Day Four

Good morning, look at the sun. Okay I’ve stolen the line from Willy Wonka but isn’t it relevant, especially today. We have the actual sun that’s bright and white and yesterday if you could actually get a glimpse of it, it was a hazy orange. Much like my mothers orange juice when it’s come out of the juicer.

Before coming to TAFE this morning I decided to give my car a wash as it was covered with dust and was looking like Mars had taken a great big dump on it. So after unravelling the hose with its many kinks I began spraying down the car and watching the red ooze just slide off on to the ground. I imagine if I had of been in tight short shorts and even possibly a bikini top I would have had a much larger audience. Possibly even holding a sponge and periodically rubbing myself down and giggling in a high pitched tone.

By the time I had put the blasted hose away my car had not looked like it had even had had a wash down. Mars had laughed in my face and taken another dump on my car for slap and giggles. I wasn’t going to argue with Mars at this stage, as I was wet anyway and my bikini top was so wet it was starting to become transparent and I didn’t trust Mars in case he had a video camera and a direct link to YouTube! Well he is the God of War, and quite frankly I really don’t have the time to be fighting a wet bikini top competition with the God of Wars on YouTube …at the moment anyway.

Ariving to TAFE this morning I had no real music piece playing, I know that’s very disappointing and I’m sorry. Although to be honest with you I was gravelling with the looks of motorists at Moss Street staring at my wet bikini top still which hadn’t dried, and I was really quite petrified of causing an accident. What would I tell the kindly police officer when he or she arrived at the scene?

Having bought a new video camera the other week in anticipation for our holiday in a couple of weeks, one had to take it for a test drive. My father whom I shall refer to as GossipDad decided to take a couple of seconds of footage of the dog. This is wonderful, like a Spielberg moment …. In standard definition. Our camera has only two 8gb cards which I think is plenty…. in my opinion anyway. My poor parents were stressing (GossipDad and GossipMum) that two 8gb card just weren’t going to be enough and that two 32gb cards would be better. Unfortunately they didn’t have these cards in stock and would have to be ordered in. After politely smiling at the salesman who thought “Yippee! I’ve got a great up sale here” I took my parents to the side and had a rather brief but in depth talking too. “Now GossipDad and GossipMum; really how much footage of our holiday do we really want to subject our family and friends too? Sure we can get the two 32gb cards which means we can shoot for 15 hours …. Or we can simply get the two 8gb cards which will quite comfortably give us just over 3.5 hours. Keeping in mind that we will download the footage onto the laptop at the end of each day …”
They saw my point and were quite happy to get the two 8gb cards. I mean how much footage of ones holiday does want to have a look at, I would say one hour at the most. Video is like the modern day version of the 70’s home slide show …. “and this is Aunt Carrol in a blue polka dot athletic tank suit” CLICK “this is Aunt Carrol heading to the beach in her athletic tank suit” CLICK “here is Aunt Carrol procrastinating whether to walk into the water” CLICK “Oh, ha ha ha funny story here is Aunt Carrol being eaten by a Grey Nurse Shark” CLICK …

Anyway I’ll post a link to the video of our dog Chuck for you all to enjoy, should take about 30 seconds out of your busy lives.
