4AM waking after 10PM and 1AM also, now down by the lake so the Mawson locals don’t get upset. The fugitive on the run.

Shots taken through foggy, crusty, dirty van windows are sensational. JMW big time.

2nd Worst Shower

At Stromlo Leisure Centre. Stupid thing doesn’t have a tap. It has a sensor button. I touched the button and freezing cold water gushed out. I couldn’t turn it off. I waited and waited. It didn’t heat up. I was getting sore legs from tge cold. Paid for it, couldn’t have a freezing one.

Same thing next booth. Couldn’t turn it off either.

Third shower didn’t gush, got warm, then froze quickly. Meanwhile the previous two were still gushing. This one gushed with them when I dried off and walked out ripped off and disgusted with the stupid design and the waste.

Then called in and drove through the scouts campground which I knew so well as a kid. Hot met by two gestapo types. I wouldn’t join cubs or scouts and would steer well clear of the organisation because of them. Terrible, unnecessary attitude. Fuck you.

Then to the Cotter. Enjoyed it, but it was full of yobbos drinking, music, generator people, and school holidays.

A day spent in the car wasting petrol and life, trying to see the lower ACT sections of the Murrumbidgee and the Molonglo.

I really only saw the latest outer suburbs, in hot, dry treeless barren sun.

Tge mountains that I could see were magnificent.

4.36 PM

At the rough concrete paved spot by the lake where I stayed one night and in the morning in the dark had a big Huntsman crawl across the windscreen in front of me.

Cooking dinner on the paving. No one here at 4PM when I arrived but three cars now. Maybe some gathering over the road. Just my luck. Might have to move.

Too hungry and tired.
