Teeming down with rain. So I pulled up the covers and had a little doze for half an hour.<\/p>\n<p>After the usual matinal performance I packed up and left, only to find that I had forgotten the camera&#8217;s SD card, so I had to go back for it. Luckily I&#8217;d only gone just across the car park.<\/p>\n<p>I found the Atlantic Superstore or whatever it&#8217;s called out here in Saskatchewan and bought a few bits and pieces and then hit the road.<\/p>\n<p>A rather relentless drive with nothing of any interest or excitement at all.<\/p>\n<p>A stop for lunch and also a stop for a kip for half an hour &#8211; it&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve been obliged to do that.<\/p>\n<p>Due to a time zone change I lost an hour on the road, so with my late start and my kip as well I only managed about 350 miles.<\/p>\n<p>In Portage du Prairie a handy Tim Horton&#8217;s came up with a free wi-fi connection and that helped me track down a motel. Rather expensive but it&#8217;s more luxurious than my place back home. And probably larger too.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m exhausted so I&#8217;m going to eat my soup and then go straight to bed.
