Here I am sitting upstairs on
the balcony on Mt Moil in
Darwin all alone with a kilo of fresh prawns, salad and dip, can of beer with little droplets of condensation running down the sides and nobody to SHARE them with.The temp is about 26 degree's, the rain is bleep istantly coming down (global warming is not fashionable here yet) One neighbours has gone to Brisvagus down Mexico way, the other side are in
the pool with the kids, so can't upset that and the ones out the back have their IN LAWS up, definitely can't waste the....sorry, intrude on them.
Was going to take the prawns to
Adelaide River tio SHARE them with "old mate" at Mt Bundy Station, but because of the rain bleep istantly coming down I thought the roads might be a bit dodgy, and didn't won't to get stuck with a kilo of prawns going off in this climate.
I would dearly love to send one to each of you but I only have 36 and aren't the Posties on srike... ?
Well they are up here I'm sure...and anyway that creates the dilemma of which 36 of you, would I send a prawn to?
So here I am sitting here listening to the concogophanny....err ....concockufuny...err... arrh buggar it, the racket the neibhours frogs are making (must talk to them about their frogs) typing on the lap top with one hand and peeling a prawn with the other.. yeah, we can do that up here at Mt Moil, wondering what I should do so as not to look over indulgent...
Do you understand my dilemma??

G’day Noel
We are having the same problem sitting on
the balcony of our apartment overlooking the marina in
Darwin. Fortunately for us we have 3 kilo’s, the lady from the boat Austral delivers them to our door for the princely sum of $45, for three kilo’s that is! It is surprising just how few terrorists we have visit this time of year, the build up I can understand but the wet?? That condensation on the beer can, can be annoying if somewhat embarrassing as the resulting wet crotch can be difficult to explain to newly arrived guests, a stubby holder is the preventative.
We had the pleasure of a couple of weeks in
Adelaide over Christmas, the twenty degree variance in temperature over a TWO hour period helped confirm that we made the right decision when we moved north.
Life's hard.
