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 😉

Re: Exo's Exposé

I'm heading off to my Sister's this afternoon, I decided I didn't want to get up before the dawn & rush & panic to get there in time to visit our Aunty tomorrow. I'm also feeling a bit of discomfort, it started in my shoulder after I'd filled a couple of fire log boxes & it hasn't gotten any better. Now, if I don't take regular pain assist medication, everything aches, particularly my back, ribs & hips. Also my skins got this weird tingely feeling - my brain's going worst case senario as it does, thinking the dreaded 'C's returned. It could just be overdoing things physically with all the packing, or my Arthritus {though I've never felt it like this}; it could be my bodies reaction to my thought & emotional process going into overload or any number of other things. But it is making the physical side of things quite difficult, my Sisters place is on a steep slope, so setting up the dogs takes a lot o effort. I'm hoping I can find somewhere more up the front, where it's a bit flatter, so I don't have to cart things up & down the hill; it's another reason I've decided to go today, to give me more time, so I can take it a bit easier & slower with setting them up. How I wish she had a fence, so I could just get there & let them off . . . but she doesn't. I've got everything packed & ready to go, just a few last minute things like, pillow & dog cushions {'cause we used them last night}. It already doesn't feel real & with the discomfort I'm not really feeling even the joy of fear. I'm hoping that'll change when I get going & it will over-ride the aches when I blur.

Love to all that need or want it

I really hope this trip works out for you and you can enjoy the serenity of being near the water @Exoplanet I am glad you are going to your sister's early so you have time to set up for your fur babies. I also hope your physical discomforts are just that fear you often have before these trips. Hugs and hugs Hon

Hi @Exoplanet, thinking you might be returning from your trip about now. Will be great to see your photos when you've had a time to recover a little from all the excitement. Love to you.

@Exoplanet

wow

what a lovely place you have found and all to yourself.

I hope that the blue sky, sight, smell and sound of the ocean help you to feel calm and relaxed.

In your own special world away from everything else.

Enjoy, soak it all up and take care
