Bump. Bump. Ker-Thump...that is the sound of ME driving along a rather rough track down to this gorgeous water hole/dam on the 190,000 acre property my parents live on. It's gorgeous and so quiet and peaceful....getting there isn't!
Lol...
I haven't driven along that track since I took Matt down there for a breakfast picnice a fwe years back. Once we got there I took off my sneakers, rolled up my pants and went for a canoe around the dam. It was pretty muddy and the canoe slipped out as I was getting in so I grab the sides of the boat and get a whopper of a splinter in my hand...a bit is still in there and it's hurting so I'll have to attack it with the splinter remover later but I'm being a bit of a woose and avoiding it at the moment! :)
Oh and did I mention that the dirt had loads of prickles out there? Sore feet too! Lol...I'm a sook huh? Well, anyway, the FUN part was getting the dirty tennis ball and rubbing it in Lydia's hair...
Now for the red dirt part...here's a visual.
That isn't our place but that's the kind of colour the dirt is around here...so now imagine that in runny mud...all over my feet and legs...and I haven't yet washed so I'm feeling pretty grubby! :) It was a fun adventure!
And now my culinary skills are being called on to cook spaghetti bolonaise!

(My sister refering to the fact that the jumper I'm about to take off Lydia's hands is one she LOVES and couldn't wear for a couple of years anyway.)
I love my sisters!
I don't know about the rest of you but Matt seriously needs some cooking lessons...and how to look after leftovers. :-S
I am enjoying my time outback. It's quiet! No traffic, smog, trains or anything like that! It's great! :) And I have a pile of frozen meals to cook up for the kids and I hope I have better luck than Mr. Matt! Lol....
Well, just wanted to check up on Quark & Bromley. How are they doing Matt?
at convincing me that riding the trains is a wonderful way to go...but nada...it ain't working...
We bought a car...for ME!
The Queen of this castle...to only be delayed by my lack of brain power at working out how to get around traffic jams! Muahahahaha!
You my darling husband can enjoy the psyche power of working out when that train will arrive but I shall enjoy the power that comes from getting stuck on the wrong road heading to the city and having to take a detour via the airport! And then...having the joyful experience of discovering the new Krispy Kreme Drive-Thru at the airport!! These doghnuts are really wanting us to buy them and get fat aren't they? How's that for an 8 hour shift at Coogee Bear Daycare center working with the 3 yr olds in the Polar Bear room? (and yes I didn't make up those names!)
By the way, Bromley and Quark should be happy because we pulled out the TV and watched some Olympics tonight. Way to go us Aussies with 5 gold medals already!
