And I said to myself...

The last thing you must do before you leave on your camping trip is forget your camera. And sure enough, the last thing I did before I left was forget my camera. (Thank you to a certain rubbery-faced, British comedian for that one.) Thus, there are no photos taken by me in existence. Poop, poop, poop.

Better than mine? Better than mine?! You can hardly call a mouth-wateringly good crumbed breast of chicken (read: whichever burger it was that you had, I can't remember) with some fresh salad items encased within a nicely toasted burger bun better than a soggy Bi-Lo hamburger that had been bought the night before and kept in ice, smothered in sauce and slapped between two slices of bread, now can you?

Better than mine, he says. Pfft.

Thanks for the great weekend, oh mighty barrel-chested one. And sorry that you had to sleep in the car last night (even though you seem to have enjoyed it)! I was probably pushing Steve into you - it's been awhile since anyone's been able to tell me, but I tend to squish up against people whenever I'm not sleeping by myself. So if that was the case, I apologise. And am thankful that Ghost Doom did not come after you in the NIIIIIGHT.

I had the burger with the lot minus tomato.

Nah, it was okay. My car was surprisingly comfortable. I'm just glad I decided to make use of it rather than just suffer in silence. You should have seen the precautions I went through to make sure I didn't wake Sarah and Andrew. I was the soul of the ninja! And not once did I channel Ghost Doom, although it was tempting. :P

It seems as if you all had a wonderful time communing with nature and conspiring to commit arson :)

mrben January 17 2005, 00:31:37 UTC

Hey, arson is about destroying property, and that was not our intention. We're all about arcing matches through the air. :P

hipichic January 17 2005, 00:41:48 UTC

hmmm, and there IS a difference, isn't there....yeah, ummm right... :P

sounds like you all had a great time!!
it is always so hard rejoining the real world after such a time of joy.

mrben January 17 2005, 02:57:06 UTC

Yes, and there's so much real world to catch up on. Thus I shall remain at home today and read all the posts I've missed.

I forgot to tell you, I got your package!
And I will just wait to discuss it with you later when you log on, but thank you soooo much!
Also, thank you for the link to that aussie show. I laughed so hard, neighbor cross the way came to check that I was still breathing.
so funny.

mrben January 17 2005, 05:51:30 UTC

I would ahve thought the laughter would have given away the fact you could still breathe. :)

to be all pedantic and everything it's g-o-u-l-b-u-r-n. :P

you sound like you had loads of fun. i'm jealous!

mrben January 17 2005, 03:17:08 UTC

Thank you. You're the first person to help me out with that. I've been spending all this time thinking, "That looks wrong!" and even someone who else said that her family lived there for 20 years couldn't help me (and spelt it the same way I did... and it still looked wrong!).

We did have fun, but it's always good to get back to civilisation. I'm so glad I'm not at work today as I am Mr Lethargy.
