September 2008

This is Jack.He has decided to cycle across Australia.  As you do.

So, on Thursday the eleventh of September, lil ol’ Jackman set off (with Dad) from Perth, to ride all the way back over to the Gold Coast.   So Harry and I have been home alone for almost a week now (oo

oeeiiioo - supposed to be the freaky supernatural sound effect.  Really didn’t work.)
To be honest I just find it interesting that having us two freaks at home alone was considered to be a good idea.  But whatever.  We have another week and then we’ll fly to Adelaide, then catch a TWELVE HOUR bus to Ceduna.  Cenduna’s  a teeny little baby town twelve hours from Adelaide

But sorry, back to Jack.  (It’s all about him right now.)  Well, he and Dad are riding a very long way for charity - Big Brothers Big Sisters Australia.  I think someone should mention to him that he is not a Big Sister, but apparently that doesn’t really matter.

But yeah, seems they’re going really well, they got to Uncle Trevor’s house in Kalgoolie earlier than they thought they would, which is always nice.

That’s really all I have to say.

Ja nee.

Dad and Jack in Kalgoolie.  Or somewhere equally as dusty.

When making pizza, always check that the cheese is fresh.

Ever tried to get the taste of off cheese out of your mouth?

Much more difficult than you’d think.

I am so happy right now.

My big stupid term three year twelve exams are over!!  They’re the ones all the teachers have been trying to scare us with since about grade seven or eight.  I think I did okay.  Messed up Maths completely, but you get that.

It’s a really bizarre feeling right now.  I don’t have anything at all to do, which I’ve been looking forward to for SO long, but now I pretty much can’t handle it.  I’m so bored it’s ridiculous.  Egh.  But whatever.

Or maybe that’s just what they WANT me to think.

You know that massive, quite ridiculous test that you can’t study for and it doesn’t really matter what you get, cause your schools results as a whole are what really matter.

Yeah.  That’s today.

Just shoot me.  (Like that cool TV show Dad and I always used to watch.)
