Journal: Got up at about 8:30am and, after a shower, wandered across the road to the restaurant for breakfast.  After breakfast, I spent a few hours sewing my Australian flags on my pack.  It was a slow job and at 12:30pm I knocked off and walked up the road to get burgers for lunch again.  After lunch, I finished my sewing chores and decided not to bother walking the mile to the laundry, but did my own washing by hand.  The afternoon went quickly – I didn’t get the letters written I had planned on.  I rang theBinnings before going to tea and arranged to ring them again in the morning re a possible Sunday meeting.  Had another excellent dinner and adjourned to my room to catch up on my badly over-due diary.  Tried to ring Barb a number of times unsuccessfully.  Stayed up to 1am watching Aussie Rules on ESPN.  It wasn’t a bad game with North Melbourne just pipping Sydney.  Rang Barb at 11pm and got Ngaire – Barb’s away for the weekend.
