Exo's Exposé

Exo's Exposé

Looking for somewhere to hide in the Forum, no offense to anyone, I'm just kinda used to my own space - it feels safer to me. I often feel like I'm 'butting in' on other threads, I want to say something but it isn't 'in-line' with the current flow of conversation.

It rained here yesterday, dogs & cats weren't falling from the sky, but the grounds wet, there's puddles in my driveway & it's soooooooo sooooooo much cooler 😄 Guru Google even promises more!! After this weird wet stuff stopped dropping from above, I took the dogs for their walk, I do this almost every afternoon, but after a storm with close lightning strikes, my main purpose is to check the fence is still upright everywhere. I'm happy to announce it was all in tip-top shape 🙂 I noticed new puddle spots all the way around, I was sad that some trees had to be pushed over for the fence line, but the dip of their absence looks quite beautiful with a drop of moisture shimmering within. When I had completed the usual circuit I by-passed returning into the house-yard & wandered through to the dam. I think I may have been a little rain-drunk, I was hoping to see water in it, there wasn't any. I even went & stood in the very center of it's base, I think I was expecting to sink in mud - I didn't; but the cracks are gone . . . & they were huge. So if the Guru comes through with it's promise, there may yet be a puddle for my Staffy to play in 😉

I've decided to leave my camping trip to the beach for another week, rain wouldn't stop me - it rarely rains 24 hrs a day, but storms have - they often have devastingly strong winds that can break off & pick up reasonably heavy objects, that become dangerous ammunition. I've been emailing with the owners of this place, I'll still be in the off-peak season if I leave it another week - though I worry being so close to the Easter holiday, there's a more likely chance of more people. I keep telling myself I've just got to 'get over' that, that that would be all part of the experience - but I know I'm lying to myself. I picked this spot mainly because of the dog-friendly off-lead beach, but also because on the satelite view of Google maps I could see that there's no towns around it. It's one of the most isolated camping parks I've seen {that's within 5 hours of home, well - maybe just a little more}. It also admits it has old amenities, I saw negitive feedback about the place for those reasons - I think if you want to go to a resort . . . that's where you go - not to a place that describes itself as a rustic, old fashioned bush camping park 😉

I had a short & sudden storm here yesterday, well it was more a burst of strong wind, which I don't get much of out here. When strong wind does happen, trees do tend to topple & 1 came down on my house yard fence - took out the corner post & I'm pretty sure it's too big for me to do anything about it. I contacted the fella that did my property fence & he's gonna come out Friday, have a look & give me an idea how much it'll cost to fix it. I was actually outside when it happened, it fell down right in front of me! It came down with quite the CRASH BANG!!! Scared the livin' daylights out of me! I had to go past where it had fallen to get back to the house, which was what I was trying to do from shortly after I took off for the walk & the wind started. I'm really darned broke at the moment, I've got more debt than I have savings - but I need the fence up, my thought & emotional process will deteriorate without it . . . my puppies can get out & it feels like there's a giant aerial neon sign saying 'YOU CAN GET IN HERE!'. Dam & bugger . . . this is not a good feeling 😞

The fence is fixed!!!!! I'm so impressed! I'd arranged for the man who did my property fence to come out & have a look at the damage the tree had done & give me an idea how much it would cost to fix it . . & he fixed it - that afternoon! for 50 bucks!!! He had all the gear in his ute; chainsaw, couple of star pickets, wire, clips & a wire tensioner . . . & he just did it! He used the star pickets & wire to put the corner post back up; & some clips & the wire tensioner to re-attach the strainer wires & then clipped the netting back to the strainer wires & TA DA! So the aerial neon sign has been switched off & my bubble of safety is restored 😄
