I'm still in shock after hearing about Michael Jackson this morning!

Irrespective of what people thought of him as a person, the dude was a musical genius as far as I'm concerned. 

What a tragedy. What a waste.

I really feel for his kids. I hope they get the chance to grow up and lead normal lives... but I somehow doubt that will happen.

I still have my copy of 'Thriller'... it's one of my three all time favourite albums (the others are Meatloaf's 'Bat Out Of Hell' and Springsteen's 'Born In The USA' - yeah I know - they aint Country! LOL).

Survived last nights 40th Birthday party, despite the fact that I was feeling off-colour and really didnt feel like being sociable yesterday (lol). It was held out in the bush in an old community hall about 25 km from town...

These things are like relics from days of old when small communities used to gather for bush dances etc. in thier own little halls, as opposed to having to travel all the way in to town (think horse and buggy days! lol). In their own way they are quite charming. There are really only two of them left around here these days and this particular hall has been renovated since the last time I was there, with a new kitchen installed, all the walls and ceiling having been lined, and flushing toilets installed to replace the old 'long-drops'.

Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best, which only contributed to my anti-social kind of mood, and so I wasn't really in the mood to sit around the campfires outside in the misty rain telling dirty jokes etc... (though usually that's where I would most probably be found on such nights). Instead I stayed inside near the heaters and chatted with a few people who I haven't seen in quite a while.

All in all it was more enjoyable than I had expected it to be.. but still, drizzly nights in the middle of winter aren't exactly the best kind of nights for parties in the bush! lol

For the second week in a row I saw a TV show with somebody I know featured in it, which was quite interesting really. Last week it was Suzie's turn, this week it was a friend who lives locally who breeds race horses who had a story done on him on the racing channel. I'd always known he was into racing and breeding in a big way... I just didn't know how big until today! LOL

In recent weeks things have been rather busy on Facebook with a group of old school friends getting in contact, which has been good. We thought that one of our number had passed away a few years ago, which upset us all a bit, but while shopping today I bumped into another old school friend - who was a cousin of the guy who we thought had passed away - so I asked him about it. Apparently reports of Greg's death were an exaggeration... he's currently living in Port Macquarie and working as a teacher. Which is good news indeed.

So on that note, I think it's time I went and did some more work and email off the details of a few of these jobs I need to finish up and send out.

Ya'll take it easy folks! **hugs**
