Day 5 - Bedroom joy

Sleeping is such a joy in a comfortable environment and such a source of discomfort and frustration when it eludes you. After a few weeks of sleeping on a swag mattress on the road trip down and doing some indoor camping the first few days here at The Old Dairy, it was time to get serious about getting a proper bed! We checked out a few second hand dealers who sold new mattresses, but decided it would be better to spend a bit more a get a quality mattress that would last. So we must have laid on about a dozen different ones in the showroom before making a decision. We finally decided on ‘the one’ only to be told they only had the display and none in stock. The thought of waiting another week to get one delivered was so disheartening, we ended up driving to the same chain in the next town to pick up one and drive it back on the roof of the Bandycoot’s ute (aka ‘Brutus’). We set it up in front of the fireplace (while we wait for the bedroom carpet to be laid), and that night was the best sleep we had in ages. I never appreciated a mattress so much!!
