TUESDAY 9 MARCH TATHRA
Today was moderately warm, with beautiful blue skies.
John worked all day on letters to various people, after quite a sleep in.
I drove to the top shops to get the paper. I should have walked, for the exercise, but the path up the incline is SO steep! One must really be in the mood.
I read papers that had accumulated over the past couple of days. Sewed. I had a cooking session after lunch, making a batch of soup – spicy tomato, using barley instead of the rice called for in the recipe. Also cooked some brown rice and smoked cod, both to cool for later.
About 5pm we went for a beach walk. It got to be shorter than intended, as John decided to stop and watch the Surf Life Saving Club Junior training. All these young kids were learning to battle the waves, swim in surf and the like. It wasn’t easy for them, but character building, I should think.

Tea was the soup, which John loved – anything with barley in! Salad of brown rice and smoked fish. Rock melon.
There was nothing decent on TV, so I sewed and John played with some demo games discs that had accumulated from the PC Gamer magazine that he gets each month.
