Cyclone Chloe, Hurricane Sam & Tornado Tom

I went with my mother up to near Launceston, to Hadspen. After over two hours on a rural bus up the Midland Highway I was only too happy to see my brother-in-law rock up in the Police 4 wheel drive and greet us. Michael even switched on the siren just for us. Cool.

Then I saw my neice and two nephews and gave them their present from their Uncle Paul:

They were totally stoked. Although Sam knows all about baseball we then went into the cricket field over the back fence and played soccer for a long time because the Cardinals are are world famous soccer team from South America. I also learnt the the script to Cars off by heart, sang every song I thought I had forgotten from my teenie years [but 'Dem bones dem bones dem dry bones I hear the word of the Lord' has been changed to 'X-ray, x-ray, See that skeleton' F.Y.I. if you ever find yourself babysitting], wiped bums, bribed demons and slept in bunk beds. With Cars doona covers.

Then we drove back down to Hobart in the PISSING rain. And sang some more. There was a good one about marching ants though which was pretty eerie in the twighlight hours. The kids have grown out of The Wiggles. Sadly, Greg, the yellow Wiggle had to quit for health reasons. The most notable thing about Greg the yellow Wiggle is that he had a striking resemblance to Daniel Lee from 7 Year Glitch. Even Brains says so.

In Hobart the rain has almost stopped but the wind is so strong I think there will be a lot of widow makers dropping from the gum trees tonight.


These are the old dolls belonging to my sister and I. I can't remember all their names but I know my sister names on of the blond ones after the girl who was the assistant on Sale of the Century, Delvene Delaney.


Here is the weird doll belonging to my neice.
