shocking.. disappointing and soul destroying..

Had a great time with my mates.

On my return I realised that happy don’t get you anywhere in the blog world. No-one cares when you are happy.

Dog and I stayed with lovely folks and went to see a play [three acts, Shakespeare, outdoors] he sat on mine or D’s lap throughout. In the second act there was a dog actor on ’stage’.. and sausages played a big part as well. Dog THOROUGHLY enjoyed second act.. and was dodging his head from side to side to keep an eye on sausages and the blue heeler who was onstage the whole time though did not have a speaking role. It was quite funny how engaged in the action he was.. the people in front of me kept turning around and marvelling at what a ‘thespian’ he was.
By the third act he was just wishing it was over.. but come on.. three acts.. shakespeare.. he’s only human.

Then.
Dog got lost three times in the bush over 14 hours. The last time [this morning - he had promised he was only going out for a slash] was for several hours.. and when he finally heard my voice calling him he cried like a bitch.. [pun intended].. when that boy cries he splits eardrums.. and can be heard in Adelaide.

Dog and I safely home having made an impromptu detour through a town 45kms away that is named after my best friend’s cat [or the other way around].. and realisation that they have a lake WITH water [a geographical novelty in my part of the world] and a very very gorgeous looking pub.
Here was I all the while thinking the town would be a wheat silo and a toilet block like so many other ‘towns’ around here..

Had a snooze when home.. woke up with the most interesting premise for a theatre piece I have had in a long long time.. about a little town in the Mallee who can cure depression.
Spending a lotttt of time looking for caravans on the internet for an arts project in 2010.
Ohh and still being ‘pursued’.. instead of drive-bys, I get inane and constant emails..

Yep.
That’s mine and the dog’s round up.
