Hey Ho, How are you all? Isn't it terrible how we take things for granted. You know just little everyday things but when they go wrong Oh My what a drama it is. Things like pooing for instance. I never think about it.................. Feel the urge and off I go except I cant go and now I have a whole lot of stuff natural and otherwise to get me back on track which is all very well until you get hit with the uh oh moment while you are out. Ok so you get the message on that one. My in laws are here from NZ at the moment. We have been doing the tourist things which brings me to my next bitch. I took them on a huge drive 5 hours to the southern most point of WA where there is a lighthouse. Its not all that interesting but the Southern and the Indian ocean meet so Im thinking that might be a cool place to take the sight see'ers. We get there (I'm shattered from the marathon driving effort) only to find a notice saying it is $5 per adult to stand on the grounds and $3 per child. What the! That is bullshit, I understand a gold coin donation but $23 to stand on some grass. I don't think so. So, we went and had Chinese instead. My mother in law thinks the band is terribly anti social as I had to keep going to the loo. It really does get me down a bit too but that's just the price of it I guess.
Now for bitch number 3. My 18 yr old son (the one that is going to be a dad in 4 weeks) has been laid off from his job. So the local paper ran an article about him standing on the side of the highway with a sign that says 'hire me'. The article clearly says ' my only negative is I do not have my drivers licence'. He gets 4 offers of jobs all saying you need you drivers licence. Grrrrrrr. Anyway that's my bitch for today. Now I am off to take him around the local CBD to see if he can get some work. If you are reading this and know some labouring type work going in Perth South then please leave me a message.
PS I can eat pork crackle without it getting stuck .mmmmmmmmm..

Hey Di,

Sorry to hear you're having a rough run. Sounds like we are 'twins' right now.. life is a pain in the ar*e for me too!
Was that lighthouse at Albany? I have been there and also did what you did.. looked at the price and went to eat instead, money better spent lol
I will keep my eye out re: your son and if I hear anything I will let you know :)
Hugs (cos we all need them!)

You have to pay to stand on grass? That's appalling! Was that Albany or Augusta?

Hope things work out with your son's job hunting.
