We normally get three breaks in the mayhem that happens on the camps roads and it all seem to coincide with meal times. The noise dosen't die down, (when have kids ever eaten in silence???) just the rush of the little buggers doing side slides and wheelies. We time things to perfection, jump on the bike and out of the camp without having to zig-zag round a single pink bicycle. Lin spotted one or two opp shops on the way in and even if we got to squish a few kids ta get there, she wants to check um out, first stop "the salvo's", yea, even the sally army's got an opp shop, big bleeder to. OK the Salvo's done and what a bit of luck, there's another opp shop right next door and in we go. Out of there and would you believe it, there's one across the road...... (bugger this). To cut a long story very short, we must have ended up going round about six opp shops and the bike's where we left it, about a mile down the road. Believe me, when we got back to the bike we both could do with a drink, so we make our way over to the shopping centre, park the bike and set off to find the local eatery. Joy can come in small packages and for Lin its an OP shop, it also seems she gets a lot of them small packages, cos even as we come out the car park she spots another one and once again, in she go's. When she comes out, she's all a fluster, seems the've got a bag in there they want forty bucks for and there was one just like it in one of the other opp shops for four dollars. Now she just got to have it. Stuff all this, I ain't going no where till food and drink have passed me lips. Next thing I know I'm sitting in a restaurant with a plate of ribs in front of me, blatant bribery I call it, but it works, Almost as good, we picked up the sodding bag in the first opp shop we revisited.
The camps just as busy as when we left it, except the wind's picked up a bit. Lin's calling it a cool sea breeze but as I watch the tent being blown from side to side and back and forth, I'm not so sure, still with the weight of me and Lin to hold it down, I cant see a problem, but for now I'm off for an hour or so's fishing. I'm not down there to long before Lin creeps up behind me holding her new noodle float which she's dying to try out. In she go's and the floats doing its job, just one snag, theres a hell of a current here and if she ain't careful, she could be in Brisbane a couple of days early.
Me and my noodle....
a Man and his thoughts.....
The day is over and the sun is going down..
Love to everyone..... xxxx
