Photographs

Bluey was left in the Bushtracker with Tilly while we had breakfast at Hutch and Co, which is the only half decent cafe in the area. Saturday mornings are for young families such as the group seated next to us with a 2 year old who screamed, two 4 year olds who spilt their hot chocolates, and parents who were focussed on their own food and conversation.

After dropping Anita back at the caravan park I went to see my father. When I arrived he was eating lunch followed by a glass of wine – a great improvement as he hasn’t been doing either. Three women share his table but only one is able to converse.

We went back to his room where I had set up my laptop to show him old family photos. He was able to identify most of the people in photos up to 80 years old. I had scanned dozens of old black and white photos onto a USB stick so he can view them in his room, but his smart TV is not user friendly for 90+ year olds. This photo is of my father (in the front middle) with his five siblings.

I took Bluey and Tilly for a walk, but tied Tilly to the van while Blue met the 60kg black European Shepherd that is living in the park. This will not be a long standing dog-to-dog friendship.

After making sure the big dog had returned to his van at the bottom of the park, I took Tilly to an empty caravan site with fencing on three sides. She and Blue had a wrestle together but Tilly was more interested in that rabbit.
