It was raining the day I bought her and once again, with some help from Paula, we laid her down on the back seat of the car, covered her with the car blanket and I proceeded to the doctors. I was sure the police would be at the car when I returned, for this one really did look like I had a body wrapped in a blanket on the backseat! She's managed to knock Lucy off her post and take prime spot at the waterfall.
The first night I had the fairy lights all
hooked up, I put them onto a timer so I wouldn't have to go out at some
unholy hour to turn them off. I set the timer to turn them off at midnight.
It took me ages getting them all going, typical hardware store lights, you
needed to speak Taiwanese to understand the instructions. Eventually I had
them all going, so I raced inside to look out the window to admire my
lighting effects. I got to the kitchen window right on the tick of midnight,
and off they went! I had to wait til the following night to see what they
looked like from the house. Geez, was I pis... peeved. In the meantime I had spoken with my mum and dad, who were caravanning around Queensland at the time, and told them of my latest quest. They're used to my spur of the moment ventures and therefore knew I'd be on a mission till it was completed. However it took my father's fancy I think and he told me a day or so later that he and mum had found a little something for me, at the local markets, to add to the collection. He wouldn't say what it was but, knowing my mum's penchant for the markets, I fully expected something quite out of place, like a naked gnome or a pink cement flamingo, to arrive.
