Making a lattice screen for one of my windows.
Ordering some stuff online.
Drinking.

I've joined a bushwalking club.
I'm hoping I won't regret this because the two people I've spoken to so far have been quite chatty.

Have you been fishing yet?
If so, what did you catch?

Actually you are lucky in a way. If you want to function in this world it's better to get up early then late. I don't know if the term A-person and B-person is used anywhere else? In Norway we say you are an A-person if you usually wake up early in the morning, and a B-person if you tend to sleep for a long time.

Wow, you have your day all planed. That's better I guess then not having anything to do after all. That bushwalking thing sounds especially exiting! Are you going to sleep outdoors?

Yes I fished some with Anne on Tuesday. We both got one of these each



They are not very good to eat according to my grandmother, so we let them go.

I've always liked the morning and have more energy to get things done.
I tend to peter out towards midday and have a few hours rest.

You probably have your energy peak after midday.

^I'm the opposite. I like sleeping in, but I have the most energy around lunchtime or around suppertime.

That looks like a pike.
The fishing isn't bad here.
We usually catch whiting or bream, which are good eating.
The river is full of mullet but you can't catch them on a line because they're filter feeders.

I'm a bit excited about the bushwalking.
It's a river bed walk which I enjoy..
If I decide to stay I'll be sleeping in a tent.

Yes, I can see the resemblance but it's not a pike. Pike is a freshwater fish, and much bigger. You can fish pike close to here, but I've never done it. The scientific name for the fish we caught is Belone belone.

Bream is that a freshwater fish?
I think whiting might be the same as "vitting" a salt water fish we can catch here too. I never have though.

River bed walk... The first thing that comes to my mind is crocodiles??

In Norway there isn't any dangerous animals really. There are bears and wolfs, but that is not where I live, and there hasn't been a person killed by those animals in decades as far as I know.

There is no poisonous spiders, and only one poisonous snake. The snake will probably not kill you though.

My point is, I think you are very brave for sleeping outdoors in Australia where there are many dangerous creatures.

How many ciders have you had?
(Don't worry, totally understand about taking a long time to reply)

Bream and whiting are salt water fish.
The whiting is a beautiful colour, like a silvery-white, but a small fish, so you have to catch 20 to get a decent meal, but they're worth it because they taste very 'clean'.

I probably should have said creek bed, too far inland for crocodiles.
The snakes and spiders usually leave you alone if you leave them alone.
You need to be sensible, like you would never leave your shoes outside, shake your clothing out before putting it on, etc.
they haven't killed

So apparently I'm buying two video games tomorrow. So much for my willpower. [But in exchange, I'm giving up two that I don't play any more.]

^^I've had 4 ciders 0.5 liters. The alcohol percentage is 4.5
That's one more than usual. I get drunk of very little

Oh, maybe the whiting is more like a herring then? Soon the mackerel will be here. I love them.

Good luck then! hope your companions are not too chatty, and it turns out to be a good experience

I'm a rambling, gaming girl! [That's a Pokemon reference...that only I will get. ]

...me yet.
Totally forgot to finish that.

^Well, that's a relief, otherwise Quil would be raving about you being a zombie.

I thought you'd tempted fate and been bitten mid-post.

hi, all. not been here muc ately. mom intensive care and husband in getting chemo. luckily in same hospital. not a good month for me, but not complaining as better than both of them.

^^Hugs and love for all three of you.
