BEAUTIFUL Morning – Woke up next to a dog racing track – Yes since Bess left things have gone to the dogs hehe – Also next to a lovely pond in a little town (see pic) called Mooroopna
BUSTED BY THE FEDS – Had 3 very angry federal police bang on our door the other night – Seem’s you’re not allowed to park within 7 meters of an airport fence. Signs might be nice chaps. Anyway by the end of it we were talking babies and the best of mates haha
KIDS STUFF
Thanks to Rita I took a little detour to Shepperton and Kids World. BlueBelle loved it – Actually Shepperton is a really nice place. Painted cows all over the place! Strange but nice.
I’ll start heading up to Albury – I heard there are some nice spots around there – Any tips PLEASE!
SAD STORY – BIG LESSON
A little girl so traumatised by her experience at the dentist to remove her milk teeth that she refused to open her mouth again, starved to death yesterday http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/1028696/communication-failure-blamed-for-girls-starvation
The crazy thing is the fear response is supposed to PROTECT us from death, but we see here, and in other cases like suicide, that the mind perceives the threat as GREATER THAN DEATH!
Imagine the willpower you would need to do this! Well this is the DARK side of the power you posses. You have MORE than enough power to do anything you want. You just have to learn to control it.
It may seem crazy that she could go this far. But is it any less crazy when we allow our ancient survival mechanism to run our life, when they were much better equipped to keep us out of the way of saber tooth tigers !
I am going to use this girl’s sad story as a reminder of the power we posses to control if we choose and the irrational nature of my own fear response when it kicks in.

I knew you would like Shepparton. I forgot to tell you that is the home of SPC (Shepparton Preserving company). They have an outlet store where you can buy bucket loadsof canned fruit for a fraction of what you pay in the store.
Enjoy Canberra matey, might see you down there…
Hi Geoff,
What a story. That was really useful for me today, thanks for sharing it.
I live in Canberra
I checked out the What’s On sites and you might like to take Miss BlueBelle to the Grand Party in the Park if you’re around this Sunday: http://www.canberrakids.com.au/event/ (you’ll have to scroll down).
There’s also Questacon, although you might want to check age levels for activities – and there is an awesome kids’ playground in the suburb Kambah where my friends take their 2 year old regularly. I’d be happy to give you directions for that one.
cheers
Kate
