I had a terrible night’s sleep! Dreaming way too much, constantly tossing and turning. This time my subconscious took me back to my Holden days where I’d stolen a friend’s white BMW and was looning it around the carpark, but had to apply the brakes with all my might to get it to stop. So…

Anyone can pull something apart, so now the real test, to put everything back together with everything functioning at the end. I didn’t sleep well last night, a lot of light outside and high humidity which I wasn’t used to. I felt a little couped up in the van. I had a quick breakfast and got…

It had been a warm-ish night. When I was doing a van-tidy this morning, I actually stowed my gas heater away and packed away my down jacket.

I slept solid for ten hours and would have kept on, but I was woken up by Marianna’s garage door opening, the sun rising in the distance. I savoured the last normal shower I would have for the foreseeable future and over a breakfast of some cooked eggs, looked at my atlas to decide the…
