Day 12

Another big long walk

Some laundry - we don’t have a washing machine fitted to the van. Slight regrets. We use a lot of cupboard space and you would have to sacrifice some to fit a washing machine. You have to get them fitted at construction as the plumbing needs to be run prior to fit out. Alas, we did not and have been spending about $20 a load and have done 3 loads so far. Also a big variation in prices. We have seen anywhere from $4-$7 per load. The other thing we considered was a portable machine. Decided against as it yet another thing to lug around.

Used Australia Post parcel collect service to get a few things we bought online delivered. Such as around 1.8kg of my favourite dried meats….

This is a good service for Aussies without a fixed address. Get things sent to the post office where you will be. I would definitely recommend planning ahead here and give yourself a couple of days for the item to sit there before you arrive. You don’t want to be stuck in a town waiting for your delivery.

Also trigger warning: digital ID needed (Aust post variety). Choose the person in the family most likely to do hard time in the future and compromise their security instead. :)

More swimming and slides and a nice drink at the swim up bar.

Took doggo for a bath and then a run at the doggy park. He is slimming out nicely with all this walking and exercise.

Currently back into doing 100 push ups a day. I’m on day 7. Keen to stick this out until the end. Will post before and after pics if I get buff. I won’t promise anything.

Used ChatGPT to draw up an email I’ll use to email parks around Oz for gigs. Stay and play…

Kids homeschool going great. Found out some holes in their math game we didn’t realise existed. Can plug them easily over coming days. Math is foundational. People of struggle often missed some of these foundational steps along the way. Set up for failure by the system. Grateful I have the opportunity to intervene.
