Lots of frog noises, and critters, during the night. Wasn’t disturbed but some vehicles came and went of which I was aware and probably woke me.

I heard human noises and switched on a side light. Glimpsed a bloke walking away from the tables holding what was likely a plate.

Awake now to see and hear the sunrise.

6.05 AM

It’s getting light a lot later. Went for a sunrise colour shot through the window, in bed doing NYT, and a bus or truck pulled up in frame mid trigger.

8 AM

Waiting for the 20 minutes if insulin absorption to do its thing, after a shower at the Queanbeyan centre. A treat, a break from relentless cooking of the same thing every day.

Not feeling great. I wake each morning with chest problems and today too constricted to talk properly. Be alright once I get going.

6.25 PM

At Brooks. Early shower at Queanbeyan and maccas. Out to Belconnen Battery World, great guy. Got a picture on lithium batteries, and prices.

Back to Anaconda and the very strange staff attitude due to strange management. The lithium batteries there price wise are attractive. Solves the fridge F1 constant problem, although it’s better using a different plug outlet.

Very hot. Dead tired all day.

Working out what to do. Might get the batteries, pay them off, and hide the replacements in a drain to take back to the coast. But that would require installing them and there’s a bit involved.

Some cars in and out. A quiet one in the parking bay. Old homeless guy not here.

Always in full sun at this place. Hot van, sticky sweaty, until sunset.
