FRIDAY 22 MAY     AIRLIE BEACH

John bowled all day in the Masters Triples Tournament here.

I did the washing and cleaned the van inside. Then read and sewed.

I walked to the Bowls Club with his lunch and ended up sitting in Truck for an hour, waiting for him to come and get it. It was very hot. His morning went well – won both games. He was really thrilled at that stage, by how well he was playing.

I took Truck and went and did a grocery shop, for a week. I had to get an “advance” on next week’s housekeeping – it has been a costly couple of weeks.

I drove and collected John from bowls at 5pm.  He was even more thrilled, because he’d won the Silver Medal! I took photos and we hung the medal in the van. He has paid for a photo of the team that was taken at the club and must ring the man involved in a couple of weeks about sending it on.

John wants to stay here an extra day – he is not ready to come down to earth yet and do the packing up. So I went to the Office and extended our booking. Was fairly confident it would be alright, as there are quite a few vacant sites here, at any one time.

Tea was bought fish and chips.

Sometime today, somehow,  I have gotten more sandfly bites!
