Around Tamworth

We took one of our Roadie friends to Tamworth for a community market. It was pleasant weather for a walk around town, but the markets were a waste of time. Peel St is blocked off ready for the country music festival, but few shops were open and every cafe was amazingly busy. We walked past the statue of Slim Dusty and Joy McKean and were able to take photos without any crowd.

While in town we decided to go to West’s Rugby Club to get our short term festival membership cards. These make it much easier to enter the club and get into the shows, minimising queueing. The cards were made in January after we signed up online before the festival was postponed. All cards say they expire 30 March but the computer has been adjusted to accept all of the cards.

Yesterday afternoon I spotted this shadow of clothes hanging on the line. It looked like each peg had been placed the same distance from the next, but the clothes were hung randomly on three lines.

I walked Tilly and when she came close to Poppy our Roadie Yorkshire Terrier she rolled over, then Poppy rolled over. The interactions between our two cats and three dogs has been entertaining.

I cleaned the cobwebs off the rear vision camera mounted at the back of the Bushtracker. My next job was to replace one the potable water filters. This would have been easier if I had thought to fill the filter holder with water before screwing it back into place, because the air had to be removed from the system. Fortunately the potable water system has a “prime” option.

When we all gathered for a drink late in the afternoon, Tilly and Luvvy were checking each other out. This is as close as they got to each other. Each of the cats has no drama being close to any of the dogs. Bluey and Luvvy touched noses when they saw each other after a few months of being apart.
