Ok. Newsflash.

Two things about Australia that should strike fear in the heart of anyone thinking of making a trip to the land down under.

Giant spiders
Sharks

(AKA Chris and S repellent.)

If I see a giant spider, or S a shark of any size, expect hysteria in mass quantities. I’ve got my eye on you Australia.

In other trip developments my vay-cay time has (narrowly) been approved, the tickets have been purchased, we’ve got someone lined up to look after the cat, made touch with our B.C. relations during our brief stopover and begun to hammer out the deets of what we’re actually going to do when we’re out there…including lots of Outback experiences and annoying the locals by re-enacting ‘that scene’ from the Simpsons.

Coffee?

Beer?

Co-ffee?

Be-er?

C. O…

B. E…

And so it begins.
