TUESDAY 27 OCTOBER     ATHERTON

Today was the hottest since we have been here.

We had a lazy day – computing, sewing, reading, but did venture out to the shops for a paper and to buy a few groceries.

In the later afternoon, I had a swim. The pool is as lovely as it looks, and I had it all to myself.

Given that Truck goes to Cairns on Friday, and there is still a lot of sightseeing to do around this area, we have extended our stay here for another week.

I made vicchysoisse – fancied a chilled soup – to be followed by fried rice, for tea.
