Domestic Day

Only a couple of cafes open on Sundays in Broken Hill. I drove to Gourmet Crib Tin Cafe for our take away coffees. The coffee is good but the food display didn’t look very gourmet.

After breakfast I put on the first load of washing. Bluey was in need of a bath, but he tried to hide in the pillows.

When it was warm enough for T-shirt and shorts, I set up the table and big plastic bucket for Bluey’s bath. After towel drying him, I put him in the car to dry, where it was warm but not hot.

After he was dry I sat in the outdoor critter crate to give him a trim. Most of his loose fur stays in the crate, but it is a challenge grooming him on my lap.

The second load of washing was all towels. Most of the clothes lines in the sun were full, but with a slight breeze everything dried.

I have walked Bluey and Tilly separately around the caravan park. Tomorrow we will give Bluey a run on some green grass in town.

We went for dinner at the Palace Hotel with my nephew and his wife and nearly four year old daughter. This 1889 hotel featured in the fabulous film Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Food is average but my salmon was excellent.

I couldn’t take photos as good as those on the hotel website, so I copied theirs.
