Sailor's Warning

14 September 2006


Wispy, long, clouds illuminated by the first rays of this morning's sunrise, turning delicate pink, so striking against the powder blue sky.

The half-moon draped in these pink wispy clouds.

Possums fucking in the middle of the road, under the light of the silvery half-moon.

A magnificent sunrise all blue, purple, pink and golden - fucking breathtaking.

The "A hard man is a good thing to find!" van in beach carpark, glowing in the early morning golden hour (and the two hot surfers that emerged from it!).

And that golden light, that gently touched everything in my path, bringing it all to life, making the morning become electric.

Did not take the fucking camera this morning, as wanted to concentrate on running without pause, so I missed all these things on this awesome pink sky morning... goddammit!

Bugger... I thought a sailors warning went something like this:

"Don't lean on the gaurdrails, or the Buffer will have your arse..."

Okay - in-house Sailor joke (and a really bad pun I thought), but hey... it's late and I'm tired!

Did you just say "Toughen Up Princess"?

Nahhhh A... you didn't need your camera mate - you did fine with your words. Tell me your still writing the odd yarn or two in your 'off time' mate... you do that well from memory.

You have a good one! ;-)

Bugger. No fucking possums photo. Ah well. 'Nother time.

Did they ID the body yet?

Spike: Yeah, I'll keep my eye out for more of those Pseudocheirus peregrinus sexcapades.

I've not heard anything more about the body.

B: "Toughen Up Princess". No yarns, for now.

you didn't need the fucking camera, your words do an excellent job of painting a picture for us...

Thanks A... needed that mate!

Ahhh... so it's true - the name 'Possum' is really just an alias!

You don't happen to specialise in marsupials now do ya...? Something about your last Blog - caught my eye... Melomy?

Man - if that's so your lucky just to be alive... viscious little buggers the lot of them! Phascogales are my favourite, oh and that hopping mouse fella... bloody GREAT at defending themselves. Not to mention Woylies... kick the stuffing out of ya! ;-) Shredding you as they go! They all LOOK cute in the handouts and on TV, but don't corner one of the little buggers - that's for sure!

Saw a big lad out scrub one night (out spotlighting and showing up the local wildlife to 'tourists') leap upon a hopping mouse - never saw a bloke regret his decision so much ever before - you'd have thought he'd leapt upon a crocodile... that 'mouse' got him good - his thumb bledso much we had ot go and gt it stitched!

SUCKER!

Hahaha... just a guess mate... made me laugh (remembering)!

B: A fawn-footed melomys has very sharp little incisors. Little bastard rodent.

So it'd be right up there with the rest of the little terrors then... lol!
