FRIDAY 19 FEBRUARY     WOOLGOOLGA

The day was warm, but there was a considerable amount of cloud about.

Late morning, I walked over to the shops, where I’d made an appointment to have a haircut. I was pleased with the result, but it cost $25! Whilst over there, I posted a birthday card for R. Also had our scripts filled at the chemist – cost $40. Staying healthy can be expensive!

We went bowling in the afternoon. It was extremely windy, so hard to play well. John did not play well at all. My game was only average. No more to be said!

During the afternoon, my yellow sapphire ring, from Rubyvale, broke in two places. I think they were where the band had been enlarged. After bowls, John phoned J at Rubyvale, and she said she will get it repaired, if we send it up to her. I should think so!

A huge rig has arrived in the caravan park and is the subject of much curiosity and talk amongst us. It has certainly led to a rise in the number of strollers around the park! It is an American style, a long, long, van, articulated onto a large American vehicle. It has obviously been imported, as the door and awning are on the “wrong” side. It must be an enormous thing to tow and I suspect would not be great on some of our roads. It seems obscenely big, and occupies more than one site. There is gossip that it was used in the USA by the wife of the film actor, Danny de Vito – on location.

Tea: soup, scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and mango.

We watched some TV after tea, and had a reasonably early night.
