some young humans were sitting in the water in a row,,,,, they were looking at a boy who was standing half way up the cliff on a ledge,,,,,jump they called out jump,,,,, he didn't want to then he did,,,,,,kersplash,,,, easy!!! a wussy boy ,,,,,

there were lots of humans in the river playing ,,,,,some were very white,,,, two were floating on inflatable shoes,,,, the name of the inflatable shoes was havaianas,,,,,, it looked so comfy to be floating on the havaianas,,,, the girl's was pink with flowers and the boy's was like the australian flag,,,,,,,everyone was laughing laughing,,,,,no one minded that the river was much dirtier than the sea,,,,

some big men climbed the cliff and jumped in from a higher ledge,,,, to do better than the boys,,,,some girls were looking,,,,not everyone was looking,,,,

Wardell

To Pliny the Elder, greetings

Why haven't you replied? Are you offended I told you to go to the shops?

We went to a Pie Shop in Wardell yesterday. It was painted red outside. They make their own pies and you can see them doing it. Their special pie of the day was Eggs Benedict, which Allan liked. You would probably have liked the Lentil Pie. Why? It just seemed like you.

Wendy dropped us off by the river on our way back from Patches Beach, and we walked home from there. On one side of the road was the wide brown choppy River Richmond, and on the other, sugar canefields and grass. The wind was everywhere.

There were a few houses near the road or set back down grass tracks. Some of the houses were large and sprawling, with big sheds, and some were smaller, painted pink or blue. The owners favoured Buddha as a garden ornament, and palm trees and the Australian flag. They did not appear to like throwing anything away.

Closer to home we saw a grey crane. It flew into a glade and sat on a branch above a billabong.
I took a photo, just for you, Pliny. You know I'm not that interested in birds.
