Lovely to be here. Great to see my sister and her kids. So far we've been horseriding, watersliding, indoor playing, giant pillow jumping, to Yeppoon, church...
Rockhampton really is a nice place. From our deck we have a great view out over the southern hills. Driving down the main street is a delightful experience - a long, wide, straight road heading to the northern mountains, with no cars to speak of... though several crazy pedestrians who think nothing of running out onto the highway.
My sister is like a 3 month old puppy - 2 speeds - on and off. She is go go go go all day. Why just watch Australian Idol when you can clean your teeth (with 2 electric toothbrushes - faster that way), pump weights, cook and do the washing at the same time? Why b/feed one child when you could be feeding two? Makes me feel a little lazy but life is never dull!
Interesting the similarities between us. Mannerisms, confidence, opinions. Though we've made life choices that have taken us down quite different paths, common genetic material counts for quite a lot.
This is coming from the woman that wrote a ridiculously long list (in my experience) of things she had done that day - and it was only lunch-time and there was more to come in the afternoon (can't find the post just now). I felt exhausted just reading your list!
ReplyDeleteHmm, always finding the typos after posting the comment - that should be "woman who" not "woman that". :-) You may fix it if you care to.
ReplyDeleteDon't be too quick to blame genetics. There is much that goes into inheritance, and genes are only part of that. Besides, attitudinal things like mannerisms etc. are to a large extent learned, not in-built.
ReplyDelete"Rockhampton really is a nice place" you say?
ReplyDeleteYou went to the Rockhampton in central Queensland right? The hot, dry one ... with the brown river? Or some other Rockhampton somewhere else maybe?
Central Qld, of course! And it was nice.
ReplyDeleteWould be good to get an afes group happening up there. Anyone interested?
