Day 57 Saturday 12th June, 2021
I was able to stay in bed for an extra hour as I needed to go to the shop and try and work lunch out for 6 days. No wraps here at grandma's Cafe. They didn't open till 8 as Grandma, who usually opens at 6.30am was away in Rockie. Her daughter doesn't do early apparently.
I walked to the shop but couldn't come up with a weight friendly solution. I picked up some biscuits and cheese. But wasn't happy. There is a Puma service station on the outskirts and I needed to make a few phone calls on my dying phone. Said goodbye to Craig who will post my book to Perth on Monday and wandered past the shop again. Then onto the Puma. They had muesli bars but at $5 each and 12 required would have been an expensive solution. I did spy a chicko roll and a double expresso and would later regret that purchase.
The solution was to stop and catch up with family and friends for the day. Moved over to the motel/caravan park across the road and stayed still for the day. This proved fortunate as the motel has a little shop and had nice and natural muesli bars at $4 a box. They had other supplies like noodles etc which grandma's was short on. I don't want to cook lunch so a couple of boxes of bars was it.
I used the opportunity to wash and the charger worked as the day warmed up. I Grandma's did have a charger for $30 but I decided to leave it for now. The one thing that Grandma's does is good food. The chicko roll and iced coffee was making me queasy. The walk back into town is about 2 kilometres. But had to make do with the motel restaurant dinner. Which was OK. Finished the day off with a couple of beers and some mindless television.
