Sunny Garden

   

    As we turn into the old drive-in I see a sign that says that the markets will move at the end of the month to Corbould Park, the race track back along the road to the highway. I wonder if things will be different then, stalls in rows, people with broad hats selling goods of quality. And I think I might prefer it now, no real sense of order and a broad and comfortable range of crap (p. 89).

I'm running low on food, and since all I can make is bread I organise to go shopping at Coles in the morning with Len.
    We take separate trolleys and circulate and I load up with watermelon and soft drink and a selection of peculiar teas in case Fortuna might like any of them. I buy a range of dinners for one, but we don't have a microwave at the coast so that limits my options (p. 123).
