Sunday 20th
March 2016
I am trying to get just a bit of fitness back. It is impossible to walk with any speed – too
HOT!!! The only thing for it is to
swim. So far I can only manage 30
minutes at a time, a bit disappointing.
And I have lost my confidence for going over the seawall into the actual
sea… So far I just swim around the boats, which is pleasant enough if not all
that stimulating – visibility = less than one metre…
Explanation as to why we need local phones: I am not
game to put a local SIMcard into my beloved iPhone. I tried once, about a year ago, and the whole
system crashed; I thought I had killed my Precious for ever! So it is much better to have a cheap and
cheerful local phone, which can cope with local SIMcards!
The days leading up to our departure from Tasmania
were extra busy. Especially for Pete… We
were leaving on Sunday afternoon, and on Friday morning, early, he decided to
furnish one of his apartments, for holiday rental. It was completely empty so he had to rush
about sourcing beds, table, chairs, lounge suites, cushions, mattresses, the
LOT!! And then on Saturday I went with
him to load all of the purchases into James’s van. I was reasonably helpful, and even managed to
(partially) construct some flatpack coffee tables, with three layers of glass
and chrome. But basically it was all
down to Pete. In the afternoon we went
to Nicky and Gav’s in Cremorne and…
Zoe and Rose were quite convinced that he was
dead!! (Zoe is really into death, at the
moment.)
