Another strange dream this morning - can't remember too much of it now, but the part I do remember is going into a 17th or 18th century era museum, it feels Austrian for some reason, and then a school tour is organised to restore the museum a bit more with some more antiques. There was more but it has just slipped away too quickly with wakefulness.
Today we were out of the motel by 9.30 and headed to Northgate, one of the shopping malls in northern Hobart - I was looking for nice shoes from Colorado which are also stocked in Williams, but the best I could get was in central Hobart at a size eight - no such luck at Northgate, but picked up Mallrats and Foo Fighters latest, which were both in the bargain bin already, well impressed to see Mallrats there, and got a nice long sleeved T-shirt from Westco. Had eggs benedict for brekkie, and V asked where I had learned about that dish - of course, I had to say Canada with the post WW Saturday brekkies, hmm.
Then off to Island Markets in a shed on a side street in Glenorchy - just had a wander around, not much of interest - apart from the live fish tanks - for seafood, not for pets. Headed out on the highway via Bridgewater and Brighton, we were thinking of heading to the animal park there, but when filling the petrol tank, the wind absolutely cut right through me, and rainclouds weren't too far off, so I made the decision not to go - there was querying about that from the other three, but it soon pissed down and my judgement was as sound as Solomon's.
Stoppef for lunch at Ross again, another chicken pie, with an added vanilla slice - took more pics inside the St John's Anglican Church, and then the rain was almost sleet like, all the way from Ross to Perth. Got home at about 3.30, dropped P and T off, and went to visit L, dropping off an eckle from Ross bakery as we did so.
B came around to be babysat for the evening, we went and got sausages from the butcher, potatoes from the greengrocer, dropped a postcard with Postperson Pat (as in Patricia), and V had a chat with the doctor's wife - all very Mount Thomas village like.
Dropped the luggage off at base camp, went to the supermarket for shopping, and am now about to relax - although they are showing the wrong footy on TV, Swans v Dockers, should be Bulldogs v Broncos, but that won't be shown until 11pm - grrr.
