Day 88 - 7.5.2012

Today CupCake got her first round of immunisations, so no debate on that topic from me. 
Unless she develops a disorder.  Then I will jump on the anti-immunisation bandwagon.

Going to the hospital on Saturday night, and seeing how paranoid I get around sick children clinched the deal for me. 

Oddly, I actually had to take one of the medications home and give it to her myself as they were unable to at the clinic.  Not quite sure if that's kocher. 

Today I also saw a water rat.  It's been years since I have seen one, on account of having moved away from the river ten years ago. 

I knew it was a rat immediately - the bubbles that rise to the surface of the river are a dead giveaway. As are the swirled patterns that form in the river.  From that point, it only takes a minute or so for the tell-tale rodent to show its furry head.

This made me nostalgic, and I headed further along the river, remembering where the 'Australia chair' used to be (It was a crude chair carved from a Gum tree in the shape of Australia). It is no longer there, so I closed my eyes and imagined it instead.

Further along I admired the old Ghost Gum that once caught on fire. 

In the early 1980's my sister and I donned yellow plastic raincoats and went to watch the firemen put out the blaze (we didn't want to get wet).  It has been caused by a lightening strike - what they say about water courses and thunderstorms is very much true.

The rest of my walk was littered with thoughts of the other strollers. 
Why weren't they at work?
