SUNDAY 9 APRIL     MT ISA

Although the skies were grey and threatening, there was no rain today. But it was hot and humid.

We had a quiet morning. There were no shops open, of course.

John went out to suss out the bowls scene, and came back having booked us in to play social bowls in the afternoon, so an early lunch was needed.

The bowls were on grass rinks, which were really water logged and heavy. It was not fun. Just hot and sweaty and hard work.

I really had not wanted to play, because my sore heel was getting better and I did not want to stir it up again, but John was insistent.
