DAY NINETY-ONE: Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore

DAY NINETY-ONE: Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore

It is another boring day today, but today unlike any other day it is windy. We've hardly experienced wind since starting the trip so we stayed in the van and played cards while the wind outside whipped up the dust into mini tornado's and coated everything in a fine dusting.
            The evening was more eventful the wind had died off and I went out to stretch my legs, the field next to us had a large group of Kangaroo grazing. Once it went dark er retired to the van to watch a film only tonight we couldn't. As we have been driving I've had my laptop plugged into an inverter which has charged the batteries. If I needed to top them up when we arrived I also have a solar panel and battery pack, between the two we have full power so watching films is easy. But because we aren't driving we are relying on the solar panel and battery alone, this isn't a problem if it's sunny but over the past few days we have been in the shade so we don’t have enough power for our films.

            Vicki lifted out the cards, after a game I was already bored. I noticed the tiny TV that was in our van had a USB port, could this stop Vicki from making me play cards? I had a pen drive in my bag and I copied a movie across onto it, plugged it in and, nothing. Nothing happened, all it did was slideshow a few scanned in documents I had before we came to Australia.  Looks like a night of playing cards.
