Walkabout refers to a rite of passage where male Australian Aborigines would undergo a journey during adolescence and live in the wilderness for a period as long as six months
I often go walkabout, not for six months, when I want to think about things. Growing up on the coast whenever I was upset about something, in a bit of trouble or didn’t have enuf money I’d go walkabout on the beach for a few hours and I’d always feel better when I got back. I’m not sure if it was the exercise or just the time thinking but it is something that works for me.

I just saw the weather on the local news here and there is a good cold front coming through tonight. Snow is forecast on the ground – that only happens once a winter or sometimes not at all.
It is going to be nice and cold tomorrow morning so I’m going to keep working for another couple of hours, watch a movie and maybe have a Tim Tam or two (chocolate biscuit). Actually, I just had a look at what movies I have and I’ve got nothing!!! I’ve just started watching the Stargate SG-1 show – I hadn’t seen 5 minutes of it and Kip gave me a 10 Season DVD set so looks like that will be what I’ll do.
What would be nice though would be to have a cute guy (or girl) to cuddle tomorrow morning. Being somewhat afraid of any kind of long term relationship it isn’t something I get to do that often but I am a fan.
