Hi @Exoplanet, sounds like you've found a great spot for your camping adventure. Wow to pelicans and seagulls where you are, which I imagine is quite inland! I wonder how they come to be there. I'm kind of glad there are other quiet people there, seems safer to me somehow. Though your by now renowned cattle prod also sounds like a pretty strong deterrent to other humans who might make the mistake of taking you on, (not to mention your strong dog). Makes me happy to think of you safe in your adventuring. Also sounds cool that you got to see roads and places on the way that you hadn't seen before. Looking forward to more of updates from Camp Exoplanet.
Hi @MDT, thanks for the message earlier today. I've had a very quiet day here and, despite not wanting to, I ended up napping some of the day away. But enjoyed my favourite show, Star Trek, and looking forward to some Big Bang Theory tonight. How are you going, my friend?
Hi @greenpea, high five on the two of us digging Frasier. It's a classic. Niles Crane is a great character. Cute that you have had a 'thing' for him.
Hi @CheerBear, great that you went and enjoyed your arty crafty womens group today. I haven't achieved any of my aims today, except get roughly dressed and make the bed. But I'm hoping to make it to a craft group tomorrow morning. That will be a new activity for me so I hope I make it.
Hi @eth, wondering how the meeting went with your co-ordinator of supports. I think it was today? Hoping it may have alleviated some of the anxiety you have been experiencing in relation to the ndis processes. I'm happy too to see you once more celebrated in this month's community wrap-up.
@everyone, kind wishes for this evening, hope it brings some good moments for all.
I thought that this was just another message @Mazarita...little did I know it's so sensitive and caring to @CheerBear.
You talk about her appointment with her Gp and going on mood stabilizers. We are all different and I must comment that going on 100mg of mood stabilizers has saved me immensely. It has also been able to show me when to stop doing something before I get overwhelmed.
Hopeless feelings, depression, little coffee spots to regenerate. Can I meet you two there too?
Hello to everyone from Camp Exoplanet 😄
Had a pretty broken nights sleep last night, not because of anxiety, but because my staffy just couldn't settle {maybe he had the anxiety?}. We may be camping, but there are more people & lights & dogs & . . . everything here than what my dogs see at home. Home is a super quiet bush block that no-one ever comes to. So myself & my puppies all napped today 🙂 There's a pretty resticted area for walking, a park beside the camping area that ends in a rock wall that you simply can't go any further & there's a fence that actually goes out into the water stopping you from going any further on the other side. But the walk we get is still so completely different to back home, we get to walk along the waters edge! 😄 This dam has the blue-green algea problem, though you still see boaters & people fishing, there's a sign saying the swimming & the likes could make you sick if you accidently swallowed the water! & to make sure to remove all the intestines of any fish you catch to eat - & yet there's a sign saying they stock the dam with fish for fishing?!? On our afternoon walk we came across 2 dead turtles & a dead duck - could be normal, I'd say there's a large population of them & the drought is no doubt affecting the area {though there's still green grass here! 🙂 } but I thought findig 2 dead turtles close together was odd? I spent the day having a good read of a book I started probably a year or more ago, I really enjoyed it 🙂 Had my second hot shower this afternoon . . . mmmmmmmmmm it was good 🙂 I am thinking of putting the staffy in his cage tonight so I can sleep better, I'll see how he settles {he's sleeping at my feet at the moment} Will pack up tomorrow and head back home, I'm sure to play with the photos I've taken, though I haven't taken many, it's been pretty overcast the whole time & I feel a bit . .. I'm not sure if embarrassed is the word, but that's the one I'll use; I don't feel like walking around with the camera where people are. Oh, I had lunch with a cute little bird today, I don't know if it was a butcher bird, it's beak didn't seem big enough, it was black & white but not a magpie or a pee wee; it actually flew down & sat on the table, at one point it even stayed there & ate with me 🙂 There also a little indian miner that despite having an entire dam to drink from, always comes down to the tap {another amazing point is that the table & chairs with the shelter has a tap with it! Though it has a no drinking water sign on it} & drinks from it 🙂
Love to you all
