FRIDAY 1 JANUARY     TOOWOOMBA

We woke up to continuing rain, heavier than yesterday’s. It got worse through the day, too – steady, soaking rain.

I was up at 8.15 to start the new year, John at 9.45.

It was cool enough to wear windcheater and jeans – haven’t had to do that for a while!

We had a late breakfast and an early lunch.

John went off to bowls at 12.30, despite the rain. He was back by 1.30 – too wet for bowlers. He then worked on accounts and records on the computer.

I sewed, and brought my journal up to date. Had classical music, on CD, on in the background – it was very pleasant. I spent most of the afternoon inside the van because it was too damp to stay sitting outside.

Tea was toasted ham and cheese sandwiches.
