Rain drops on the flyscreen backlit at Waldrens in the middle of the night.

2.15 PM

That was lovely rain last night. I woke several times and didn’t sleep a lot but enjoyed it.

Shower by the river sth side and a lot of fog around.

To Broulee for more sensors. Water at the surf club. A bloke about 60 all full up with something says, “What do you think of OUR beach?”

Stupid. I wasn’t in the mood. “Well, it’s everybody’s beach, isn’t it?”

“It’s OUR beach. We live here.”

“Ahhhh” I said as if to say I’ve found an idiot. He got the message.

To the Bay. Kmart for camp chairs. One for $40 was the right size and had a table. Been all around incl. Canberra for months, nothing good enough. For 40 bucks I thought I could store it if no good. At the checkout it charged me $25. Fantastic.

Dropped the old Kmart one at storage, and got rid of the worst backpack I’ve ever had. Would always roll around and open wide and fall over driving me nuts absolutely constantly.

I’ll get one in Canberra.

5.05 PM

Fell asleep snoring in the shade on the grass at Riverside Park. Was enjoying it and considering risking staying when the prick in the Coaster came hurling in and stopped 10 feet away. He’s the prick who had the radio going loud while he sat in the drivers seat listening to the footy. Horrible noise the other day. I moved away from him then later copped the bike rider.

Totally obnoxious, I moved away quickly.

At Waldrens, dinner almost cooked. Hot late sun per usual. 3 vehicles here.

Could get a vehicle up my arse, the way it’s parking. I’ll move forward if so.
