Rest Day Schmest Day
Friday, 29 September 2017
Jett and I managed to sleep in until about 8 today when we got up to the news that the house internet allocation had been used up and we were in go-slow mode for all future internet browsing. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I woke up at 2am and wasn’t able to get back to sleep so I watched an episode of Survivor on my computer. oops :) (who doesn’t have unlimited internet in this day and age??). Happily my blame can be shared somewhat because Andy forgot to stop his computer from doing updates and it did a big one first thing in the morning.
After struggling through breakfast with no internet we packed lunches and drove down to Evans Crown to take a look at the giant granite boulders. The short walk and scramble over the rocks was fun, and we ate lunch looking over the eastern hills below us. It was delightful.  
On our way back to Bathurst we stopped at a nice stream for some gold panning and contemplating. 
Back in Bathurst Alexa, Jett and I checked out the art at the Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) while Lyra and Andy replenished their book supplies. Then we visited Zali up in the boarding school. A bit of food shopping followed then we ended the day with a trip to the night food market. 
All in all it was a top day out. It could only have been improved if Jett hadn't beaten me for the third time running in our nightly chess game, thus bringing the overall score to 5-2. Sigh.
