SUNDAY 8 OCTOBER     KARRATHA

Today was a bit less hot, but turned into another lazy day.

John played computer games. I sewed, and read.

The Chescold fridge died – stopped working at all. It would appear to be the electric element that has gone kaput. It has been such a great work horse here, sitting outside the van, keeping the drinks cold in this relentless heat.

Tea was roast chicken and the usual vegetables.

Had a lovely long phone call from John’s cousin M, who was interested to hear of the progress of our travels, since we’d last seen him.
