We go the same routine with the dogs. Lin wont let me near Paris with the syringe (I still cant help thinking fat, thin. fat, thin!!!!!!) and Lucy has started to clamp down with her jaws whenever I go near, she clearly don't like me giving her these tablets and I really don't like the way she looks at me when I do. Still, got to be done.
Lin's gonna have a lazy day, so I throw me rod in the car, set the sat-nav for Wellington point and set off for a bit of fishing. Half way there the sat-nav has a hissy fit and develops a stutter. I've never had a sat-nav like this and can only describe it as rude and abrupt, and if it tells me I'm speeding in that tone of voice one more time, I swear I'm gonna kick its chips in. Its like having two wife's..... (or one and a half. Now the screen's gone blank, OK, the place is well sign posted so there shouldn't be a problem. I don't believe it. Even though the screen's blank and its no longer doing the turn left and right bit, The bloody thing is still having a go for me driving to fast.......If this keep on, I'm gonna have to take it shopping to shut it up.
As soon as I arrive, I realise my mistake, Its new years day and all the shops are shut, so where do the Ozzie's go?, Down to the only bit of beach for miles. (What the hell happened to endless beaches?). Oh well, I'm here now so I make me way along the pier and edge a couple of kids out the way. The place is packed, rods sticking over the pier like a huge porcupine, but nothing seems to be happening. I've been there for a couple of hours and ain't even got a bite. Suddenly the bloke behind me hooks a fish, Looks like its Moby dick by the way things are going, he's being pulled up and down the pier fighting the bloody thing. After about half an hour, he finally gets it to the steps and hauls his catch up. Now I recon someone must have swapped the monster this guy caught and put this on his line, I've eaten kippers not a lot smaller. Still, the blokes as pleased as punch and that's what counts. After cleaning his monster, the guy turns into a master fisherman, walking along the pier giving fishing advice to everyone (want it or not, yer gonna get it) 'Yer lines to heavy', 'yer hooks to small', 'naw, baits no good',' don't cast to far'. I'm just hoping someone nicks his fish and tackle while his gone, least we'd get some peace.
I've had enough, so back to the car and reset the sat-nav. Much to my surprise, the dam thing seems to have sorted itself out, well apart from the moaning about me speed, so I root through the car and come up with a relaxation CD, whack it in the player and crank it up. I wonder what people thought as I passed by with birds cheeping, wind russling through the trees, whale's whistling and some old bat telling me I'm driving to fast....
Back at the house, Lin's had her restful day. Back to back Law & Order since I've been gone.... She's not only chilled, she's planing to take her bar exam.
Ok, just so you get the idea of where we are staying for a few weeks.. here you go.. The stairs leading down from the family (living) room to the garden...
