It’s Time Again, Holiday Time

I told you a few weeks ago that I love going on holidays and holiday time is back again, I’ve got another weekend away coming up. I’m really looking forward to it this time as well.

This time I can’t go with my family because they all have some concert thing to go to that I’m not particularly fond of so they can’t come and I get to go with sa friend.

We are planning to camp out. I have a great tent, canvas, water proof, big enough to be really comfortable and its forecast to rain, so I may need all of  that. I hope it doesn’t rain on us because rain isn’t what you need when your go camping.

I don’t like getting up early, I resist it when I can, but we have to go at 4 am Friday. It’s a 4 hour trip to where we are meeting up with some of the others, and we meet at 9.

But getting up early on Friday will be just fine, I’ve got something great to look forward to. And I really am looking forward to it heaps.

But my car is pretty old, I really hope the car makes it there ok. It’s not that it’s breaking down all the time or anything, in fact it goes really well. But it is old and I just keep my fingers crossed that it makes it there and makes it back.

Saturday is going to be a wonderful day. Nothing is planned at all, just a hang about day to do what you want to do. I plan to take some fishing gear along and do some fishing, in fact I bought a new rod this morning. I broke my old fishing rod a while ago.

My old  broken rod was one I made a long long time ago. I bought the fibreglass blank and all the runners and made it myself and I’ve used it and used it. I was pretty impressed with myself that I managed to make my own fishing rod, no experience.

I have no idea how it broke at all. I was just walking through a patch of trees and then I looked at it and the tip was broken off. What happened to it? Who knows. But it was a pretty sad day and I had used that rod so much.

I found out today that it wasn’t worth a lot  of money. That’s because I went to a shop and bought a new one and it wasn’t expensive. But it still  had sentimental value, after all I made that rod myself.

And I couldn’t believe. 50 bucks for a new fishing rod. They certainly aren’t expensive now. But the new one isn’t the one I made. I’d rather my old one back than a new one. (more…)

I Love Holidays But I Hate It When They’re All Over

I told you I love holidays and I really do love holidays, but is really nice looking forward to them and it’s really sad when they’re finished.

It’s all done, my weekend I mean. And was it a great weekend? I loved it, though  getting up quite so early was a little tiring. Way too early in the morning for me.

I got up at around 5 am, really way early for me. It was way dark and it felt like the middle of the night. Was it hard to get myself out of bed, but I got out  because I knew that I had a good weekend to look forward to so that made it worth it.

I picked up my friend and we got started early. He had a lot of stuff to load into the car and we took longer to get going than I thought was a good idea really. Because we were meeting  some other cars on the way  and the meeting was at 9am, so we had to get started and get there on  time.

It was raining by the time we got there which was sad. That was a shame as it has been such good weather lately, the one weekend I want good weather its raining on us. But that’s weather, you cant do anything about it can you, even if you want to?

We were all camping (not great in the rain) and so we had to get there and put up the tent. We were lucky that by the time we got there most of the rain had all stopped. There was still a little bit but nothing like the rain we had on the way. It’s not  nice putting up a tent in the rain. And it was a long drive there.
