Woke at 4AM, cold, which was fabulous, then breakfast at Riverside Park. On to Narooma, groceries, then the wound changed. Then to diabetes assistance which was brilliant. I now have a monitor attached to my arm feeding constant data to an app about my blood sugar. Not doing well – the stress and now headache from the absolutely fucking idiotic and extremely loud leaf blower – blowing leaves in a state forest – has ramped up my stress.
Can’t relax into the quiet and birdsong though some other selfish prick is playing the guitar. This can be a really tough place, with very selfish attitudes. I don’t know why people think others want to hear them.
Laundromat etiquette. I never do it, because leaving washing in a machine and not coming back on time leaves queuing customers in a dilemma and aggression can follow. They put in their washing and walk away.
Are we, waiting, allowed to touch their washing, pull it out and put it on the table and use the machine?
I think we are, but it’s unpleasant for the late person and could cause a problem.
UPDATE Fresh new sheets and washed clothes.
Then a hand-held shower at the river trying to keep the dressing dry, in weather very changeable. Lovely like in the photos then dark and spotting rain, five minutes apart.
Oats and fibre mix in Batemans Bay after a fabulous sleep in Waldrens.
Here at the breakwall only one other car, away, along 60m of parking space. I’m sitting in the car about to eat, and a bloke backs in nearly hitting my car. He pulls up so close that he couldn’t open his door fully without hitting mine. Unbelievable!!
I instantly grab the keys, get out one foot from the nonghead, "G’day mate howya goin" he says and I ignore it and move 8m away.
What is it these days? People are brainless.
Then later after a Bay shower, to the Batemans Bay Urgent Care clinic.
In exact opposite to the horrible Moruya Hospital Emergency Department, I was greeted warmly by someone with a pleasant face, looked at me and into my eyes, took precise interest and happily helped me. The triage nurse was warm and welcoming and thoroughly interested in the wound instead of spending all available precious time berating me. I was attended to in correct due course by a doctor then a treating nurse each of whom introduced themselves and informed me of their position. They were professional and caring and very pleasant and respectful of me.
Complete opposite to the substandard operation that makes me angry and sick to recall.
Superb service by BBay Urgent Care Clinic – AND they had five times the number of people to attend to than the horrible place in Moruya.
