Boredom Hits

How quickly the mighty fall. Only yesterday, I was the proud owner of several vivid jellyfish stings (it's cool, you can actually see a pattern that the tentacles have etched across my skin, like groovy Sixties' wallpaper) and today, due to a bloody cyclone, we have been laid low by the all encompassing disease of boredom. That's right, Cyclone Hubert ('coincidentally', Mike's middle name is Hubert - he caused this, I know he did!) is about to hit Exmouth and all fun outdoorsy activities have been cancelled. This would have been ok, if fun outdoorsy activities weren't the absolute only things to do here.

Malheureusement, they are.

So, these are our current alternatives:

1) Cryptic crosswords
2) Booing each other sporadically
3) Watching a fuzzy tennis game (TV reception is rubbish up here)
4) Eating inferior Australian chocolate
5) Reading the 'erotic fiction' section of Cosmo
6) Tickling
7) Waiting until a respectable time to start drinking


See? Not everything when you're travelling is fun and escapism. You all have my permission to smirk when 160 kph winds are threatening to rough up our poorly shackled together dorm room.
