| Received late last night. |
Ben was in Hobart this morning and picked up the cut sapphire. The next step is to get it valued either somewhere in Hobart or travel north to the jewellers in Launceston, then head back to Weldborough. Given the weather forecast, heading back to the relative comfort of Weldborough is a good idea. He spent a cold night in a one-person tent last night. The sleeping bag was reasonably good but, without a sleeping mat, it was very cold on the ground. According to news reports, it snowed on Mt Wellington overnight. There's only $46 in the bank, it's definitely time to make a contribution.
7pm update: Thawing out at St Helens after riding up the east coast road from Hobart. Visited Cambridge and caught up with friends at the caravan park pizza restaurant. Very lucky to reach Scamander without running out of fuel. High praise for the new motorbike boots that keep the toes warm on long trips. And finally, looking forward to a good night's sleep (in three sleeping bags!) at Weldborough.
