Bad night…slept in a bit….
Got up started some washing…. then got a msg from Sheryl to say they were walking down for Brekky to the Crystal Cafe
As we were walking in a lady asked. Could I take a pic for what they called the sevets with named TShirts….The Sisters on the Loose…..they looked like they were having a great time…good on them...it’s taken then off to Brekky with Vans and Bill at Crystal Cafe at the most expensive place in Town…Brekky pretty good…even though long wait…
We said our goodbyes then proceeded back to our motel room to get the Washing done…which took me all day in the end…they have a drying room…but in this weather the drying takes days…in summer it would be nearly instant….but at present it’s an all day job….in the end I ended up putting most through the drier….earlier in the day as I was leaving the drying room the toothless manager came out…I thought he was a worker not the manager….both he and his wife who are friendly enough look a bit like they are from the back streets….anyway looks are deserving aren’t they 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔anyway I mentioned how the cloths came out saturated…he thought it was out of order…but later did it was out of balance …John had taken it out he wouldn’t have been aware of things like that as he very rarely wash’s….. anyway I ended up having to use that machine again…all up 5 machines and 2 lots of drying….but took all day in the end..
John had been trying to buy parts for car, an antenna no luck on any front…couldn’t get a gas cylinder for our gas heater either…
I ended up making lunch here at the backpacker motel kitchen of Gyzos….nothing fancy but food….
The couple next door with the baby...he looks so very young…always outside smoking…coming and going all day with his car….never saw the mother…but he had the baby at one stage….
Before lunch we had headed to get some shopping at IGA where funny enough we ran into Bill.
After lunch in between the washing I set about trying to sort out my pics on the hard drives, upload the camera memory card to the phone before taking them off….what a jolly mess it all ended up…still haven’t got it sorted yet not having set up the folders pre the trip has lead to me downloading into multiple folders unnamed and it all has copies of copies and a huge mess and computer.
I hit the wall a bit this arvo we just Go, go go no rest always doing and being, never just stopping enjoying and resting…..Both very tired…
John ended up giving a call to Mazda in Port Augusta now we are having to go to Port Augusta to see Mazda about our ABS and ECL engine lights being on constantly which isn’t good…so need to have a look what’s wrong before we make a decision on where we go from there….Bill had hoped to do the Gawla Rangers….
All the cloths folded and sorted as best as we could we headed to Dinner with Bill at Oliver's across the road...meal great…serves great and the Rose really good….best I have ever had….
I couldn’t eat all my meal my tummy hit the wall so asked for a takeaway...while waiting a local indigenous man wandered in wanting free food from the staff… I asked was he hungry he nodded…I gave him my meal which he wanted look at…then he wanted me to give him grog as well 🤔😢😟…I said no only food no grog….
We said good night to Bill headed home...while watching movies I did get some posting done on FB and instagram…
Very tired…big dayMeer informatie
