Day 86: Tue 2 Aug - Brewarrina

-0.1 (feels like -2) - 21 (feels like 18), fine and sunny, with increasing cloud cover in the afternoon

Quite a chilly start to the day so we were a bit slow getting up. Greg went for an early morning walk, whilst Wendy got started on doing a week's worth of washing. After breakfast and when the sun finally kicked in some warmth, Greg went out again, this time on his bicycle. He checked out the 4 Mile Camping Reserve, which was a bit of a muddy mess after recent flooding, however that didn't deter half a dozen or so caravans from camping there. Wendy took the opportunity of reasonable phone service to do some paid work. Later in the morning we wandered down town to the Muddy Waters CafĂ© for mornos; the coffee and cakes were great.  We didn't feel much like lunch when we got home.

Eventually we did have have lunch and a little rest, then Greg went out for another walk. We met up at the local Foodworks for a resupply run. Back to the van for a rest, then exercises/stretches and some crocheting. Pre-dinner drinks were had inside again tonight whilst Wendy did the blog.

A fairly uneventful day; nice to take it easy occasionally.
