Hi @Shaz51, I love that place too. Hope you do get back there. 
Hi @outlander, good to see you lil sis.
It is lovely there @Mazarita, @outlander
we set up camp and stay all day , Mr Shaz hikes up to the top where the waterfall is , you can`t camp overnight which is a shame but it is lovely and relaxing for the day
I tried to do another picture but it is too large , will try again
Up in the early hours of the morning. I thought dawn had come early when I went outside for a smoke a little while ago. Then realised the brightness in the sky was from the brilliant full moon. I thought the sun was coming up and it was just the moon's reflection of it.
Wipeout day yesterday, but did a fair bit of video. I've had more sleep tonight than usual. Still tired so will head back to it again before too long. Just posting here in case @eth or anyone around feels like chatting for a little while.
Hope the night has treated everyone well so far and that most of you are still making zzzzzzzs.
Gidday Mazy 🙂
So glad to hear you are happy 😄 :D, being tired is okay considering all the walking, visiting and appointment keeping 😉 Sometimes I think being tired can even be a good thing, if good things made you that way 🙂 How's the 'emotional therapy' going? {I don't know the correct title for it} I just remember thinking it could be a rather . . . well . . . emotional process? I think I've given up on the idea of 'getting better', .. . the whole happy, balanced person just isn't me - I can be happy, but my balance is different to what our society demands.
'Brigadoon' rings a bell, I remember reading a story about a little town in England that had a semi-spherical force field arise around it (it ended up being aliens). No one could get either in or out - and it made for a good read 🙂 They run-out of everything and have to make-do with whatever they can provide from just their little area - it was like a small scale 'end of World' thing going on:)
I did a little google on that elusive state forest I tried to find, I went as far as using satellite view - and there is no entrance as such to it, there's an educational facility, but not my cup of tea. I've researched another state forest in that area, where I can even camp with the furries {another 'place to go' on my ever expanding list of places to go :D}
That was a $300 sore toe! But luckily it doesn't seem to be sore anymore . . . and well . . . that makes it worth it - no signs of infection or heat or tenderness, and it will 'grow back' normally now. Rescuing SPIDERS . . . WOW - your a more caring soul than me!! Well, your far more courageous than me - if I don't think they're poisonous, I will just leave them alone . . . but I won't go as far as touching them !!!(oo)!!! I have given the occasional snake a quiet box to hide in, and then taken box and all out in the bush {I can't have them just hangin' around the houseyard} Saw my first centipede for the season yesterday, under a piece of wood I was collecting - Ho Hum, the bug season, time to get out the anti-H and start mowing!!! XD 😄 🙂 😉
The weather is beautiful and it does make me want to get outside more, I'd like to get out and potter in the garden a bit - to clean up and the practical reasons of bugs and other bitey creatures; and because I just feel like I want to! 🙂 I think I need to give up on 'ground gardens', the ground out here is pretty harsh, it looks like sand in many places, but it's actually a really fine clay - and that's not very good for plants. We also have a lot of trees out here that the leaves of which, when they fall to the ground and deteriorate, actually coat every tiny little grain of that soil in a water-proof resin; so even when it does rain enough that it over-comes the clay soils reaction to becoming moist and clumping together in a way that the water can't sink-in and just flows over the surface; even on the rare occasions that the volume of rain is such that it does start to seep down - each sand-grit sized grain of clay-soil is coated in water-proof resin! It meant a lot of digging and maintaining rather large garden beds, and constantly trying to maintain a pretty flimsy fence that surrounded it; and my body hasn't been up to that for a few years now really - so I think it's time to be more realistic and think more 'ground pots'; much smaller areas with much smaller fences {though the fence is mostly important for keeping my young fella out, as the freshly laid soil I plant things in is sooooooo very diggable 🙂 there are also 'local visitors' like wallabies and roos that make fencing of utmost importance! I have an idea for one at my front house gate, with 1/2 dozen car tyres stacked up, and a few strong, straight, branches with wire around the lot and the front-gate post for support - and maybe a Bougainvillea, they seem to have a 'better chance' out here 😉 And also some plain old fashioned container gardening, with the likes of good old cherry tomatoes and Snow Peas 🙂
. . . well this has turned into another 'Long Rave' 😄 I picked the right thread to put it 😉 Having raved-on about wanting to go outside, that's just what I did! 🙂 went outside and had a smoke and looked around, I've got a largish pot I picked up and put on my outdoor table - that's where I'll start . . . 😄 😄 😄
Lots of love streaming directly at ya
