Seems Like Only Yesterday

"So this is permanence" I think about my big brother often, 12 months after his passing, I felt it would be only fitting to contemplate how he himself may have remembered and commemorated such an event... So here are my top 5 ways i think he might of marked this very special occasion

1.) A fine cup of coffee at a favorite coffee shop with as many friends as who are free and wish to turn up for a coffee, a chat and who knows what else time permitting...

2.) There would sure to be a diary entry made....for no important event would pass by without being enshired in a diary entry

3.) A visit to the resting place, embarked on in a comfortable, polyester shirt, black cord jeans, fedora hat and sunglasses.

4.) A cafe lunch, once again with as many friends who are free to turn up...

5.) An afternoon brewsky (Maybe a beer or maybe a scotch) once again with friends, sure to continue well into the evening, coversation sure to encompass the person, for whom the gathering had been convened, as well as many other favorite topics of the time.

So to big bro, i'll do my best to remember you in the most befitting way i can, starting out by bringing you a nip of your favorite scotch, followed by sharing a fine coffee with our parents in a shop you knew well and ending out your day having a dinner and drinks with a friend...

Rest in peace mate!!

Have you seen any wombats with rabbit ears?

I was recently reminded of a story from a few years ago while on a trip to an animal park south of sydney, for the most part it was a fairly normal day with normal sights you would see at animal park....That was, until we came to the Wombat enclosure!

Sure there was a Wombat in the enlosure and strangely also a Rabbit, that was somewhat odd, not really the sort of animals you would imagine to share an enclosure...After standing at the enclosure for a few minutes we noticed the strange house mates, got up close and personal with each other, in fact very close and personal!

The wombat (quite a bit bigger then the rabbit) took the "high ground" (I still can't help but think...oh that poor rabbit) before they began engaging in enthusiastic horizontal gymnastics together!

As we stood there watching this very abnormal act of nature, a young girl standing with her parents asked "What are they doing?" to which the mother quikly replied "Oh they're just cuddling sweety"
