Hi honey I'm home.........

.......sitting here typing with Trippi on my knee.

Not been doing much. Just hybernating and eating chocolate again.

Got some homework to do, so I'd better go.

5 days till London. Not that I'm counting.

Hopefully I'll be able to suss out the internet and camera photo loading situation when I get there.
Otherwise it may be a bit quiet for a few weeks.

But I'll be sure to post some photo's when I get back.

Bee good everyone, and be sure to visit the movies for me. Go and see "my super ex girlfriend". I loved it.

Fly and be free.

Love from Cathryn and Trippi (and his cold feet!)

Four hours......

.......and five minutes to go.

Not that I'm counting.

A pretty nasty fog has rolled in, aparently it was raining back at camp (8 km away).

The fog had better lift so the plane can land, or else I'm going to have to paint some sleeping roughnecks toenails...........bright red...........dammit.

I have gone one entire hitch......

.......with only breaking one nail.

My secret...............nailpolish.

Bright red nailpolish.

I just thought you'd like to know.

I feel better now that you know.

Sigh..............

I have totally got to check these out.........

Seven hours to go..........

..........not that I'm counting.

I've got holidays, coming up really soon. August the first in fact.

It just so happens that the way the crew changes have fallen, is that I get an extra week at home.

Five weeks of holidays.

Yeah baby yeah!

One of the first things I'm going to do is get my eyes tested. I have to look at my computer screen with the Text Size in "Larger".

How sad is that!

Other things I'm planning (some of which are normal everyday things that nine to fivers take for granted) are.........

Dentist.......
Tax man......
Car service....
Madonna concert in London......
Walking the dog.....
Tour of Scotland.......
Visit bank manager......
Talk with boss.....
Watch tv.......
Sleep in......
Go to the pub.....

Six hours and fourty nine minutes to go.........
Not that I'm counting.

I've found a pretty cool site with a fellow Logger.
He's got some nice pictures, and he doesn't swear as much as me.

Check him out......

Anyway, have fun everyone.

Oh, did I mention that my first day in London is also my 29th Birthday.

Happy Birthday Me!!

Last night I was so busy that.......

......I took 3 hours to eat my bowl of fruit salad. It was a really yummy bowl of fresh fruit salad. The food truck had just come in so there was lots of variety.

In the end I just got fed up, and threw the last quarter of it or so away. Damn shame.

Sometimes, we get so busy when we are drilling that you have to make very important decisions on the spur of the moment........

For example............

Do I go to the toilet, have a drink, do up my shoelaces, have some food, or have a smoke.

Usually there is only time enough for one of the above, you can't do it all at once.




Needless to say, the smoke usually wins out!




However, me being female, can usually do two things at once.

Smoking and drinking go hand in hand, likewise, drinking and eating, toilet and shoelaces.

However, I do not smoke and eat, toilet and smoke, smoke and shoelaces, eat drink & toilet, toilet and smoke. Hmmmnnn.......

The decisions I have to make...........I don't know how I've coped all these years.



On another topic entirely, I have a marvellous bruise to my left shoulder. I have to keep undressing in the unit so I can watch it develop. At the moment it is the size of my hand, and is a purplish kind of blue.

I don't mind getting a little bit injured every now and again, but I can't stand getting damn well hurt and having nothing to show for it. I'm proud of my war wounds.



And just to change the subject again, the other day I heard a conversation between the head cook and a newly arrived indian old fella mud doctor trainee.

"I'm a vegetarian", says the old indian dude.

"Then how come you're sooooo FAT?" expleted the head cook.

I couldn't help it, I cracked up. I mean, the reason I'm fat is cos I eat shit and don't exercise.

I'm not laughing at the poor fat guy, I truly sympathise, I'm just laughing at the way the cook said it. Lot's of tone and emphasis.


Anyway, I'm off to find my midnight bowl of fruit salad. I have time to eat it too!

For all the bloody days to be late......

.........my offsider chose the day they were moving the camp.

So, I got back to camp an hour late, had 4 minutes to shower and get my shit outta there, before they turned the water and power off, and basically missed out on getting a room over at the other camp.

I pissed off the other camps cook by putting a spanner in the works.......

All this after a shortchange.

All I wanted to do was sleep, immediately, anywhere, with anyone (ie - i didn't mind sharing a room).

Sigh.

Anyway, I forgot my alarm clock, so was paranoid that I'd sleep in, so I was up at 12, 3 and 4.15 to check the time.

Needless to say I am friggin tired today.

Gonna sleep well tomorrow.

