This much I know: my parents are somewhere in the desert, in Australia.
This is not very helpful, since 44% of Australia is desert (and a further 37% is "semi-arid"... I think that included our backyard).
Mum called a few days ago and said, "I just thought I'd say bye, we're leaving in half an hour" – as if they were going to pop out to Grandma's. They've been planning their desert trek for a while, but evidently didn't tell any of their five children much about it.
I emailed my brother a little while ago and said, So, are Mum and Dad going to Ayers Rock, or where? He emailed back:
"They left in the Landrover. Stan and Glenys went too, they took plenty of food and will be gone for a while. Hopefully Dan knows where they went."
Yes. As a family, we have it so together.

I hope you've heard from your parents by now. Tsk! The older generation is SO irresponsible!
ReplyDeleteI love that photo. I like to look at Uluru in satellite photos sometimes. One time my daughter, who was 3 at the time, was looking over my shoulder and said "Uluru!" when she saw what I was looking at. I was dumbfounded! I asked her "how do you know about Uluru, honey?" And she said, "Little Einsteins!" See? *Some* tv can be educational. All things in moderation, including moderation!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you found your parents. I'm interested to learn where they were hiding all this time.
