It was good to be in Renmark a day early as we now have two rest days here. It is very hot again, as we go above 40 again. The heat is really difficult to manage.
The day starts with meeting a Thai massage lady whilst wash my breakfast dishes. Within 5 minutes I was on the table and she had hands, elbows and knees going into all the sore parts of my back, arms, shoulders, legs, and bum. A very delightful hour that straightened me out.
Kerryn and Judy arrived early afternoon with gifts for all. A bit like Christmas. For most it was more food, but for me it was a new mattress. How good does that feel after sleeping on a broken one for a few nights. Janice also sent some chocolate which is well received. EJ finally got a camp chair that is not broken and he can sit on without falling off.
The washing is now done, it dried in about three minutes. A swim is the next priority and continues to be for the rest of the day. It is very nice being wet, cool and on a nice grass lawn next to the river. Even a sleep is in order.
Sarg finally gets the KFC he has been dreaming about for the last couple of days and settles down to watch the V8s.
We split up for dinner, Thomo and Kerryn go to the Renmark Hotel, whilst the rest of us return to the Paringa Hotel.
With a few storms about it is now hot and humid. Let's see how we manage to sleep tonight. Not even the kangaroos and possums are out tonight.
It was a pleasure not to be in the boat today. Whoops, rain falling, I have to put the fly on. Job done, the rain on my back feels cool, but now the breeze can't get in. Will need to see if it is any more than a few drops otherwise the fly will have to come off again.
