pelicans and utes with rims
Haven't written in this blog for an age, but am feeling the urge to preserve my ramblings for prosperity once more, so perhaps the time has come to resurrect the old darl...
Today was exhausting and I don't know why. Well, going to the hospital with my grandmother to find out how long her cancer is giving her left to live probably had something to do with it, but to honest we were laughing so much on the way there at our mutual bizarre senses of humor and creeping at a snails pace as I held her arm trying to find the hospital cafe that we were totally unscared (is that a word? No, but it should be) by the time the doctor with NO SENSE OF HUMOR (all doctors should have a sense of humor. I mean, not over the top but at least crack a smile for the old ladies...) came in. Hmm, love long sentences. Anyway as it turns out the radiation therapy was good. Hasn't got rid of it, but it hasn't spread and she has put on weight... so they want her to come back in 2 months to update. I talked all the way home about making her eat kiwi fruit and broccoli and garlic. Must have sounded like a total nutter but healthy food can't hurt, and at least it's a start. Hope is a wonderful thing...
So I drove nan home from Newcastle and we stopped in Swansea so she could get me lost in various back streets trying to find her favorite seafood shop. Found it, got a sizeable handful of fresh prawns... and I took a photo of Nan grinning at me as some curious pelicans sailed over the crystalline water to check us out.
Am going to frame it.
Daydreamed all the way home on the freeway and passed a shop that exclusively sold flash utes with shiny rims on the tires. I will only say this once... There Is No Need.
Nuff said.
