Sleepless (until tonight) in Seattle, Monday 8 Juy

It’s nice to be in their home again. Rick and Barbara have given us their bedroom – very generous. We all had a nap of sorts in the morning and then had a quiet day, apart from Barb, who went shopping to replenish their food stocks after their holiday. Rick headed off to see Lily play in the softball play-offs: she’s in the 10-12 yrs State team; unfortunately they lost. Meantime we went for a drive down to the beach and sat for ages in the shade watching the water drift by. Graham is now asleep (at 9.45pm) and I’ll be in bed shortly, hoping for a respectable night’s sleep.
