A View From the Edge.
The grass may be brown, the water may be muddy, but the sun is shining, a cool breeze is blowing and the birds are chirping merrily.
Everything is peaceful like a Sunday afternoon, only it's Monday and unlike myself most people are hard at work probably waiting for their lunch break.
Even the cars are calm and amazingly the motors blend into the sound of the day, even the odd rickety trailer doesn't disturb the peace, but adds depth like the birds.
It's 12 noon and the cars seem to have picked up speed, the day is halfway gone, time to rush towards the future.
Gesnes has gone in for repairs today and will be gone for at least a week. It has been merely hours since we parted and I miss him already. I have an insatiable urge to jump in and just drive. We went for a trip yesterday and found ourselves at Lake Broadwater. As we neared the boat ramp area a large open space came into view on the left, perfect in it's flawlessness, a flat plain with with short green grass spread evenly across it's entirety. As we pulled in it became apparent that this was Lake Broadwater. A reminder of the water shortages we are experiencing in the Darling Downs. The land has been claimed for the moment by Kangaroos and grass until the water returns.
My new goal in life: Conquer the Speed Ball
I attended a Circuit Breaker class at the gym this morning and finally realised my dream of hitting a punching bag. It was so awesome. I know it's kind of a silly dream but for as long as I can remember I've wanted to learn to box. I mean not to fight against someone but just me and the bag, learn how to pack a punch.
I had an epiphany as I walked past a bottleO just now: When I return to France the first things I want to buy are a bottle of Lawson's and some cola for apéro, a block of Chocolat Noir aux Eclats de Fêves de Cacao Caramelisées to go with coffee and this one has just ocured to me, a Gatêau des Rois. Mmmm the meal could be anything if I could just have these.
