10. My daughter's birthday
Ruth- Heh, I thought you were just being self-confident and listing yourself as a celeb. Yeah, early mornings are when my mind is most clear, and I can do stuff.
Soph- Yeah those Baldwins..how many are there? 17? They are Legion.
Izaac-I like that quote, 'just cook it'. You do get sick of the amount of choices these days.
Amy- I love markets. I could wander around markets every day. And garage sales. Bliss.
Beth- Yeah, the one small downside of the sea is the fairly strong chance that you will get eaten..
Pedro- I had to google pillion to know what one was. I now know. It's a good word.
Nathan- I thought you might say 'crowds'. You seem like a crowd person.
Guthers- If you look at him, Benecio Del Torro looks like a bulky Spanish caricature of Brad Pitt. Trully.
Wendy-my mind boggled briefly when you said 'tank', but I figure you just mean a water tank or something.
Laetitia-I like rivers, but get disconcerted when you can't see the bottom, or what is potentially lurking at the bottom. When I'd swim in the NT, I'd always imagine a million massive crocs, just lying on the bottom, looking up at me..
Kristina-Wow, that is awesome that you can see the snowcapped Rocky Mountains from yr window. I'd love to see that. I've not really ever seen proper snow.
Hicksy- Ahh, Living Colour! Those were the days..
Sophg-mmm new coffee machine. Exciting.
Georgina-I've never scuba dived. Would like to, it looks amazing.
Maso-Yeah, free lunches can always make a dud thing good.
Lu- i get those two mixed up a bit as well. I'd like to experience trick or treating, it looks fun.
Mark- Happy Birthday to your little girl, mate.
But Ben, aren't you concerned about all the creatures in the ocean looking at taking you out (in the mafia sense) for lunch? Things like sharks?
And I wouldn't swim in most NQ rivers - too many scaly-backed swamp dogs; but I don't normally swim in the ocean up here either - too many stingers.
I actually had Mary River - where the worst creatures are eels or perhaps a curious lung-fish - in mind.

Yea Ben, a water tank. Though I'm sure my boys would be stoked if we managed to find a broken down shooting-kind-of tank to store in our front yard, the neighbours and the landlord might not be though. Funny, we're not allowed to park a vehicle permanently on the grass, but the landlord has allowed this tank to lie there for more than 4 months now!
