SATURDAY 16 SEPTEMBER     KARRATHA

It was a hot day.

John watched the Olympic events on TV. I watched for some of the time. It was really only swimming and equestrian events that interested me, of all the sports that would feature, so there was a lot on that I really was not keen on seeing.

I cooked minestrone soup – in the electric frypan, outside. It was too hot to use the gas stove in the van.

Later in the day I went for a walk – a few laps of the caravan park. That is really about the only walking option around here!

Tea was some of the soup, cold pork, mashed potato.

R phoned and John had a chat with her.
