The New Outback Woman
We stopped off at a Sports Store this morning. They were having a sale. We bought a small back pack.
Val is now transformed. Away with the net curtains and domesticity of the UK. This is the new ‘Outback Woman’.
One of our house swapping duties is to look after the owners’ cats: Itchy and Scratchy.
‘All they’re interested in is food and drink and a comfortable place to sit,’ I say.
‘Not much different from you then,’ says Val

We had freshly squeezed Oranges for breakfast. The house we are staying has an orange tree, a lemon tree and a tangelo tree (originally a cross between a mandarin and a grapefruit)