Faaaaarrrrkkkkk!

Fuck yeah, wooooohooooo,, !!!!!!!!fuckity fuckity yes yea fucking harity fuck yeaH!!!!!!!You are looking at the proud owner of 1 ticket to Madonna's "confessions" tour at Wembley stadium London, August 10.Fuck Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Idol.............

.............and I'm going to be in London at the same time as her tour.

One can dream, can't she. Hmmmmnnn..........my little brain is a tickin ova!

Sigh............

I really like this picture

 

Can I blog more than one damn picture at a time?

It appears so......Hmmmnnn........

 

A spoiler...........

Saw Pirates of the Carribean 2 when I was at home.
It was bloody good, definitely as good as the first.
It leaves you set up for a third movie, and you are not quite sure who is going to get the girl!

Anyway, it's raining pretty heavily out here in the plains of despair.
I hereby rename it "The boggy swamp of despair".

I'm bored

My left thigh hurts

Entertain me..................someone............please.................sigh...

Wagging whales................

Just got the most gorgeous email from mum, and here is the best bit.....

"saw 4 whales at middleton. havent seen whales before so wasnt too sure but after seeing tail wag in water was certain wasnt looking at a bunch
of rocks"


isn't she cute! :)

certainly made my morning and put a smile on my dial.

I've just got visions of whales jumping out of the water with their little tails wagging furiously. Hmmmnnnnn......sigh..........




Anyway, bought out my knitting this hitch.

I have never knitted before - properly - ie following a pattern.

Wouldn't have the foggiest as to how to read a pattern.

Have bought out a pattern book for funky dog jumpers.

Will attempt a doggy jumper (for trippi).......................thats doggy, not dodgy......................................................





.............either that or just look at the pretty pictures of dogs dressed up as dinosaurs and sunflowers and licorice all sorts.


Hmmnnn............

I have just discovered..........

.......a disadvantage to my brand new bright orange and shiny striped overalls...........

That is.........going to the toilet takes about 5 minues longer, and you have to get half naked to do it.

I thought getting "walked in on" was bad enough before, but now I pitty the poor bastard who walks in without knocking.....

Ha ha ha ha.......................................sigh.

The butler did it......

......in the Billiard room with the candlestick.

Went to a host a murder last night. My house mate promised to come as my partner, but as the clock ticked round to 6 he was still nowhere to be seen.Grrrrr....... So I took my old housemate instead.

Had a great night, good company, good friends, good food and drink.

Am not looking forward to work tomorrow. Sigh...... I could get used to having two weeks off!

Anyway, gotta go and find some hose fittings for work tomorrow.

MWA

Zits Galore......

......hmmnnnnn......I've been on my healthy eating plan for a week already, when the Zits attacked again.
Sigh......anyway, I was going to see another movie (Stick it - chick flick, I liked it, just a bit o fluff) and I thought whilst I was in the shop getting my diet vanilla coke (movie softdrinks $5 bucks a pop - get fucked!) I'd also get some zit cream.

I'm sitting in the movie theatre, watching the previews (and trying to ignore the couple two seats in front of me violently pashing - my god, they've got the whole fucking cinema to choose from, and they choose to sit directly in front of me - no shame the kids of today, no shame), anyway, back to the story, I'm watching the previews, so I decide that there is no time like the present.

I ripped open the packet of zit cream and applied generously.
After rubbing it all in I sat back and enjoyed the film whilst the tingle on my nose, cheeks and chin let me know the cream was doing what it was supposed to.

Well, 2 hours later, I get back to my car and realised that the zit cream goes pretty much early 90's 'white zinc cream esque'.

Nice.


Hmmnnn......what else...........

Oh, I nearly forgot..........

My ticket to my far away place has been booked and paid for.

Watch out world, here I come............................................................Yehar!

Hermit Habbits....

.....Hey there, I've been a bit of a hermit this past week, mainly cos I have alienated most of my friends. That and I left my mobile phone charger at work. I've not done much, just pretty much gone thru my Dvd collection, looking for oldies but goodies to watch all over again.

I've been waxed, plucked, dyed and trimmed, the dog had a shave, so we are all ready, but have nowhere to go.

I went to see Superman Returns. Hmmmnnn........ wait for video if you must see it. Do not waste your money at the cinema. Very very bad............sigh.

I'm just about to go and see "stick it" a chick gymnastics flick. I'm still waiting for the phone to ring, to tell me that they made a mistake and I don't actually have another week off work. Sigh.......... This extra week is spinning me out.

That's all.
