I started packing and haven't I done a fabulous job! The place now looks like a cyclone has been through it and Monkey will be so happy when she comes home from 12 hrs at the office.
I went to see the booze brothers (our local bottle shop in Paddington- Liquourland) and told them I wanted heaps of boxes. They asked did I want them full as usual. I said that I needed them empty as we are moving. They had a mild cardiac infarction as they realised their best customers are on their way to Darwin. Bad luck brothers.
So now I have packed all of our CD's and books into about 20 6-bottle wine cartons. It is hysterical and a real monument to us sits waiting at the back door for the removalists.

I put the "John Bentley Florist Orange Rocket" up for a bidding war and all I got was Delph saying she is attached to it and wants it back. She doesn't want the dust with it apparently. What are best friends for? Delph is not prepared to pay for the modifications we have made with electrical tape and a blunt knife to make it go faster.
I packed most of the linen into a big box we had at the top of the wardrobe. That was a superb effort and lucky I am flying out on Monday AM as it is going to be very tight with towels from now on. No consideration was made for the fact that Monkey has to live here for the next few weeks.
Rocket is not happy and I know it. He knows exactly what is going on and has been fighting with me all day. He is also approaching "sexual maturity". I know it is only "sexual maturity" as their is no way he is mature in any other way or ever will be. He is right little bastard right now. He just had a full tin of "Salmon Prime Fillet" and he has at least decided to sleep for an hour with a full belly. When he wakes up he will start talking from the minute he opens his eyes and it will be something like "What is this FIFO business and what plans exist for me and what are you going to feed me NOW? I have heard Darwin is hot as hell and don't worry I'm gonna make you pair pay for it". One thing we have taught him so well is how to express himself.
Today I went for a walk and bought a date scone for afternoon tea. When I went into the kitchen a few hours later he had been on the bench and eaten half it. This morning Monkey said he had eaten her bread roll that she bought last night for lunch today.
We love our Rocket but sometimes he just pushes us to the limit.

We refer to Rocket's testicles as his "Rocket fuel tanks" and he will be soon running on empty. He needs to have them removed for the sake of all of us. That will leave him only with verbal abuse as a weapon (we hope he will lose the physical abuse) but Im sure he'll do just fine as he could talk underwater with a mouth full of whiskettes.
Tomorrow is mine medical day. Heaps of fun I am sure. I asked the HR and recruitment consultant was that just a "pee in a jar kind of thing?". She said "oh yeah, or pee on a stick". I said "not like a pregnancy test as that scares me". She replied "oh why is that an issue?". I said "I hope not as I'm gay". She nearly fell off her chair laughing I think. I could hear it from Perth.
Anyway I must go as Rocket has woken up and he needs FIFO explained again.
Huges: Now Rocket FIFO means "Fit In or Fk Off" and unless you start behaving you'll be doing the latter. Straight to live with Delph's Orange Rocket and you'll be second rocket in line for her love.
Rocket: Oh no, not Aunty Delph and her Rocket, please Mummy 1.
