A great back roads romp, Corio (I went back for an airbag!
 ) to Bacchus Marsh, through Gisborne to Romsey, then to Pyalong and cross-country to the M31 junction near Seymour.

Yesterday was a mid-20s day with a bit of wind, so not ideal to go out on the sea doo. Daughter had the day off do we wanted to do something. She's recently bought herself a tj jeep wrangler soft top, and hasn't really had a chance to do any off roading. We decide a bit of soft roading would be a good start, so headed up into the Avon - Mt Hedrick Natural Features and Scenic Reserve and visit a place called the Channels.
Such a beautiful spot and it feels like there's no one else around at all. You can see why it's named what it is. Had a great day with my daughter.

My youngest boy scored himself an interview at my workplace. He finished up about an hour ago but he feels it went well and they told him he conducted himself well in there and should be proud he got the interview on merit for his age (17, but nearly 18).
I am stoked for him because he did it all very calmly and seems really enthusiastic about it all. I woke up stressed, he was fine. |

Sitting down after tea, trying to find a new battery for my brother (his personality is a bit flat, ha ha). Repco NZ were having a flash sale and there it was, 25% off. Got him some ether spray as well; both put on Click and Collect to a store near him. The old man’s holiday car will live again!

Yesterday. Starting up the trucks one at a time to rewake them from their Summer slumber. Everything popped straight off.
Even the panel van started after only 3 pumps of the go pedal. Just have to remember how to drive now after 3 month away.

Not so much “feel good” as surprise followed by a chuckle.
I’d been busting for the fifteen minute drive home from work. Squared up to the porcelain, unfastened my attire and relaxed the relevant muscles. EXACTLY as flow commenced, someone nearby started up a diamond wheel cutting tiles or similar. The perfect timing momentarily shocked me into wondering what on earth was happening down there. Laughed out loud when I realised it was nothing related - not a flurry of tiny kidney stones or anything. But a good coincidence. |

Then they squeezed half a litre of fluid into my bladder so they could measure flow rate. Very, very, uncomfortable, nearly pi$$ed the bed. Pretty interesting though, seeing your plumbing up on the big screen.

Either way, keep visualising Margaret Thatcher in the shower to avoid embarrassing complications.

Bit disconcerting if you're not into that. Always been a female Dr or nurse. Oh well, life is full of new experiences.
