Day 224 Nabiac Thursday 17th January 2013

Hi folks,

A warm day today with the promise of more heat tomorrow.

We arose early and were in Taree by 845. I spent a goodly amount of time in the opticians (Baker, Payne & Webb), looking at frames, getting my eyes tested and going through options. I have on order a new pair of multi focals and some readers. Replacement sunglasses gave me the most problem from the point of view of justifying the expenditure. The staff were friendly and persuasive and in the end I bought a new pair as well.  All on the credit card of course!

Would you buy a used car from this shady character?

After some other minor business we returned to Nabiac and called into the pub for the $8.80 lunch special. A revelation considering our misadventures of late. Susan had a curry and I had battered fish.  The food was good and cheap. We returned to the farm. We spent time sitting and listening to the audio book. We then toodled out into the field with Anna to help her harvest some honey which is now waiting for us to spin it tomorrow.

It is now 11, the blog is written and the audio book is rattling along in the car with the doors open and the narrators voice booming into the night. I wonder if we will get to bed at a reasonable hour since it has reached what seems to be a climax and we want to hear the end!

night folks

Cheers Simon
