Amy's diary entry 6
Hey hey I found a computer! I met a lovely man here in Deep Water who let me use the computer in his house. We met at the pub and he warned me that his house was at the other end of the town so we'd have to drive. I would have called it just around the corner, as it was pretty much just around one corner, but at the same time he was right - it was the other side of town.
Needless to say, Deep Water is a lovely little town. Little, little town. Population 355 give or take 5 depending on whether a charity walk is passing through... But hey, we're going to be doubling the attendance at the Progress Society meeting tonight so that's exciting!
The last few days have been an absolute ball - much like the first few days. I drove the van earlier to where we had to start the day's walking from and me being me forgot to check that there was enough petrol to get us there. Ah well, at least we ran out on the top of a hill not the bottom. That's the positive I found in the situation anyway. Unfortunately the others couldn't see my point. I don't think there was a point actually, I just thought it sounded good at the time.
I apologise if my mood isn't as cheery as it has been. In fact I do feel a little down right now. The last few days I've been walking and walking and walking and searching and searching but there's very few cows about. Practically none. I heard a faint mooo a few hours ago but I'm starting to believe it was my imagination.
The team has come a long way in thirteen days. We had a decent minus five morning today, and I hear the road to Glen Innes is going to be a chilly one in the morning, but regardless of the temperature we did have a small victory today (a day early, I'll admit - any excuse to celebrate). Walk With a Rose is 25% closer to home. I think we're just about to enter the 'thick' of the walk. That is, the...post - honeymoon, pre - halfway mark part where we've really got to make things work. There has been some interesting challenges and some amazing victories and we're barely sitting on 2 weeks. I write this with a smile on my face, though, knowing that we are an amazing team and we really are setting very high goals and doing a fantastic job in achieving them. Every day. I just hope there's some nice cows to look at tomorrow.
