lazy day

Bit of a lazy day today, was wide awake at 3am and couldn?t get back to sleep, had to switch the light back on to a read my book for ages to get back to sleep. Body Clock away with the goalies. Weather was so bad last night thought the patio doors were going to come in. Clearly built by a pikey.

Got up late and we did a bit of shopping as dad needed a few new clothes, picked up a couple of cheap fishing rods and then went a bit of the beaten track for the rest of the day. Not quite crocodile Dundee, but more bush than suburb.

Seen my first Kangaroo today, except it was dead. Aparently they write off thousands of cars each year due to Roo damage.

Talking of cars, cant help but notice how many crosses appear at the side of the roads, I cant really understand this on account they are so straight and long. Is it because Australians are terrible drivers that cant go around corners ? Mark Webber is Australian and he can go around corners (well most of the time) so that only leaves poisonous snakes and spiders and outback killers.

Maybe people are just burying the kangaroos ?

This is causing me great concern as I had a pee at the side of the road earlier today. Not on the kangaroo or on any of the crosses by the way as that would just be wrong.

Spotted that we have creel pots on our balcony to catch things in the canals, however due to a distinct lack of bate I haven?t been able to use them. I did however notice the guy next door had caught a rather decent size fish in his, so I have liberated this fish and given it freedom.

I don?t feel bad about this as he made be the outback killer and its not technically stealing as he didn?t own the fish, it just swam into his net. So I have chopped it up and used it as bait in my pot. I will report back what happens, but if I don?t report back then all fingers must point at the guy next door.

Off out to dinner at the harbour and then hope the weather stays good as off on the houseboat tomorrow.
