WEDNESDAY 6 JANUARY     TOOWOOMBA

John decided he wanted to play bowls this afternoon. He had some trouble finding a game, but eventually got in at the Toowoomba Club.

While he drove around, visiting clubs, I shopped for food for tea.

Then I had a swim before lunch, after which John went off to bowls.

T arrived about 2.15. There was much “school” talk, bringing me up to date with last year. We walked up to the Japanese Gardens and around those. It was a pleasant day to do so.

John was back from bowls when we returned from our walk. The men talked technology and the like, while I prepared tea – steak, potatoes in foil, mushrooms, salad, bread, followed by fruit and cheese.

T left about 9.30pm, to go stay with a local cousin.

It was a most enjoyable afternoon and evening and a break in this fairly monotonous time here.
