Hmm, swimming naked in the river together and engaging however you please? I’m not sure if I want more details or not!

[David]

Haha, there's really nothing much more exciting to report, sorry! But yeah, once you've been naked among a whole bunch of really pretty normal people of all ages as if it's the most normal thing in the world, you really do start to wonder why public nudity remains such a taboo. After a few minutes, you'd probably feel weirder wearing a swimsuit there.

Swimming in the river this time of year could result in serious shrinkage and re-ascended testicles.

Back in Melbourne after spending Easter up in Toc. Drove up thursday with the old girl and the mutt. Drive up was shitful, looks like lots of people had the same idea as me to head up before Good Friday.

Weather was brilliant, gotta love a tourist town where the pubs and most of the shops are open on Good Friday and local footy is on.

Had more visitors than I get at home in months. Daughters ex was up there with his new GF and called over to say G'day, Dad's sister called around with her son (my cousin) to see the old girl and mum's brother called over yesterday to say G'Day and I cooked us lunch on the new electric BBQ I took up

In between chilling I got the garden tidied up, installed a solar powered sensor light over the back door and finished putting the roof back on the car port . wind had got under it at some point and folded the roof back, tearing some of the timber. I'd painted and done some of the timber work a few months back but hadn't done the roof so I got to work, finished off the timber work and managed to get the roof back on.

Now I just got to figure out what to do with the small pile of scrap asbestos cement pieces that the blokes who did the restumping a while back kindly left for me. I'm thinking dig a hole in the carport floor, sweep it all in, add a bag of readymix to it and then cover the driveway with gravel

Got home to a message from the son, he's finally got a letter from DHHS saying he's sole carer of sharknado and he's straight onto the Childsupport agency and Centrelink. I reckon there'll be a tangible disturbance in the force when his ex realises her centrelink and child support has been cut. Next I'll have to research for him how to apply for a family court order, the forkers make it complicated.

Hopefully going back to work next week to a new contract, pulled some cash out of the non preserved part of my super to pay out the lease on the Redline so that'll help the bank balance.

Stuff is going OK.

Not wrong on the shrinkage. It was freezing! Pretty refreshing though.

In summer up there it's total fireban for months. A small electric one means I can cook outside instead of heating the kitchen up more with no naked flames. It works real well plus no pissing around with gas bottles. Even my uncle was impressed, he bought one a while back, tried it once on a steak and banished it to the shed afterwards.

Refreshing is one word for it. I don't swim in the Murray once the overnight low gets consistently below 20. In summer it's great but in autumn.............lets just say I prefer my testes descended.

Great news! Nah it's not complicated just bloody tedious - you have to complete a shipload of forms and declarations that use terminology that aims to confuse and make you lose the will to live - bit like HR

[stui magpie]

Hah, I don't do HR that way, way back when, once of the best compliments I ever got was that I had a talent for converting bureaucratic bullshit into English.

I'll get through it, I reckon a preemptive strike is better than giving her time to marshall her forces and doing constant defensive manoeuvres.
