@matigo That’s actually a reasonably good one. Here’s a pic of the horrid muck.
At the aunt’s wake. I’m having a weak, insipid cup of tea because the coffee option is horrendous. There is only one brand of instant coffee in this country that fouler than the one on offer here.
I have my AeroPress handy in the car, when I’m set up in the motel, I’m getting a real brew.
Arrived 4 hours 20 minutes after departure, spent 30 minutes on s couple of roadside stops.
Caught up with various cousins & their families, now at the church, service starts in 25 minutes.
8:15 am. Been on the road since 4:55 am, one brief stop 106 km ago. Only 60 km to go, according to the GPS.
@variablepulserate Correct. Her mansion is at the start of the southern end of the road.
There’s a terrific driving road called the Melba Highway, when the idiots get out of the way it’s fun to drive on. One hilly section climbs Mt Slide: there’d been a vehicle accident there recently & the was a sign out proclaiming “Oil on road.”
Trip is going well, rain falling gently. I’m at halfway timewise & over halfway re distance.
It’s made a lot harder by the festering morons who’ve no clue about how to drive on single carriageway roads. However in only 32 km I’ll be on the freeway.
Stopped at a fuel station/general store, it’s almost 7am & it’s yet to open.
Thirty minutes until sunrise.
Finally got Sygic to update its maps & settings. Had to uninstall & reinstall several times, though.
The best-laid plans, etc, etc. Nav app continues to have trouble downloading the updates.
Might have to fish out the Lumia 1020 and use its version of Sygic.
