Another long weekend with Waitangi day falling on a Friday, so we packed our bags and went camping for the long weekend. What a wonderful weekend! There were a few people camping out and we laid a Hangi on Saturday, under the watchful eye of Mr and Mrs Wilson and we had a beautiful feast on Saturday evening, along with a Kub tournament, which looks set to become an annual event, which would be really interesting.
I have started, the preliminary stages anyway, for a new story, just to keep typing and keeping things fresh. The Journey Home is on Critters website and will be critiqued by some people in the next couple of weeks, so I am excited about that, looking forward to hearing other peoples comments on my writing, style, form etc. Haven’t heard back from Sandy or Michelle yet, but they have lives too! What I should do is stack up the story so that it pops out just about every week, that seems to be the thing to do, but I think I will wait and see what they think before I do that, because if it is too savage, I don’t know if I want the rest of my precious story to be dessimated!
It is so hot here, I almost threw up last night because of the heat. It is supposed to rain here at some stage, and if it doesn’t do it soon, I think I might just find it too damn hot!
There was a funny light last night, almost an orange tinge and discover this morning that there is a large bushfire in Australia which, at this point in time, 103 people have lost their lives in. I have been praying that God will give his angels charge over these families that lost not only loved ones, but houses and contents as well. It certainly makes a normal house fire seem insignificant when you see the devastation and destruction that a rampaging bushfire can do!
