MONDAY MAY 10     COFFIN BAY

It was an overcast day, with some rain.

After a leisurely start to the day, we drove to Port Lincoln. At the Information Centre, we bought an 8 week Parks Pass, for $27. M did the same.

We did a little shopping while there. M actually managed to buy some mouse traps and I could see an evil gleam in her eyes.

I had been feeling increasingly unwell over the past couple of days and was now starting to think I might be developing a urinary tract infection. It was decades since I’d had anything like that, and so I wasn’t really sure. I tried to buy some barley water at a health food shop, but they had nothing like that, so I bought barley at Safeway and made my own, back at camp.

Had a Subway lunch in Port Lincoln, before driving back to camp. Subway seemed to have replaced KFC as John’s travelling lunch of choice. I think he thought it was healthier.

We lazed about for the rest of the day. I was feeling very tired – always an ominous sign for me of something being amiss.

Tea was open hamburgers – for all of us. I made special meat patties and served them on a half roll, with all the usual hamburger additions and extra salad. They were very yummy – but huge.
