You mean catch up with? Take a meeting with? How was it?

Oh we had a ball - 3 little boys and a father with the maturity of a 5 year old, no Mrs Horse, no baby

Caught a few fish, raced around like mad things, slept like logs, didn't bathe, didn't shave, lol.

That doesn't sound like a big departure from your normal routine.

Three little boys - four, if you count Pop - with a couple of days' growth. The thought is chilling.

Where did you go. I spent the last couple of days in Tathra. NSW south coast. Went swimming. damn cold

We stayed at Tuross Heads with my Great Aunt Marie and Uncle Phil for 2 nights and then we went down to Eden to see the whale museum, little boys like big skeletons, then we went home via the Snowy mountains highway, up through Cooma. Canberra is only 2 and half hours from Bega.

Didn't go to Tathra this time. Tuross is superb. Its got everything - good surfing beaches, 2 big lakes and a river. My Aunt's house is a stone's throw from Coila Lake with a beautiful northerly view over the lake and sea.

Uncle Phil was a circus performer - his father owned a circus around the early years of last century but it went broke because he thought keeping animals in cages was cruel and wouldn't keep any. Before that his father and his father's brothers were in the US and part of Barnum and Bailey's circus in its heyday as gymnasts. Uncle Phil told me the training for circus animals was very cruel in those days.

Uncle Phil was a gymnast in the circus until he got too old for it and became a clown. He got a job spruiking for Woolworths and Lowes and had some minor fame in Sydney for spruiking dressed as a clown on stilts. I vaguely remember it. He's 80 years old now but very fit.

How come all the place names in your country sound like something from a Sci-fi novel?

**Alexander's Horse** · June 3, 2002, 20:24

Er, because we might as well be on another planet?

Hey makeo, don't you mean Nimmitabel?

**Makeo** · June 3, 2002, 21:21

Hey makeo, don't you mean Nimmitabel?

er yeah.

**Alexander's Horse** · June 3, 2002, 22:24

Looks like I'll be in Granya this Friday

**finbar** · June 4, 2002, 01:32

Is that a breakfast cereal?

**Alexander's Horse** · June 4, 2002, 02:42

Might as well be - its a tiny little town near Albury where makeo lives.

I told him I was going but he didn't invite me over, he just emphasised what a long drive it was from Granya to his place
