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 😉

Missing you Mazy Loads of love & support @Mazarita

Re: Exo's Exposé

Thank you everyone I've sent the email explaining that I don't make phone calls & that I only have a mobile phone & really am only after a text once a week. I left my number, which I know means I could get a call, the thought makes my insides swirl, but it's done. The only 2 souls that have stuck by me could be the only 2 souls that are stuck by me. I have to try.

Love to you all

Thank you all for being there for me & supporting me

I haven't heard from the telephone service, maybe my not making phone calls is a problem . . . well, I know it's a problem, makes life a lot more difficult than a person might think.

I've put the little gazebo back up, out where I park the car; I want to figure out a way of attaching it to the back that I can unattach easily, in case I want to use the car when I'm at a camping spot. I also found a little tent that I want to look at using the bendy tent poles I have used to put a tarp up on the roof racks to sleep under {it fits my mattress} - it's a summer thing, but it means the Staffy can have the canopy all to himself & I still feel safer, as I leave the back of the canopy completely open & anyone approaching the car would be greeted by him . . . & the everyday citizen doesn't know if he's a savage pit bull or not 😉

I got the shopping done yesterday, the day before I started in, luckily stopping at my little town & discovering it was Labour Day before I went the extra 1/12's drive to the next little town & back. It's always a shock to me, even though it happens every fortnight, that I spend more on tobacco products than I do for the entire households groceries! It's an expensive way to end . . . but at least it's legal 😉

Love to all that need or want it

Re: Exo's Exposé

It seems inefficient in this day and age that you cannot get a text message and it has to be a phone call @Exoplanet - surely with technology the way it is that should be possible

@Exoplanet Hi Exoplanet if I was greeted by a American staffy I would have a heart attack on the spot:o! so it is very wise to have him there as a precaution when you are camping by yourself. greenpeaxxx

Hello @Exoplanet

Thank you so much for continuing to tag me and my apologies for not responding earlier.

I have just logged back in and read back over your posts.

Not quite sure what telecross is...am assuming some sort of communication link with emergency services or check in?

Your set up sounds incredible.

You would be such an asset at the annual camping outdoors ...travelling or whatever it is referred to as ...exhibition...

Your love for nature and love for your beautiful animals is a credit to you...

I too am influenced immensely by my environment and have a strong connection with all animals.

I have become more active and at the same time tired at the mid afternoon.

Each day each week is becoming busier.

Life is finally returning to me in one form or another...

I am still am ....that is what counts at the end of the day

as are you

along with all others....

@Exoplanet you truly matter and receiving a response from you is a warm welcome when I can log in.

I am sorry that I have not left you messages ...have just supported your posts only..

I am here now....here for you as you have continued to be for me..

You are such a strong person...far stronger than you are aware physically and within your mind...

take care...

along with your precious animals..

I believe in you....

💙💛💚💜🐾

@Sophia1 Your message felt like a precious flower bud blossoming, it's always wonderful hearing from you, & as I read each word it was as if the petals uncurled - revealing a truly magnificent beauty I'm glad you've become more active & life is finally returning to you - your right, we are & as long as we are, we still can be.
