Day 26 - Work in Collie
Wednesday, June 20, 2012 at 07:42AM Raining here….What’s it like where you are? Last night we heard the pitter patter of raindrops on the van roof….. That’s a funny word, do you ever wonder where words come from or who used a particular word….One that I always think about in this context is dickhead….I mean who would have thought to combine those two words to describe someone that was maybe previously described as a goose…. Or an idiot! I reckon my brother in law Brad has come up with a few unique words in his life…his brain works that way, it is sort of two dimensional…he can think on two planes at the same time….trouble is no one else is on the same planes as he is & they just don’t understand him!... except me mate, I understand you.
Anyway I’m getting off track…. It has rained all day & night & as I went to work today Ness had no car so she got caught in the rain on the way back from the shops. I think it is good to get soaked occasionally…..and I’m sure Annie will enjoy playing in puddles & rain many times in the next few years. Reminds me of one day when me & Ness were in the lounge room watching TV when it was pouring with rain…and out on the front lawn we saw the footy flying through the air. My son Dan had put his raincoat on and was kicking the ball in the pouring rain! Good healthy fun!
My eyes are really sensitive to onions…. Tonight when I came into the van Ness had been chopping onions, now we are in a fairly enclosed space so some of the onion gas got into my eyes. It was soooo painful; I was rubbing them & crying. This has happened to me a few times in the last 12 months, are there any eye specialists reading this? Can you give me some hints? I never used to have problems with onions…..now it seems to really get to me…Car air con has a similar effect, not as stingy but still red & sore. Anyone got any eye tips for me?
Hey we just got back from a drive around town….just saw the funniest thing. Bunbury is a nice place, beautiful beaches a well laid out CBD & the outlying housing estates seem to be fairly nice….. Until today, we drove past the most hideous entrance to a housing estate we have both ever seen? There were these two oversized concrete naked chicks at the entrance! They were disgusting….I said to Ness “I couldn’t drive home to this every day” have a look at the photos Ness posts & you will see them…. It’s Gross!!!
Butter chicken for dinner tonight……Not bad for trailer park trash!
Go GWS on the weekend. I think I’ll join Annie up to the Giants. I don’t think so….

Sue advised us that Melbourne had an earthquake, its funny because Ness just happened to be checking her Facebook page & it just went crazy with messages…so we sort of experienced it “Live” And Sue…Not sure why the post delivered that package…Must have been Annie’s Magic Flying Fairies. But glad it made you smile.
Heather told us that she threw out her favourite flannel Jammies last year!!! About time if they were the ones you went to hospital to have Sydni in….. she is now 16! Those Jammies are well & truly done.

To all of my Mothers group friends I have a question. How many colours does your poo have? Mine has heaps….and guess what, Mum tells me every time what colour it is…. She says “Good girl Annie, that is a nice beige one with bits of carrot in it” or “Oh Annie, that is a Pumpkin colour poo” what do your parents say when they change your nappy? I am not so sure I am that detailed James…
I freaked Mum & Dad out tonight, Mum dropped a disposable nail file on the floor today & I found it and put it in my mouth & then pulled it back & forward over my teeth! It felt awesome…..but Mum & Dad both got this horrible look on their faces….. Mum said “No Annie…that is terrible” but guess what, she took it off me & put it in her mouth just to see what it felt like…… Adults just confuse me!
My teeth are growing, dad keeps saying I look like Bugs Bunny….Dad told me that Bugs is a cartoon from the prehistoric days. Dad tells me lots of other things that he used to watch on TV….. Do you know they had a show called Looney Toons a long time ago? I’m so glad I live in the future!
Ok goodnight to all my friends & family

Lol ! You know my brad so well, made me laugh as just tonight I made a gourmet meal and he said " that was awesome but you should have served it with a sprooky salad"
I will let you know what the hell it a sprooky salad is when HE gets around to making it
Mate, get yourself a set of swimming goggles.
You might look stupid, but no more onion problems.
Try this next time you make a "sprooky" salad !
P.s. Annie, I love looney tunes. The tasmainian Devil is the best, when he says to bugs bunny "why for you bury me in the cold cold ground?" !!
5pm in the afternoon....27 degrees, clear skies, light breeze!
Go to an optometrist and ask for solution for dry eyes , you spend too much time in the dust, your tear ducts are blocked . I loved looney tunes as well. Bleep bleep and wabbit season
