Plus it gave me an excuse not to do the supposed voluntary but mandatory overtime (work that one out) we .are supposed to parttake in at the Post Office tonight... told erm I would be Pissed, so I wont bother turning up as you will only send me home.

So whats your highlight this week.

My week, like my year has been shite. Highlight was First Born getting her Ps. If you knew the possibly aggro that may cause and stress it will cause, you'll realise it's not actually a highlight at all but as they say in Monty Python.......

Congrats to her, L goes for his in january but hes only got 81 hours in his logbook so I am driving outback with him to get up another 20 odd hours or so. Dont want to go coastal due to holiday traffic so outback in the truck it is, Ive got some RM williams gear from the oppy and a cowskin hat If I have to go outback again I might as well look the part.

Thats not my highlight of course, that is my trip to Melb late sunday, cant wait, cool rain instead of hot rain for a start, lots of rels there from OZ and UK. One is an uncle out from UK hes touring OZ for a few months, basically backpacking and hes only 78 !!! Should be interesting to chat to.

We've had rain every weekend for many, many weeks it seems - I think your wish might be granted!

My highlight has been the rellies we have had staying for the last 5 weeks have moved on to Sydney! Woo hoo. Love em dearly, but if they wanna come again they can stay in a caravan.

Having people you dont really know, stay for that length of time is NOT recommended, at all, ever! Don't do it.
