Day 45 - Freshbloke
Monday, July 9, 2012 at 05:21AM Ha, my wife thinks she is soooo funny, remember a few blogs ago I called her “Miss Flannelette 2012” well guess what she bought me? My very own pair of striped Flannelette pyjamas! Check out the pictures, especially my Hugh Hefner pose on the bed, lucky my tackle didn’t fall out as these things have no fly! How do you other blokes wear these jammies? Oh dear…is all I can say!!
Annie is fully mobile now, she does a sort of Seal crawl where she crawls on her belly, pushes with her legs & lifts with her arms all at the same time. That means that now unless she is confined to the Van we have to keep an eye on her constantly because for those of you who have ever had kids know, they will always got to the place they are not meant to go! Today Ness & I were sitting outside under the awning & Annie took off underneath the caravan, she thought it was hilarious. I was calling for her to come out but she just looked at me and smiled!..... what are we in for with this one?
We are moving again tomorrow, off to Tom Price, but we will be based there for 3 whole weeks. I’m not sure if I’m going to enjoy it or not, I mean we won’t have to travel to different places, but after a week I might get bored of the same place? I guess we will just have to wait & see. But the good thing is that there are lots of things we can do on days off, Karajini National Park is driving distance, and there are several day trips we can do in the 4WD from TP. Woo Hoo, real 4WDing in the Pilbara! Can’t wait!!!

Juan is having a birthday today, and celebrating in style. He is in Las Vegas with Rob & they are staying at the Bellagio. Ness had to explain to me what the Bellagio was! Bet you can’t get Chips & Gravy there! Happy Birthday Juan! Love to you and all the family. Enjoy Celine….
Nikki finally worked out how to leave a message on the blog, wow Nikki it’s been 4 years! But we got all of your other messages too so no prob, it gets to us either way. We laughed about your trip in the car with Charlotte, we think you are due for a trip to Melbourne…. But you & Charlotte have to drive, Rob & Sebastian can fly!
Hey Meredith, how did you go with the stairs? Hope they worked out ok. Oh and did you get your worms sorted? I won’t tell anyone about your little problem.
Rob, have you looked at the AFL Ladder this week?
My sister Georgia is on holidays, but she doesn’t need to go anywhere as she lives in the beautiful Menindee Lakes. She has her future daughter in law currently visiting & is quickly learning to cook Thai food!
Dan won his footy yesterday, that is 2 games in a row they have won. Awesome Dangaz, keep it up mate, I’ll be home by finals time.
Brad W, I know your phone is missing…. Give us a call mate, or send a number I can call you back on.
Sue F, have not heard from you for a while, Angie? You too, Mel from Bris? Sarah F? Granny? and all of you who have not messaged for a while….. We miss you as much as you miss us!

Hello people’s. I’m a bit stressed today. My Dad was not here again this morning? He must be really scared of my Mum because since she told him to keep it quiet in the mornings I have not even heard him leave. But that’s not the reason I’m stressed…. I’m getting too big for some of my clothes. How does this happen? I mean I really really like some of my stuff, what will I do if I can’t fit into it? I know Mum & Dad will get me new stuff but what about things I grow attached with! I think I’m like my Dad with this, he has some T shirts with holes in them & Jeans that are faded & worn & stained and he won’t let Mum throw them out.
I found a new place to play, today I crawled under the box on wheels, wow it was so fun under there. Mum & Dad were calling me to come out but it was fun being under there so I stayed!
I found out about Aboniginies today, I was wondering why some of the people here had dirty faces and hands, but it is because their skin is brown! Dad told me that the Aboniginies were here long before, white skinned people came here and they actually are the real owners of Stralia. So that makes me think why do all of the peoples who own mining companies have white skin? I mean if the Aboniginies were the first people here shouldn’t they own all the ground and the stuff that is on it and in it? Maybe I’ll think about it for a while and talk about it in another blog.
Lots of hugs

Nice Jim Jams!
You think I'm blonde. There is a Lebanese family at charlottes school called The Khoury's and Charlotte thinks they are aborigine and keep asking why they aren't black. God love her!
Hello miss Annie and her mummy and daddy!
Sounds like you are having a great time. Mum and I miss you at mothers group! I am crawling everywhere too....it's fun crawling fast to get away from mum.... Mum won't let me any where near her keys anymore....can't understand why????? I like the idea of having your own pet. Mum wants lots of animals but daddy says no we have enough with dogs, guinea pigs and turtles, but he won't be able to resist when I ask, will he???? Mum doesn't think so and can't wait to corrupt me with her love of pets!!! We love reading your blog and looking at your pictures! Keep having a wonderful, safe trip, keep buying new shoes ( mum wants some dunlops for me now!!! )and I will look forward to seeing you in time for your first birthday
Love Archie xoxo
Thanks for a great laugh! B1

Thanks for making me jelious regarding 4WD in the best country on earth and probably in one of the best areas in this country ,
Mate i know that you could fill three weeks on the dirt over in the west you could prbably spend three years .....
how are the tyres going ?
REMEMBER TO KEEP THE SHINNY SIDE UP
Oh hi lovelies,
Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I do read the blog every day and mean to comment but then just get involved in something at work and time gets away from me.
So I went to a fantasic concert last night - Melissa Etheridge. Man, that girl can rock!!! Totally one of the best performers I have ever seen, her voice is phenomenal. 99% of the audience were butch dykes, which was quite funny as I was with my friend Amanda who is blonde and was wearing a shortish skirt. Stand out much?
If you ever get a chance to see her, go, she is really fabulous. Can't believe she has 11 albums and has been going since the mid 80's. Good on her, and 8 years cancer free too. Have decided I have a bit of a girl crush!
xx
James - Dont you DARE say anything bad about Mellissa Etheridge!
Thanks for the birthday wishes, and as for chips and gravy pretty sure you can get anything you want here! We head off tomorrow bound for Palm Springs with forecasted temps 47! Thank god The Viceroy has an amazing Pool and Spa should be a a bearable two days! Celine was last night, tonight it's Cirque de Soleil~Love.
As for AFL ladder, yes James I saw it, did you relieve my gracious reply text? Wanna meet in Sydney for round 20?!
Hahahaha
Almost as gay as your orange jacket.
And it is funny I haven't read your blog and you post about my phone.
FYI I haven't lost my phone just misplaced it lol
Mate those PJ's are shocking, the only good thing about them is the colour !!
Go Dan !!!
