Not much prep. Getting food, a case at KMart Queanbeyan for painting A4 sheets, and running updates while that happens – except, per usual, it’s two hours (so far) to update the computer for 60 seconds specific use.

It was big elsewhere. Non-event here at Bungendore, or rather Brooks Hill. Still, nice and cool.

No one else here except the permanent guy up the end.

Plenty calling in, though, and I expect stopovers.

Trying to get my bearings on what I’m going to do.

11.05 PM

Truck pulls up music blaring and wakes me from a goodcsleep. I yell out., xanbqe have a break from the music please mate. Driver is a very decent oke yeah of courese.

drivesvoff.

Showered at Queanbeyan after a terrific sleep in the country air at Bungendore, and arrived.

5.58 PM

Had hospital dinner after left eye laser treatment. Very hot and windy back in the van. Bad ringing noise from the hospital – again. Makes it hard to sleep. Nasty noise.

Next appointment on 10 weeks.

8.05 PM

After the thunderstorm. Still hot in the van, but the air is fresh and relieved.

Arrived sometime after 2PM and promptly fell asleep. Saw this new sign that the two blokes in a ute were discussing last time I was here. No doubt meant to impress. Whatever it is.

Geez it was a tough day, from lack of sleep and the mental impact of the murderous ute viper and the pricks last night. Really put me off being on the road.

On the way into yhe shower I met L who is a terrific arts aficionado and could become a friend. Chatted inside the dark theatre for a long time so I was late leaving Batemans Bay. Left 11.37AM.

Chatting animatedly with L helped disperse thoughts of badness in people.

Stopped in at Shoalhaven campground. Not as busy as expected, and there’s a return of permanents. Very shabby all over.

It’s hot up here, as well. But I’m settled in a spot I like, cooking dinner, and looking forward to an evening hopefully without noise.

Early move to Queanbeyan showers and the hospital, tomorrow. Healthy, educated, decent, sane people. How very much I need to be there.

I’m utterly exhausted and unwell. Trying to balance blood sugars after everything being thrown into turmoil.

The renters of this campervan on this date are a danger to the public. I’ve already contacted the company’s stupid chatbot to get it in the system and I’ll be calling and/or writing to them about it.
