17 May: So I don't know how much driving time/kms we've clocked up yesterday and today, only that it is a lot. We were in Leeton last night and we are near (but not entirely in) Orange tonight. In both cases Perry has been a little freaked out by the unfamiliar surroundings but he eventually adapts. He has been a good traveller, sleeping most of the time. Lucky.
For a lot of the journey I listened to a book called Palm Beach, Finland which is a comedy crime thriller by Antti Tuomainen from 2017. For some reason the person reading it has decided that the less sophisticated, criminal types in the book (they are all Finns, ostensibly speaking Finnish) must talk in West Country tones. The characters in the book are constantly looking at each other, it's a nervous tic / punctuation for Tuomainen ('he looked at her. "Well," she said...').
That took forever but once it was over I listened to podcasts for the rest of today's driving.
