed a huge printout of our doings to K, and kept a second copy for my records. We bought a packet of copy paper for the computer printer – seem to be getting through it quite quickly!

Fish and chip day. John had some very nice, small whiting in his order. I had calamari – far too greasy.
