I
had a bad night with my throat. It didn’t help that it was cold then rain came
and it got hot. Still raining at 6am. By 8am it was drizzly so Leanne &
Rick decided not to do the cruise. I wanted to go back to Smithton to a doctor
for my throat. We packed up and then the sun came out. Had a cuppa overlooking
the lovely west coast. Drove back to Smithton and parked in the same spots at
Tall Timbers Hotel camp area.
We
ducked into town and I got an appointment at the Medical Centre for 3.10pm.
Back to the van for lunch and then worked on my blog. Back into town to see the
Doc who was 50 minutes late. He just said it’s a virus but I suppose you want
anti-biotics. I said I just want
something for the pain. At least he bulk billed as he didn’t have a good bed
side manner.
Went
next door to the chemist who was great. He explained that a red throat was
virus, a white spotted one was bacteria. He also worked out and explained the best
pain killers for me and gave me a throat spray rather than sucking lozenges.
Back to the van and popped my pills. An hour later when we had nibbles the pain
in my throat was so much better so the painkillers were working well.
Last
drinks with Leanne and Rick as they head off tomorrow to see the last few
things before catching the boat back to the mainland on the 9th. I
helped them join up as V8 Volunteers and hopefully we will see them at Bathurst
this year. We laughed as a young chap pulled up and wanted to know who the
truck belonged to. He wanted to know about the intercooler, so off Steve went.
He then took him for a drive, then they came back and went for a drive in his
car. I think Steve should be on the payroll for the company. It certainly gets
a lot of attention as we travel. We even had a guy come up beside us and give
him the thumbs up and I thought he was saying I was good looking or
something!!! But he liked Steve’s scoop!!!
Cool
night 20 degrees.
