The Birthday bouy.

It's my birthday today, thank you for all your kind calls/txt's some may have been a little earlier than expected, but I'm sure they were heart felt (4.30am), the song line from Dragon was appreciated "don't waste time in paradise", I am sure some will know who the offender is.

Annie & I took a Darwin harbour cruise last night, we rugged up accordingly in matching threequater pant gortex leisure suits, with all weather galoshes, should we take a wave over the bow, after all we were to be seated at the honeymooners table forward aft on the good ship (converted tuna boat) the Alfred Nobel.

Now I remember when we used to live in Melbourne, there were days when you would ask yourself, "why do I live where I live?" Was it yesterday or is it today Melbourne folk, as I look at the BOM site this morning there is a large southern ocean low, spinning spinning, bringing all that lovely fresh arctic air under the gap beneath the front door? So I hope these shots cheer you up a little.

That's us embracing the fresh night air in Darwin, note: the pelt has left the face. Now I am sure you would like more, every body on the ship had dressed for a wild & chilly night on the harbour.

This is about as rough as it got. I will have a happy birthday today, in fact it feels like a six month birthday, so thank you for the early txt Peter, cos I don't want to waste time in paradise.

Cheers
