Day 52 - TPTP
Monday, July 16, 2012 at 09:02AM Good evening, and I mean that literally, some people say “How ya goin?” & we say “Good mate” but we don’t really mean it….I mean you might have had a crap night’s sleep or a fight with your partner or a friend someone says “How are you?” and you say “Great thanks.”
Tonight I say it honestly and hope you are having a good evening (Or morning if you read this tomorrow).
Hey how many of you have used communal bathrooms? I was in the bathroom tonight, now picture this, you have a corrugated iron shed 25m long by about 8m wide. At one end is the wheelchair bathroom (which is quite nicely set up) then the laundry is in the middle then you have the Male & Female toilets & showers. Now the roof is tin & there is a 3ft gap between where the walls end & the roof. So what I’m trying to say is you can hear everything, and I mean EVERYTHING! Have some people got no pride?
When I go to the bathroom & I have to do number 2’s I try to do it as quietly as possible, even if I have wind…. If I know there is a chance that someone will hear me I try to be extra silent!
But some people!!!!.....TONIGHT I HEARD SOME BLOKE PLAYING THE TROMBONE IN HIS CUBICLE! It was disgusting, it had several different octaves and went for ages! Jesus Christ!
Have you guys over east been hearing about the shark attacks over here in WA? Now my sympathies are with families of anyone who loses a loved one, it’s just not right. But if you are going to put yourself in a position where a dirty great big shark can come and eat you…..Why should we then hunt and kill the shark? Sharks have been in the ocean for thousands and even millions of years, dickheads on fibreglass have been acting as bait for only a hundred years or so. So who’s turf is it? In the papers the other day the headline was “Police hunt killer shark”….. I get a mental image of a shark with dark sunnies on & a fag hanging out the side of its mouth. But seriously why do we have to kill a shark for doing something it has done for millions of years? Leave it alone guys. If you don’t want to get eaten, go to a swimming pool, or to somewhere you won’t get chomped!!!
Hey Egg & Pete A, guess what happened today? We were sitting in the caravan park outside in the 25 degree heat (Yes 25 degrees!!!) and this Roadside assist truck pulled into the park with a caravan attached to it….. But guess what it had on the back?.... yes you guessed it, A Discovery 2!!!! It brought back memories! (For those of you who don’t know, on our last trip our old Disco broke down and had to be towed with the van on the back!) I got some photos as I knew you guys would understand! No smart comments please.

Alan N said I need to come back so Melbourne Storm start winning again…. No Alan they need Billy back not me!
Cath & William said hello…..Hello back guys, see you soon. Congratulations on the recent engagement Cath…awesome news!! Hope the ring doesn’t take too much longer to be resized.
Tereasa said she wishes she was here, I do too T, there are heaps of places I want to go but won’t go by ourselves. If you guys were with us we could go to really scary places! And Jack is just growing up, everyone is different, Jack is his own person & will find his way.
And Sandy checked in on Panda for us. Thanks Sandy, can’t wait to see her when I get home.

I’m sick of crawling around on my tummy, so the other day I decided I was going to stand up more. So for the last few days every time I can, I stand up. Mum & Dad have been blowed away by how good I am getting at standing. I still have to hold something with one hand but I’m going to try to stand up all by myself really soon.
I like that we have been here for a long time, because we now have a cool system, I wake up & then I play in my bed. But once I get bored or feel hungry I yell out to Mum or Dad to come get me, then we have a play in the bed, then Dad gets dressed in his bike stuff while Mum gives me some boob, Then Dad goes out to ride his bike & Mum puts me in my Pod or high chair with a treat, usually some banana or pear & I watch Dad ride his bike…. He says funny things to me & I laugh. Mum makes her coffee (if dad hasn’t made her one) & she makes my second breakfast. While Dad is on his bike lots of people come past on the way to the bathroom & laundry, they try to talk to him while he is riding his bike….. Some people have no brains!!
Anyway I gotta go now cause I had a big weekend & I’m so tired.
Night Night

I agree James, if you dont want to get eaten by a shark....stay out of the water! Simple
