Two days drive for a bit of sun…

…and the chance to hand-feed dolphins, oh yeah!!

So Himself is finally leaving. After much postponing and umming and ahhing, he is ready to “go North” to build* some massive bridge or another in the middle of no-where, involving complicated technical drawings, lots of big numbers and large amounts of extreme cleverness on Himself’s part. All stuff that I do not understand, being the wordy, arty side of our partnership who struggles with her eight times table (yes, I do).

So what does the conciencious partner of said Mr Hardwork do whilst he is away, busting his arse in the land of Red Dust? She plans a road-trip on account of the children being off school and the weather in the capital struggling to reach 20 degrees (with it being Winter and all).

Monkey Mia is famous for it’s “resident” dolphins. The children are crazy about all things Living and Marine . It kind of adds up. I shall throw the boys and some supplies into the FunBus and away we shall run. Away from the city, away from the cold and away from the house without Daddy in it. We shall spend a couple of days on the road and a couple of nights in Caravan Parks. When we get to Monkey Mia, we will spend time in the water and on the beach, listening to music, eating good food and chilling together. When we are done, we will drive for two days to get home and we will be exhausted enough not to worry that Himself is not on the balcony to greet us. The children will go back to school and I shall work hard on Launching the Site that will not Launch (it’s taking forever anyway with pesky old life getting in the way). We will be just fine. Really. Just Fine.

 

*or rather have lots of big burly fellows build it for him whilst he plans and thinks and schemes etc.

UPDATE: We are ALL still in the City…Hurrah.  Himself didn’t go North. I’ll swim with Dophins another time, for now I have my family home and together.
