Second Night Timaru

Two weeks today since I left home. Seems much longer.
Didn't wake till 8 and when I pulled back the shades put up the blinds looked like no one else was up so it was off to the shower. Lovely shower for $2. No waiting. I have a shower in the camper but it isn't like a real shower.
Then the normal and thought I would be away early but it was after 10.
Off to the museum - guess what - not open on Mondays.
Popped into the library to look up a couple of people on the electoral rolls.
Then the Warehouse too get a few bits and pieces and then it was time to watch yet another funeral. Dear Roy the 102 year I interviewed a couple of years ago about his army life. Lovely tribute to him.
Then it was off to see Glenn another ex Air Force friend. Glenn was saying he is 78. A few health issues but he is doing okay.
The bins were full at Waimate so Glenn happily allowed me to put my small bag of rubbish in his bin. Gone - the things people worry about on the road..!
My gas bottle had run out so I headed to refill it. I seem to be doomed. Arrived at 4pm and they close at 3...!!! I have two gas bottles so the other is okay. I will fill get a refill on the way into town in the morning.
Trying to turn right on the main highway at 4pm was a nightmare in a
Campervan. Probably would have been in a car too. I waited and waited and after awhile no cars turning left so I turned left went a block and turned right did a U turn and got back on the highway.
Will spend another night here in the old Southdown school grounds. Not many photos again today. Massive big Bunnings being built here.Read more
