do thunderstorms cause BO?

Me?

Frightened of thunder?

Don't be silly.

I'm big. I'm brave. I'm male. There is no way I would be scared of something so scientifically explainable.

I don't run away. I don't hide . I don't seek out small places. I don't quiver or hyperventilate or flatten my ears.

Big brave macho blokes like me are never ever afraid of just a little noise.

It is pure coincidence that there happened to be thunder at the same time I became aware of my personal hygiene problems. Honest.

the right thing to do

Only one post last week. Sorry about that. No excuses. It wasn't like I didn't have anything to write about. I did heaps. I just seemed to have had my mind elsewhere. No, actually, I didn't seem to have my mind elsewhere, I DID have it there. And I know exactly where.

But I fixed it.

I have just booked flights to Townsville for this Wednesday. I can't let my girl fly off to war without someone there to wave her goodbye (and, probably, weep buckets). With her husband out bush and her little sister arriving an hour after she does customs, she was due to leave alone.

Now, it's not going to happen.

As an added bonus, I will get to see my baby and welcome her to her new home.

My credit card might not be happy but my head and my heart are.
