I wan't feeling to bright and cheery when I woke up or got out of the doctors later on.
I wanted to get out of Dodge for a bit so I rang my mate Kaye.
She had a story she wanted tell me so we went to lunch in nearby creswick.
Before we left were standing by her car.
She fumbled for the keys put her bag on the roof.
We were talking and went to take a quick look at the old diary across the road, got in the car and left.
Got to there and she noticed her bag wasn't in the car...oops!
She had her purse her phone diary medications and bunch other important stuff all in that bag.
Lunch was short and we high-tailed it home & searched all over the road near my place (and everywhere in between).
My friend isn't rich and hasn't lived here long and the only solace I could offer was...
a. I know everyone that lives on the dead-end street I live on and 1 of them must have seen it.
b. we could ring the ph and see if it gets answered!
D. we live in a small town that is full of decent people who do the decent thing if they can.
(don't get me wrong, they aren't all like that).
Anywae, we got home, I ring, no answer so we scoured the streets but found nothing.
It started raining hard and there was no point door-knocking so I served her tea, scones, a pep talk (and some cash) and she headed home.
I had another look around outside, heard the ph ringing so dashed in and picked it up.
It was a friend I hadn't seen in few months...
"Hey 3.some-one! Umm do you know a woman K.some-one?
Yupp, I've just had lunch with her... err is this about a bag?
He said "I saw it fall off the roof of a car but didn't have time to chase it down so dropped it over at her place."
I thanked him, we promised to catch up and I owe him one.
I rang K.
"Oh 3! I was just looking for your number, you won't believe it but I got my bag back!
I said" Yes I believe it, that was a friend of mine, he was driving past saw it fell off and picked it up.
Just as he was getting to your place he recognised my number and called me when he got home.
That is life in small town...(Sumdaes)
btb, for any still following/interested in the legal war* with my rubbish neighbour from hell, K had an interesting tale to tell.
"Saturday morning she flouncing around the main street flirting with any male that would give her the time of day when she suddenly had her car (a late model black Saab convertible) wheel clamped by the local police (for unpaid speeding fines).
At about 12.30 it was towed by the finance company that hasn't been paid months".
Hmmm, I thought I saw her dragging her carcass up the hill these last few mornings.
I was wondering why the sudden fitness craving...and where is her car?
Now I know! 
*went back to court last weak to see if there is any evidence I wasn't pulling out her rose bushes while she was anyway, or some such drivel.
There wasn't and will be going back again in 5 weeks time
The bright side is, after the 4th appearance we have gotten past the 5 minute mention and the mater will be heard soon,
... or so I'm assured!  |
Good stuff mate, sounds like a good day xxx |
What do you eat for lunch? Did you see the movie by Steven Spielberg? |

Pan-fried lug-nuts and a litre of Zippo lighter fluid...(I wasn't driving!)
I'm getting my tree-feller's licence there in January.
Come on up, we'll do lunch in the park! |

Stuff I ordered arrived so that's a cause to be happy, even if the interview to become a coach at the Glenorchy District Junior Football Club goes badly tonight. I played 73 games there as a kid, and next year will mark 20 years since my final game there.
I'm hoping to start a new career and help some kids with their journey into football, much like my uncle did when I was a kid. I'd certainly hope to be a better coach than my old coach and hope to have the kids at least enjoy their time playing as well as learning the game.
Should be good.

Thanks, I'm so excited to be involved, helping teach some kids the basics of football and kick starting possible future stars of the club I have loved since birth. I hope so as well, though one of the parents will be my assistant so I will have help there.

Getting home from work, eventually, and pouring a drink.
If a tertiary education improves people so much, many of the dickwads I dealt with today must have had the general skills and abilities of a moss covered rock before they got their degree.

I woke up a few daes ago and thought I'd figured a wae around my legal woes.
I did some work setting up the Lost Trades for this week-ends Childrens booktown but I had to leave early to go to the rat to see if I can actually pull a rabbit out of my hat and get my case heard on terms that mean I can actually defend myself and all the frustrating delays ended.
The answer was a very big yes, they will get the legal ball rolling and hopefully some of my problems will be ended in the next few weeks and most of it will be done pro-bono.
I was so relieved I went and bought the misses a couple of early seasons of her favourite TV show Rules of Engagement (and found out season 2 of my favourite TV show Vikings, will be available next week).
I had a great dae that was made infinitely better when I got home and picked up my local paper...
FMD!
