17th Dec, Lost and alone, Rochdale

I'm not sure the people at home can imagine what its like to wake up in thirty five degrees of heat, let me tell ya, its hot and sticky, even with the fan going full pelt, but the saving grace is a quick cup of coffee and a dip in the pool. What a way to start the day....

I'm off fishing today and the beach is a bit of a distance, not to worry, I've found a sat nav, I type in the address (Victoria Point) and off I go. The fishing go's the same way as normal, bugger all, still its a nice day so its not been all bad. Time to go home, fire up the sat nav, press home and away we go. I'm not paying to much attention, just letting the sat nav tell me which way to go (much like Lin). Half an hour later, I get a left, right, left and "you have arrived at your desternation", I look around and where the fu*k am I?. Seems the sat nav has either been set to an old address or its been bought from someone else, all I know is, Im sure as sh*t its not where I'm suposed to be. A touch of panic sets in and for the life of me I cant remember the address of the sit and I havent got a clue what Lins phone number is, I cant even stop a copper, all I can tell em is I'm staying in Rochedale. For the next twenty minutes I'm turning the Ute upside down looking for an address and all I can find is a couple of scrap's of paper Lin's been using for notes, I go through the sat nav's recent trips with no luck and things ain't looking to good. I'm begining to think I'll just have to go down the nick and wait till I get reported missing (if I get reported missing)!!!! I go through the Ute one more time, undo one of Lin's scraps of paper and bugger me, its got the sit's address on, cor, the relief...... I punch it into the sat nav and off I go. Seems like I'm right on the other side of Brisburn and it takes over an hour and half to get back. What a day, three hours fishing, Half hour to get there and a total of two and a half hours to get back, sod that.

The pool at night.. its lovely to be able to jump into the water to cool down when ever you want too. xx

Thats all for today as Johns had too much excitement getting lost and the day is over with no piccies being taken..
