A Day to Have a Laugh, Be
Non-Tourists, Eat Happy Food and Finish Breaking Bad
 We heard sleet falling during the
night. At seven this morning, we looked out through the curtains on a very grey
day. So cold, even Bear was whinging. We know Mark will say we should put a
jumper on and get down and do ten press ups. We know Joe will tell us to man up.
Several will call us ‘wuss’, and the couple in the tent will go up in everyone’s
estimation as legends.
Kettle on for a welcome cup of tea.
To have our gas heater on, we find it uses a whole cylinder in twenty four
hours, thus, we had gone to bed with it off. Bear suggested it would be cheaper
to have a little fan heater and use the electricity when we are on an official
campsite. He was straight on the case, IPad in hand and found there was a Hammer Hardware a couple of miles away. Off we went
straight after breakfast. Just inside the door was a pile of electric blankets,
fluffy ones. I asked the fan-heater-searcher if he wanted a double or should I
just get the large single in my hands. The nice lady pointed out that there was
only a few dollars difference in my size and the queen size. No brainer.
Purchases stowed we did drive a little further to see the mountains behind
Hammer.
 Very cold
looking.
 Misty.
 At the end of the road was a camp site, u-turn and on our way back.
 The road
was empty. What about your need to go to the Spa Bath today. I have a need to test out the electric blanket.
Oh, that’s rich from the one who wasn’t fussed. I may
have changed my mind and I want to settle to watching more Breaking
Bad. Oh.
 Mable parked once more on her pitch, electric connected and bed made. Luxury.
Luxury indeed. Supper was happy food –
sausages, baked potato and baked beans, I had pickled onion too. Bear did indeed
settle to his Breaking Bad, left with cliff hanger after cliff hanger, we
finished the last one at two minutes past two – in the morning.
Plan, jump up
tomorrow, go to the Spa Bath and on to Christchurch in the
afternoon. Sounds like a plan.
 ALL IN ALL HAMMER AT HAMNER,
ROCKS
WARM TOES,
LUXURY |
