I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived here yesterday. Over the part few years I have travelled through hundreds of small towns, and Quairading would have to be one of the prettiest. The town is spotless and the main street is lined with flowerbeds full of roses with colourful flower pots dotted along the footpath.
The small council run caravan park is in town next to a huge sporting complex consisting of football field, tennis courts, bowling club and swimming pool - all beautifully maintained as are all the gardens along the street. It is obvious that the residents are proud of their town.
It seems odd having such a large sporting complex in a small town, but I assume it would be the main sports centre for a lot of smaller outlying communities as well.
It is all very casual here at the caravan park, and at $17.50 per night for a powered site with the 3rd night free, its well worth staying. The caretaker has even told me I can let Oscar off the lead, but he is still not well so I don't want him running around.
I discovered this morning that I have been giving Oscar 400mg of antibiotics every day instead of 100mg which was prescribed. The vet gave me 30 tablets which were enclosed in foil strips containing 10 tablets each. I finished the first strip last night and opened the second strip this morning, only to discover that the tablet was much smaller. I read the description on the back and it said 50mg. I fished the empty strip out of the rubbish bin and it said 200mg. Unknowingly I have been overdosing poor Oscar all week, so maybe that it why he is still unwell. As it is Sunday today I can't ring the vet and tell her she made a mistake, but I'm just thankful that it wasn't a more potent medication that could have had dire consequences.
