Flies, Grinder & Compressor
Lots of all of that, all day. Quite horrible.




5PM Quaama
Great name. Slept pretty well, all through to 4AM. Not bothered. Showered in the rest area using the shower curtain. Again, not bothered, thankfully.
Received a response from Australia Post which was the most off point and irrelevant I’ve ever received from a company or organisation. I wrote back asking if it was AI (I didn’t know) and for the email address of a manager. Got a call quickly-it was the mention of the Ombudsman-which said the right things, on message bank.
Then got to painting. Terrific set up under cover. But a guy in a garage ran a compressor, same sound as a generator, for hours on end, much longer than a caravan. Then for most of the day he also ran a grinder. Tough noises nonstop. I got five minutes peace around lunchtime and it was lovely.
He knocked off around 2.30PM same as me. I’d painted straight through and was tired, also from the noise. Pleased with the results.
Went for a short walk along the river bed; can’t go far unless wading. Br good to see it in a flood.
Like yesterday, absolutely tormented by flies. Also nonstop. Everywhere, all over.
Cooler breeze now and all closed up, so a break from them!
Keen for a peaceful night. But a good day, because of the little paintings.
