made it to wahgunyah alive and found ... books
Arrived early evening yesterday to the sight of an unexpectedly suburban street and a grey cat who insinuated we were on a good behaviour bond. A makeshift dinner of lentil soup, rice and banana loaf. Followed that up with S5 DW eps 4&5 which were the most watchable yet. I'm still not sold on the companion.
Today was a 16km return trip ride to Rutherglen. We came, we saw, we left with antiquarian books. I picked up a gorgeous 1882 Thackaray I'm insanely happy with, as well as a 1923 Robert Louis Stevenson and a slightly trashed copy of the very famous Geology by Bird. Some maps torn out but the text intact. It's like porn for rock nerds, and oh so pretty.
Managed two hours with the next chapter the first night, followed by half an hour while nursing a cup of chai this morning. It's almost ready to be set aside in favour of the next one.
Right now is champagne from a local cellar door and a very tactile experience with my Thackaray ... Don't judge me.
