More Shopping

12th August – Wednesday

Decided to return to DFO this morning and buy an Oroton handbag I saw last week (they were very cheap, especially for Oroton). Unfortunately, there weren’t any left, which means next time: no dithering! Of course, someone headed straight for the Ralph Lauren shop and bought another pair of pants and socks – “too good a bargain not to buy!”

This afternoon it was back to bowls and an extremely hot afternoon on the green. As it is winter, the sunshade isn’t unrolled. One of us had a couple of very good games and came third overall at the end of the day – this makes a second and third in three weeks, so I am determined to crack the big one before we leave. Afternoon tea was bread and vegemite or bread and pickles; a bit different to Beltana’s sausage rolls, party pies and cocktail savs, but probably more appropriate for the climate. Stratford is a very nice club and we have been made very welcome.

The postman brought us a parcel today, with some photos and movies starring Jack. Great fun!

Early to bed tonight!!!
