Jamie and Nera have been in Wynyard this week as part of Nera’s role in the COVID immunisation program. It’s not a big town and they found themselves staying at the local hotel. Normally, Nera’s company finds slightly better accommodation for them but she now realises how the average Aussie has to cope. They bumped into some of their friends who were in town with their kids for a basketball tournament and that probably explains why accommodation was limited. Jamie says he really enjoyed watching the matches, reminding him of the time he played with the Perkunas club in Hobart.
They drove up from Wynyard, collected some fresh clothes at home and called in to us to pick up Archie on their way to Hobart. Accommodation must be a problem there too; they’re booked into a cabin at the Risdon Vale Caravan Park, directly opposite the Risdon Prison where Martin Bryant and other notorious criminals spend their days. Of course, that means they can have Archie with them and that’s a plus.
It suits us to be a backup for them when they’re so busy. The fish still have to be fed, Archie looked after and Marilyn is also helping with washing and ironing.
