THURSDAY 23 NOVEMBER     WOODMAN POINT

We had to be up early because the mobile van repair man came at 9am. He found that the brakes needed an earth – that was all that was wrong! John was happy that his basic work had been ok.

I washed the bedding while they were working, and went to a nearby shopping centre for some oddments.

The carpet cleaners phoned and cleaning was arranged for 3-4pm on Friday 15th. That should work.

After lunch, we went for a walk to the beach. It was only a ten minute walk away, but we hadn’t yet managed it.

The beach was not very impressive. There was a little jetty that had lots of Asians fishing from it – catching yellow-tailed fish that looked very under-sized! There was a very big, opportunistic pelican there.

I made gazpacho, while John had an afternoon nap.

Tea was the soup, honey chicken stir fry and rice.
