As far as viruses go it was pretty mild. Two days of feeling terrible, headache, sore throat and aching bones… that’s about it. My sub-six month old nephew handled it like a champion too, creating the phrase, ‘ a baby could handle it’.

Obviously, looking at the news reports, not all babies can handle it.

And Beemoh, as an NHS employee, I can confirm that crackling is due to an absence of NHS staff as they aer all off with the ‘flu… still it should mean immunity for when the full wave hits as the schools and students return in September.

How was the virus? As one of the relatively few ppl that have had it, how do you feel?

Better now though.

Chasing the Emu sounds like some sort of drug euphemism. Do you have photos of your fossils?

Me, I am still 1000km north of Perth in the bush. Found some fossils today, chased some emus a few days earlier. Only 25 or so days left before I return to the “civilised” world.

So, interesting news anyone?

Sorry, I didn’t mean to boast, just I was shown a pic of April (not that one, a much saucier one) and I was stunned at the resemblance.

Those of you with a dirty mind may wish to commence sniggering now.

Also, is it sad that one of the first things I noticed in your comment is that you say “gah” too? >.<

Gah, I should go write my girlfriend an email and process some of these photos.

Greetings from Gascoyne Junction, my home for the next 5-6weeks. If you don’t know where it is, it is precisely half way between Woop Woop and fuck knows, which puts it squarely in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere.

For those not familiar with the game you can find info here:

Suffice to say I think that this game is nothing short of stellar and I used the heroine for the prototype ‘jvgfanatic girl’ for my website oh-so-long ago. Her bungie cord fishing rod was the ultimate transportation mechanism and her uber anti-fish-odour backpack rocked.
