welcome to every single camping trip I've ever been on Jodie...either wind or rain every time.
Glad you're all ok and that there's no fires about...(NSW is about 300 thousand miles² of territory for the non Aussie guys

10.05 Wed, damp and thick fog.
Good morning Augustian family
I didn't enjoy driving into work this morning, the traffic was very heavy and the fog is really thick, not good, anyway I got here in one piece so all is well.
I had a good nights sleep last night and that's always a bonus but the trigger finger is still playing up.
Jodie, it sounds like an adventure and one you will be able to remember. Just stay safe.
Hi Slim, you have yourself a good day.
It all sounds good Steve, I'm sure you'll soon get into the routine. What are you going to do about the gym? Make sure you eat properly too and get the sleep you need.
Ha ha Dee, typical camping weather.
Off to do some work now but I'll be back
Stay safe and sober
*****
JUST FOR TODAY, I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions

Helloooooo,
Jodie that sounds like a great adventure!
Slim, haha gross.
Grace, yes I think our twenty somethings are twins.
Steve, pretty impressive!
Everyone else, hellooooooo!
Things are good, same old same old really, punctuated by some highs and lows, today I went looking for boots and got bored with it after trying on five pair, went to the bookstore and happier with my new book, Dean Koontz "77 Shadow Street". I hit a morning meeting so am in for the night.

Hey guys, it's midnight here so today is day 35, I'm 5 hours into my 12 hour night shift and I'm all good..My little portakabin is nice and warm even though it is freezing outside..I'm so glad I spent so much time getting my body used to cold weather cos it's certainly paying off now . Getting a little tired now but I've still got 7 hours to go, I have to check in with control every hour and I have to do patrols every hour so that'll keep me awake. Hope everyone is well...Take care....Steve...

Hang in there, Steve. Shift work isn't easy, but you are young and strong. Glad your body is accommodated to the cold. I'm so happy for you I could bust! 35 days--you rock!
Jodie, good to hear from you. I have to confess, I've been worried about you, what with the heat and fires and all. So good to know you're safe and all right.

Good morning August friends
I hope you're all good and well. I did get some sleep last night, but not a restful one for some reason, just kept having wierd dreams and then waking up and just being generally restless, but I don't feel too tired all things considered.
Last work day this week for me, then the real work begins, children and parents!
Slim, I didn't get chance to check in last night so I've still not seen your pic and I can't wait now after reading Stairs' comment!
Hi Stairs, lovely to see you as always, we don't hear from you so much these days, but I'm guesssing it's down to having a busy life.
Why, what's your twin done now? Perhaps she's missing her brother, shall I post him over?
Dean Koontz, one of my colleagues has given me one of his books to read, but I can't for the life of me think what it's called. It's not the one you've bought though.
Dee, ha ha, I've just noticed your Avatar now. Good one.
Jodie, it sounds like your having a really good time and you sound 'chilled out' too. Good for you, you deserve it.
Steve, I bet you're all curled up warm and asleep in bed now. Sounds like your enjoying your job, though I don't envy you a night shift or the cold. Takes some adjusting to your body clock working shifts, so keep HALT in mind. Now your working does this means you have to let your wife have access to your kitchen? Lol.
Hi Nuway, it's always lovely to see you posting. I'm hoping all is well with you and you're staying focused, though I'm sure you are. Have a good day.
See you all later, work is calling.
*****
Just for today I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appal me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

Wow three quarters through day 35 and I'm so so tired....I was awake for 26 hours and I only managed to get three hours sleep this morning when I got home...It's gonna take my body some serious adjusting...Most weeks I'll be working two 7 till 7 night shifts and two 7 till 7 day shifts...In between that I need to fit in sleep,eating and hitting the gym....I tried eating at work last night but my stomach would not work after 1am and It made me feel sick.....Like I said it's gonna take time to adjust.....And yes Grace I have had to hand over the kitchen to the wife as she has to deal with the kids food,I'm still waiting for her to make me food but I guess I'll have to wait till pigs learn how to fly!!!....In 8 years of marriage she has only cooked for me once and that was a disaster lol....She really ain't to hot in the kitchen....Any ways,gotta go as my boy gotta go to his karate lesson....Take care....Steve...

Hi all
Just popping in before I go to bed. It has gone really cold here tonight, freezing. It's forecast to snow next week, yuk.
I joined the slimming class tonight that I wanted to join last week, but didn't because my friend was ill. Well, I'm officially a chubster so no more eating rubbish for me, all good healthy food from now on.
Wow, Steve, your body clock is really going to have to do some adjusting, don't be surprised if you have an upset stomach for a while, it's very common with shift workers until they become accustomed to the eating at strange hours etc. Keep remembering HALT.
Nuway, I love your new Avatar, very cheeky.
Slim, I've just seen your photo and I just don't know what to say, lol, apart from I'm glad I don't have to drive it.
See you tomorrow.
Sleep well.
