TUESDAY 26 JANUARY      STANTHORPE

Today, it is a year since John’s official resignation from the Education Department. He slept till about 10am. So good not to have to get up early, and to alarms!

After a late breakfast, we went to practice bowls. This dragged on much longer than I wanted, until 2pm, by which time it was too late for a proper lunch, or to do anything much with the rest of the day. My plan had been to go back to Girraween or Bald Rock, for a walk!

John watched cricket on TV.

I went for a walk around the streets.

Tea was soup, omelette with ham, cheese and onion.
