Best sleep for many months. Quiet. No traffic nearby. Away from the nasty bastard who fantasises about murdering.

The view just now through the window.

9.30 AM

Sitting in the can in the secondary shower spot sth side of the river wondering wtf I’m going to do. Tempted to stay another night at Riverside because it was so pleasant!

Beats the badvibe Waldrens as it was recently as well as the noise of it and Bungendore where I’d be going.

Doctors Canberra Wednesday, so it’s go up today or tomorrow.

Having a shower now. No rush

6.10 PM

Did manage to het some painting done. Not a pleasant day, me rudderless, drove to various places to settle and paint. Ended up at Riverside Park because people using other places.

Just had dinner here at Riverside and one of my fears about staying here fired up at about 6PM. Permanent settlement in humpies playing loud music.

Heard them do it before. Just lucky last night because I’ve heard it too often. There are literally campers here everywhere you look, maybe thirty, and those selfish arseholes couldn’t give a shit.

Some campers, eight vehicles I can see, are within 40m of the pricks.

Depending on how long it goes, I’m going to have to leave. I also don’t want the full sun of the truckstop if the Pests Of Waldrens Swamp are still down.

I’m heading off tomorrow, and really need to leave the Moruya area.

I don’t know how long I can keep up this getting hassled.

7.45 PM

At Waldrens Swamp. No one here with me at the cars section. A truck in the truckstop section – idling so loudly I can hear it where I am.

Windows nearly fully closed and some videos hopefully should see off the truck. No Pests unless they do a late turn up which is possible.

Anyway, it’s highway noisy as ever and people will arrive but it’s better than a selfish prick playing music loudly.

Only concern is the murderous viper turns up, but not likely.

8.10PM

So a hire camper van turns up music blaring three kids half pissed, unload chairs straight onto my side making a fucking racket. Clueless drinking

8.33 PM

So I stick my head out of the window and ask them to go somewhere else if they want to party. Nice kid says sure mate here for a quiet night. I tell them it’s a rest area, I’m here nice and quiet not disturbing anyone, and the place is for getting sleep so I don’t have a head on tomorrow. They got it. Here for a quiet night he said again, I thanked them for listening and wished them a nice night. But quickly they drove off, since a quiet night wasn’t their thing at all.

Peace again, for now anyway. But fuck they were inconsiderate rowdy and, thankfully, realised it.

8.45 PM

A red station wagon drives by with a rooftop – I thought it was a Pest. But it’s a girl on her own I think and quiet as a mouse.

Got headphones in out of consideration and maybe now can watch something and relax.

12.40 AM

The prick kids arrived back about 9.20 PM and I was nearly getting to sleep. Doors sliding and banging, cooked dinner on the gravel, constant crunching, clash banging, doors banging sliding doors screeching and banging, giggles muted by the ringleader menace doors banging, slising door crunching bangingning walking around crunching – nonstop unt 12.10 AM.

With someone right beside them.

My worst night ever.cEver. On the road

I left Moruya for this, I didn’t drive to Canberra for hospital so as to get a good sleep tonight.

Worst ever.

12.47 AM now and it’ll be a long time to get to sleep. I’m so angrey I could baah their vehicle and wake them up!a!
