Ten Things to do at the Todd Rd. Service Station While Waiting for the RACV

1. Play Scrabble.
2. Brouse the merchandise at the shop.
3. Have lunch at KFC.
4. Watch the myriad fault messages flashing on the car's dashboard.
5. Spend money over the phone.
6. Meet new people who all happen to drive yellow vehicles.
7. Update your Cloud Collectors book with your recently collected Astrocumulus and Kelvin-Helmholtz.
8. Make a video.
9. Explore new toilet facilities.
10. Realise lots of things are not really worth worrying about.

All we can control is the way we react. So, it turns out there is actually quite a lot to do at the urban island more commonly known as the service station. The battery was flat. We just had to wait. And yes, I think I have a Kelvin-Helmholtz. You be the judge:
