THURSDAY 21 SEPTEMBER     KARRATHA

There was some morning mist. It was very light, but pleasant because it suggested coolness. Then it got hot again.

We drove to the shops for food for tea. John bought himself a new Lemmings computer game for his birthday.

More Olympic TV watching.

We were running the air-con in the van all the time, during the days, and even on into the nights. We had no near neighbours for much of the time, to disturb. Those we did have were doing the same thing, anyway. At night, when we did turn off the air-con, set up the electric bench top fan to keep air circulating. It was a relief each night, when the outside air cooled off enough for us to feel there was a bit of a breeze through the open windows.

Tea was steak and mushrooms and salad.
