Sell by Date

June, 2008 :

Yes, time is passing by fast but it does that whatever, our day yesterday was spent by taking a boat over to Keats Island, trekking through mature forest and having wine and cheese in a secluded cove by Salmon Rock, and yes the day flew by, today I'll be digging up grass in the front garden and around about three o'clock we'll end up at the pub, drinking Stella (which is on special on Thursdays) and the day will fly by, and I've no need to teach anyone philosophy or point out the bleeding obvious about time left.

The thing that is clear is that we are all on an invisible list and that will not change, there is no choice on our expiry date or the piano, which is already falling. The choice is how we spend the few days left, even micromanage that down to how do we spend today and hope that no silly bugger in a Honda or a logging truck decides to snuff out the precious moments left.

Keep smiling at the wildlife, I was up early yesterday, woke sharp awake at 4.30am and had a few hours around the house before sliding back into bed, during that time the world around me awoke, the birds and allsorts of other critters started their morning chorus and the creek behind the house added it's soundtrack. Then it was morning again, coffee and toast and a boat ride to contemplate. I said to my missus on the boat ride out that I felt like I was thirty again, but feeling young isn't going to stop that bloody piano from falling...

Keep those reflexes up...
