Perth WA – all day.

Breakfast at the Alex Hotel this morning, outside it’s raining as per the forecast and little chance of abating. I’m reliably informed by The Navigator that the rain will stop at 4pm. Not only has she made Navman and Tom Tom’s redundant, soon she’ll have Bureau of Meteorology staff in jeopardy of receiving their final pay.

Pauolo has belly issues and is reluctant to move too far from the hotel and reliable sanitary facilities, however the others get a hop on hop off bus where The Don headbutts a step and is close to a yellow card for a shoulder charge on the bus floor. Nomad 2 is short two crew, but it’s ok. We have no rocketship, so there is no need for reserve crew to be called.

Jeff – the bloke from last night clearly didn’t send a message to Jesus to look after us today. Think I’ll throw his pamphlet in the bin.

The rain is pouring down when we reconvene at the hotel after lunch and the third round of ” Kings” gets underway. Wally is the winner, Jenzy plays hard but doesn’t get the money, Captain Kirk gets fed kings and aces all afternoon but can’t convert his good fortune. Smurfette’s early form has deserted her and she may lose her chance at the All Rounders Award. Look, it’s all ok, in the end “Kings” is the winner on the day.

Prior to dinner at Grilled, The Don seeks medical advice on concussion and back and shoulder injuries with Dr Harve, leaning over the bar at the Brass Monkey Hotel – beer is prescribed.

Dinner at Grilled is very good, and we wander back through the busy crowd. A convenience store is visited for supplies, its full of police, there are some outside as well, and it looks like the gluten free cereal has been stolen. What would a thief of gluten free cereal look like? They are probably burping and farting their way along the street looking for a lavatory with a box of GF Weetbix under their arm.

Not many photos today and the paper has stories that are boring, this is all you get today.
