With a bit of time to kill before I need to be in Adelaide, it’s time to relax, reflect, and plan.
Bought Saturday morning’s paper, a rare treat, but at $5.50 I’m not surprised, still, you can’t beat having a large newspaper spread out in front of you, coffee in hand. While I object to all the pigeon holing, Boomers, Gen X’s etc, there are some things from my past I miss, like reading a newspaper… F__k mobile phones!
Felt guilty after a while and got on the bike and rode out to West Meningie. Absolutely nothing out there, but a 40km workout meant I could have a beer😊
Clocks go back tonight… not much to say about that.
The ride to Wellington is the start of the really long straight roads. Switch off and daydream, while keeping an ear out for fast approaching morons. Actually, that’s not fair, the vast majority of passing motorists have been very courteous.
Never taken much to energy drinks, but I had one squirreled away and thoroughly enjoyed it at the halfway mark.
Reached Wellington in good time and crossed the Murray by ferry. The skipper was very interested in my journey and I in his. Quite pleasant in retirement, ferrying vehicles, mainly happy tourists, back and forth across the river, in a lovely setting.
Nice little place, Wellington. No shops, just a pub.
I succumbed and bought a bottle of local wine, because it’s such a nice day and place. The pub lent me a glass, so I didn’t have to swig out of the bottle… all very civilised. Shall have a meal there tonight.
