There is NOTHING like that first use of your home toilet & shower after 10 days of using communal facilities at a camp site.

Then the sounds (or silence) of home. Wonderful.

To sit on your own couch after camp chairs. Bliss.

Finally your own BED & doona & pillow.... Happiness.

#fishing #newbie

So, with the help of youtube, I've set up 2 telescopic rods with sinker, swivel & hook each.

But! The line btw my sinker/swivel and the hook is longer than the rod when it's collapsed.

Therefore they cannot go into the smaller rod bag I have. But they are ready to go.. So... Win?

I don't fish. Never have.

But I'm keen to introduce my son.

So here I am, with a new basic telescopic rod, searching youtubes for how to prep the rod for fishing.

I'm 51yo.

After spending too much time confirming its authenticity, I am blown away by the letter written to the Norwegian PM by #DJT

I have nothing positive to say about it.

I predict half the planet will end up dead very soon unless leaders come together and remove this guy & anyone remotely like him.

Camping a long way from home.

Instant Mum-mode initiated.

Don't get me wrong: the sound of the waves is nice and the weather could be worse...

But I would give a lot of $$$$ for my headphones & Oodie.

Just a tad cold & bored.

Back to my sudoku. Will bust out the family games soon.

So it's almost 6pm and raining quite heavily. And will continue to be heavy till around 11pm.

Not worried about it. Had a snack so feeling ok. Tent is doing well.

Off camping for the next few days.

Tent is up and I'm already annoyed at the excess stuff we brought with us.

But with a forecast of 10-80mm of rain over the next 3 days we *might* be grateful for it all.

God, I hate camping.

Huge success with donating linen and other misc items.

Found gumboots that fit my son - a bit of a feat when in summer in Australia.

C25K done. W4D2.

11:58pm & craving toast with butter & vegemite. But I'll jist go to bed instead...

From everything I've read this sounds soooooo GOOD and should be made sooner rather than later.

I'm old enough to appreciate sitting in the back seat.

Don't have to engage. I can nap. Don't have to look up anything. Get anything. Be 2nd set of eyes. Don't have to hold the drive thru order.

Just get to sut and chill.

Normalize taking music lessons from your friends. You get to hang out and also support a friend in their life as a musician. it's awesome. They have a lot of knowledge.

I've got family just south of Kinglake (5km) & even though no order has been given to evacuate I just wish they would.

I also am wondering about how the VicEmergency app & associated staff is holding up. Haven't seen an update for awhile.

Goodnight & good luck all.

I regularly watch the locall news & my son is in the room with me, usually on his ipad with headphones.

Yesterday he asked me to turn the tv off. He was upset. Between news of poss war, car accidents, bushfires, cyclones & flooding & all sorts of bad news he had enough.

I turned it off. I get it.

Old Kevin Bacon & Old Ethan Hawke need to make a movie together.

Drama. Comedy. I don't care.

I just know it would be EPIC!

Ooooohh.. Maybe a US version of what Tennant/Sheen did!

Please note that "old" is not an insult here. They are maturing like beautiful wine.
