Day 47 - Fish and snips

Today we went to Wynyard in order for the Bandycoot (my boyfriend) to have a medical test. He went through it with flying colours. Beforehand, I had decided to treat him to a yummy fish & chip lunch in the beautiful Wynyard harbour. It was the only fish place in town that we hadn’t tried and we were keen to see how it compared. We had the pups with us and so we took them to explore the nearby Gutteridge Gardens park set on the Inglis River while we waited for our lunch. It’s was very green and there were still piles of logs on the low-lying riverbank, washed down during the floods. We sat overlooking the now calm water as we had our fish and chips, which turned out to be rather disappointing.

While waiting for the Bandycoot at the doctors’ surgery, I sat in the car with the pups sleeping on the back seat. With our limited internet access, the Bandycoot wanted to take full access of the 4-bar service in town and left a device downloading while he was gone. Unfortunately it totally drained my car battery and we had to wait for an hour for the RACT guy to come and get us going again, even though their depot is one block away. Because the battery was dead flat, I lost all connection to the security system built in to the stereo. It kept asking for a code, but I’m pretty sure I never got one and went through all the manuals keenly searching for the magic numbers. It looks like we won’t be having any music in the car for a while L
