New routines

At home my morning ritual is done without thought, I reach and the teabags are there, I don’t need bucks to put the washing machine on etc.

Here each day needs brain cells, which, so soon after waking up, is tricky 😵‍💫.

Anyway, gradually a new morning routine is forming. Today felt the easiest yet, so maybe I’ve found my groove!

Yesterday, on the way back to our site, we stopped near a beach and had a brew. As well as an electric kettle we have a whistling one for the gas hob, which we can utilise when we’re not hooked up to the camp electrics. It’s unbelievably satisfying to be able to stop and make a cuppa ‘in the bush’.

We need to go to Coles or Woolworths (=Tesco) every 2-3 days. We need discipline as we’re unlikely to use up some foods (herbs) before we fly off to NZ, but inevitably our eyes get drawn to things (noodles) which then (annoyingly) sit in the cupboard unused. I guess at home every thing gets eaten eventually and it’s hard to get out of that buying habit 😬

So we need to check out at 10am, but it’s lovely to take a few mins sitting in a bright sunny camper having our brekkie, wondering what today will bring 😊Read more
