After the flurry of the US presidential elections, the Turtle House blog has gone down from about 200 hits an hour back to about 10-20 hits an hour with quite a few folk interested in getting a daily update of the journey from Cairns to Melbourne by road in December. I will work out a standard format for that...a picture of the day...what is out the window, where we are staying, food, etc. I always thought it would be an innovative thing to do such a journey and only indicate where we were each day by the Indigenous Nations names of places, and I think that would still be a great idea for someone to do, but I can't be bothered. Probably be better for some indigenous person to do that one.

I like Vladimir Putin. He has all those excellent Libran qualities of riding horses bare chested across the steppes, and wrestling with tigers, and always dressing well...meticulously. All Librans I know, both men and women, do those things quite often. As for Trump the Gemini, well, he obviously has all those Gemini characteristics we all love...innovation, robustness, assertion, laughter, charisma, and self deprecation. With Mr Xi Jinping of China also a Gemini, the world is in good hands now.

anyway, my life is not about me anyway...sigh...a pure Libran sentiment. I think of myself as a Libran, of Viv, my colleague, of DJ, my step-daughter, as Librans, as I think of Vladimir Putin, as a Libran...faced with a world of Geminis...Trump...; Mr Xi of China as a Gemini...but as for Hillary Clinton...as a Scorpio...wow, is she going to hate everyone except herself, as is the Scorpio way, for her own failure, and seek to make everyone suffer for their crimes against her......anyway with Trump and Putin,etc I think, hey, this world will all work out quite well. Librans and Geminis in charge, damn good people. Damn good world.

After the joys of the day are done, looking forward to the Great Drive South, oh dear, I really do need to find some job there. Reality, it is such a bastard of a thing. It just keeps happening.

you try and see how it feels, at 63.

I never enter into the notion of what Australia is, or means, because, having being born here I, understandably, really have no idea at all about what it is or means...but I'm looking forward to this journey, just to show Mrs Fitz around the whole East Coast of it, a bit.

I expect that in the time from now to heading off to Melbourne 20th December, at 603am I will be faced by 'The Usual Consequences of Action on Earth'...being...outrageous unaffordable personal or financial expense...or both...but then, after that, the clear clean lines of a human journey. On we go. Why not?

Talking about the day, now that is REAL Human SUPERFOOD.

DJWaWa at dinner time in Cairns after the journey from Townsville to here. That is the super fresh mud crab from Cardwell. It was perfect.
