Day 62 Newman & civilization
Saturday, April 10, 2010 at 05:29AM You guys have no idea how much you take for granted! This morning Ness ducked up the shops, bought a newspaper, posted some letters that we have needed to post for a week, went to the chemist! Just to get a fix of cosmetics, skincare, makeup and nail polish...didnt buy anything but it was sooo good to browse. The last week on site we have really missed being able to do these things, the only down side to it is we actually have to pay for food now! No going to the mess and just eating what we want. Yesterday when Ness & I were in the cafe we bought a couple of little snacks & 2 soft drinks, it cost us $18.75..... What the!!!
St George won last night!..... How unusual!!! Enjoy it while it lasts dragons supporters!
My mum & Bert are looking to put Ducted Heating in the house, I don’t know why.... they have just been to Scotland in minus 15 degree temperature, and they are both Scottish so they should be able to cope with the cold!....... Mum do what you told us to do all those years ago..... Put another jumper on!
There has been a fair bit of wind here today, when you look out towards the bush all you can see is a reddish haze, it looks like the wind is stirring up the Pilbara dust & creating beautiful colours.
Oh the other thing that has changed since we got back into civilization is that we now have to pay for washing our clothes! $3 a load!!!! Now that is a business, I might look into buying 100 commercial pay washing machines & plonk them at caravan parks under some sort of license agreement! And they charge you for dryers too! Silly to use them though as the clothes dry on the line in 20 minutes in this heat & wind!
I’m not feeling well today, a bit stiff & sore and no energy. Hopefully it is just a passing thing, both Ness & I have been reasonably healthy & well on this trip. Maybe my body does not cope with civilization, maybe I have to move to the bush? Dan you want to come live with us in the middle of nowhere?
Not much to write about today, we ended up just vegging out at the caravan park today, I read the paper, I went shopping, for a swim and read my book in the pool & we watched Sandra Bullock’s movie....the one she won an Oscar for, not sure why... she acts the same every movie she is in, I reckon they just felt sorry for her cause she has not won one yet!
Speak to you from Perth!...... Yeah!!!! Cant wait to go shopping!

I hope you are not talking about the movie 'on he blindside' - that was a brilliant movie and a true story - I agree with Rob - Break your fingers if you are bagging Sandra.
PS: her husband needs his parts fed to him for breaky - what a pig!
PSS: its ok to show your feminine side and admit you cried while watching the movie
Plenty more wins for the Dragons to come mate..............and Storm got their ass kicked by the Titans, we play the Titans this Friday and we will beat them !!
P.s. Rob is right, Sandra is great !!
dad i am commenting on all your blogs cause i never rember to check them but granny is old so she should get ducted heating :P
