h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hooray for dads everywhere!

Aw hell I just realised yesterday was father's day, and I didn't say anything about it to him!

Yay, Dad's are the best !

yesterday went back to hq (ie Mum and Dad's house) for a bbq...then went to watch Dad paly basketball, then we went down to the pub to play some pool and have a .

Tomorrow I'll see him again for trivia.

God, I'm such a Daddy's girl

I came home and surprised my dad - I didn't tell him I was coming, and I was supposed to be coming home the following week - that's this weekend, because my holidays start then.
Three weeks of un-school-related bliss...

I'v got 2 morw days of no work related bliss

so lucky you, hope you Dad didn't freak out with you turning up early, my sister did that once to my Mum for mothers day an she nearly fainted an didn't speak to my sis for a whole day

Wow I wish I could organise it so my Mum didn't talk to me for a day

it was really freaky, Mum just sort of kept sputtering, an poking sis, just to make sure she really was there (she had come from australia, this was before I went to aus, following my big hippy sis)

I thought about springing a surprise visit this xmas, but Dad rekoned Mum wouldn't be able to handle it, so she knows we are coming, only 3 months to go........

That's so sweet, that your Mum gets so excited to see you

I w**k at the same place as my Mum, so we're bored of each other

(lucky I'm a daddy's girl )

I haven't been 'home' in 18 years, but did see Mum an Dad two years ago, the come over every 2 - 3 years, this time though I will be able to see my other sis, an 2 nephews an a niece that I have never seen

It has taken a long time for my Mum an I to build a relationship, due to some stuff in my childhood, we have worked really hard to be friends, so it will be really cool to see them

ps, I am a really big Daddys girl, as the last in the family, an I was supposed to be a boy, Dad brought me up as his boy any way, fishing sailing, hunting, flying, computers, I am a real tomboy

Where's home ??

I have the same thing with my mother...we're civil know, we can converse and stuff, but that's about it...

...but I have more in common wiht my Dad...mainly ...

Home used to be Rotorua, but Mum an Dad now live in Mt Manganui, an my middle sis lives in Manuwera

Mum an Dad have a camper van that we are going to use ti tour around a bit after xmas

Mum an I aren't what you call great friends but we can talk an stuff for a few days, it is just nice to see them

Oh that sounds like heaps of fun !

I never really go anywhere...I should plan a holiday...as soon as I can...I think I have a week free in March next year

you could always come here (bundaberg) via Ivan in canberra an Badzen in Brissy

I've never met this Badzen...but just from our names, I have a feeling we may be mortal enemies

But that sounds like an excellent idea...flitting 'round the country...stopping off for with hootoo folk...what more could a gal want ??

mmmm does sound good

Badzen runs the mostly harmless motorcycle club, hootoos very own bike group, I've never meet him, but we talk abit via hootoo, he has organised a couple of meets in Brissy, he's very laid back, he has a very low u number so he has been around here for a while

got to go, got to pick up my passport

but i'll be back later..........

oh look






















a frog............ off in the distance, looks like it's wearing a tux

I'm guessing he's around when I'm not then ??

What, what was that ??

*looks off in the distance*

Crispian??

Crispian ???

Yeah, I think it's your frog. You should really get a leash or something for him, Tanzen, so you don't keep losing him.
Oh, and if you're landing in Melbourne airport, come and say hi to me.

*runs over and grabs Crispian*



Oh Crispy, never leave me again



*whispers to her frog*

Especially around here...it seems we have some *bad sorts* in here



Well the last time I was at the Melbourne Airport I was coming home after a weekend in Tassie

Hmmm sounds like a yummy treat 'crispy' frog... I mean if you didn't want people to think of food when they met your pet why'd ya give hime such a food-sunding name?

I wonder which ancient Frenchman decided you could eat these things, and snails too. I mean *YUK* when I was a kid we were taught not to eat the things you found crawling around the garden

Maybe I should call him Ian while I'm in here then

Oh go on, don't pretend like you didn't try to eat a snail when you were a kid...or more recently

I'm sure that I was like most kids and tried to eat almost everything I found in the garden, but Me Mum had the good sense to teach me not to.

I've certainly never tried to eat anything named Ian.! Not that I'm against such things, just not my
