Last night Trav wasn't working, so I was going to have to do a two-hour walk home, through town.
In town I went to an ATM to check my abalnce, expecting it to eb about $0.03, due to me emptying it last week. To my surprise it was more like $27.83, so I decided to go to Subway and see if the scam James had described to me was availiable there. It wasn't, but Anna was there, and she said that Sarah R was coming up to drop Anna's son, Mannie, off, because she'd been minding him. Sarah lives near me, so I could probably get a lift home with her when she went back.
So I got takeaway, and sat down with Anna while we waited for Sarah.
Her ex Toady came in and sat down with us. He's a cab driver, and has just gotten a new job as an escort driver. (That means he has to drive prostitutes to their clients' houses, wait outside while they have sex, then drive them back to the brothel. I didn't even realise that was a job till last night.)
Eventually Sarah arrived with Mannie, dropped him off and agreed to give me a lift home.

Today I was supposed to be catching the bus up to Creswick to do some photos, but it's real wet, so I'm just doing homework. Hopefully I can go up there tomorrow or Friday.
