The wind is intense… I’m looking up a street in Comodoro Rivadavia. There are four big three-pronged wind turbines up on the hill. Each blade would be ten metres in length or something. Quite impressive... except they’re not facing the wind, hence stationary…
Mum says: “Andy. I’m a bit cross with you about the esky. We have about a thousand wet plastic bags in it.”
“It's not my fault” says Andy.
“Well you cleaned up the car.”
End of the argument…Tim writes:
Ben was at the wheel as we left lunch and Andy was at the glove box…
200kms to drive to get to El Calafate (pronounced cala-fartie) near the glacier…
Ben found somewhere to do some chin-ups, what a relief!.. 10pm…did some push-ups…(Another relief).
Ben didn’t sleep well that night… in the Coleman tent…drizzling rain…leaking tent… Pete was having a bit of a sleep walk parade too… Then later in the night, Pete was sleeping at the door in a puddle. The conversation [which sounds like it could have been lifted from "The Adventures of Pooh"] went something like this:
Ben: “Pete get up, you’re sleeping in a puddle.”
Pete: ”Oh. I was lost.”
Ben: “OK. Just come over here and go to sleep.”
Pete: “Are you sure that’s the right way?”
Ben: “Yeah.”
Pete: “OK. Thanks.”
And they went back to sleep. [Tiddly pom.]

What a glorious family shot - freezing, coats, hats - Patagonia - thanks...
You know there are moments in this life ABD that I glimpse heaven so clearly - this is one - with us standing around in His glorious house and Ben in a pair of jeans with no backside - did he ever wear a pair with the backside in? What I mean is did he always show his underwear off to the world? Like the photo in the supermarket - oh sorry they are speedos (I always think they are just glorified jocks), Matt pulling down Ben's pants - OK so two photos (now three) I exaggerate again ...but you can see there is a BIT of a theme - and of course there was the external painting of our house with no arse in his pants...no photo evidence of that but...mmmmm...we miss you Ben and always have Viva on full volume when it is on!
lol..pooh bear! love it :) reminds me of my brothers sleep walking antics.
