Thanks for all the support everyone, it is appreciated.

Our news story has made quite the splash on facebook. Both of them.

Mainly I have been trying to see humour in it, instead of the horribly, horribly depressing, cos let's face it, it's horribly, horribly depressing, and I really don't want to think about it. The most upsetting parts are when I see before shots like this since it now looks like this.

Actually, I got most upset last night when I looked at this since it used to look like this. :(

Yesterday was surreal, going in and pulling stuff out. We've put anything we could in the garage and locked it up, as they've now boarded up the house.

Today... I dunno. I have a mysterious headache. But it all still seems so weird, and detached.

And it's very quiet here today. Matt had to go back to prac, Trys is at his family's house, Tat is in Katoomba, and Dad has gone to hospital for a knee replacement.

So I am sitting here thinking how I need to go hang out all my clothes that have been washed to see if the smell will come out. And also how Mum sent me $500 to go shopping with, and I really don't want to.

Obviously the nightmare in this for me is that I have to go clothes shopping :p I really will since my wardrobe with all my jackets in it melted (well the inside did) and it is still winter. So very many jackets...

Tonight I go to Mum's for dinner, and I need to buy a birthday cake for grandma since it is her birthday week, and I kinda stepped all over it with my house fire :p She said my birthday present was that I was alive. David pointed out that we've always been alive for her birthdays and we still get her things :p

Anyways, I ought to actually make an effort with those clothes I guess.

P.S. Anyone who was wondering, the fire happened about 10mins after I posted that entry about how long my day was :p

Just a survey to help with someone's dissertation.

Well here lies this months stupidest tale, one of "Cassie and Bunty's grand adventures"... which we all know end so well.

After recovering from a complete lack of sleep from Friday night, Bunty decided she wished to visit her boyfriend Nice!Josh at Grose Vale, which meant scabbing a lift off Mop. Due to the fact i was already gonna go to Mop's house today, this really didn't make a difference to our day's plans... or it at least it wasn't meant to.

While journeying to Josh's house we met a little... snag. Or puddle, whatever.

We completely drove past Josh's house without noticing due to an involved Pink Floyd discussion, and decided that we would just drive to the end of the road and turn around... y'know as you do.

Due to the end of the road being a fire trail, and half this fire trail being flooded... it didn't exactly work out as planned. After a 3 point turn we were then facing the right way back up the road... we were also facing a rather large puddle on our side. Deciding it was only a puddle, we tackled it head on... which may not have been the greatest plan in retrospect.

It turns out that the puddle was not in fact a puddle... it happened in some areas to be a 3 ft ditch... hehe... yeah.

We may have tilted a little... and we may have stuck there... and there may have been some flipping danger... and the car may have began to fill slowly with water...

The 4 wheel drive behind us happened to find this situation particularly amusing, but they stopped to help anyway. After climbing out of the higher side of the car, Mop went to get help from the house next to the fire track. In response to asking for a rope the lady simply said "oh... you're in the puddle aren't you."

Many more amusing moments passed before the 4 wheel drive managed to tow us out with the assistance of said rope. By this point Bunty and i were standing well away from the car with our possessions trying to avoid the crap filled water... while laughing.

Eventually the car was freed and when the doors were opened a small waterfall was formed... from the now putrid car. This was about the time Josh arrived after Bunty had called him to inform him of our misadventure. After a few moments of laughing at our situation and assessing the situation, Josh turned around and said "oh, hi I'm Josh."

And that was how I met Josh.

The End...?

Hehe, the were many more amusing hours of cow poop water and the telling of Mop's parents... but that's a story for another time =D
