Friday

Am sick. I quite like this. Yesterday we took the train to Ballarat and I cuddled a wombat called Georgie at the wildlife park. Indescribably nice. The country is beautiful. Lots of different kinds of tree with the brown-red yellow-red sheen kahikitea have. And red earth. Some places just like our one whero, some deeper or richer. Cockatoos. Ravens all along Ballarat’s station road, cawing. Today went to the markets, huge. Have a wallet but not a hat. Lots of berries. We slept most of the afternoon, and Sam made me chai berry watermelon smoothies.
