WEDNESDAY 9 DECEMBER     LAKE MARABOON

In the morning, we drove into Emerald to go to bowls. They play in the mornings, when it is a bit cooler.

I was fairly pleased with my game. John was in a team with a young, novice, boy and didn’t have a great time.

We did a little shopping. Went to the Information Centre, looking for any extra material on the sapphire fields. Also for information on parts south. After being in this area for a few days, we think it will be too hot to stay here over Xmas.

Mailed the Xmas cards, and most presents – cost $60 for packing and postage.

For the rest of the afternoon, I worked on the vest.

John had a toothache and slept for a while. He has had several very late computer game nights, lately!

John had leftover steak and kidney for tea, I had some salad.
