Day 19.
Just when you thought that Saskatchewan couldn’t get any
more interesting right on morning tea time you find a coop store that sells of
all things farming supplies and plumbing equipment. Can you believe that? At
the counter arranged neatly were a range of chocolate bars. Doesn’t that just
blow you away?
When I asked if they would sell me a coffee they replied
that they didn’t but that we could help ourselves to one out the back in the
staff room and use the table and chairs. So there you go. There was even a copy
of the local paper out there that informed us that the tics were about. (Watch
out Tammy, private joke). If I see a tic, which incidentally we don’t have in
NZ, I must remove it in an anti clockwise direction while pulling a funny face.
Once we were finished at the coop we cycled down the road to
the local scrap yard for a photo session before heading to the crèche at McD to
post yesterdays blog. The kids are behind the netting but still to close for
comfort , and the din!
My Adi just said she’s going bloody good so far on this trip
and she’s no spring chic. She advised of this tonight I think because she feels
proud of another 145km day followed by a night in a shonky un official
campground in Chaplin SK with no shower and the gall to ask for $10 at the
honesty box.
We would have stayed in the local Hotel but it looked from
the outside like it could be injurious to ones health to stay the night. I’ll
go with the tics and give the bed bugs a miss.
We saw a buffalo an otter and what Adi is calling an eagle.
Go on someone burst our bubble and tell us there are no eagles in Canada. Adi
reckons there are tics in NZ , but I’ve never seen one.
Oh had to fix a couple more of Adi’s punctures today. Her
free fix flats vouchers have just about run out with me.
