In Vancouver Island parlance - it chucked it down again all night here. I get the feeling that there will be no tanned Jen returning home from Oz.
I didn't sleep well at all and I dreamt this morning that I went to a party at Carol's (hi Carol!). Although it was apparantly in Calgary. At the party, I threw my jacket in the crawlspace - like a low cellar that ran across the house, but when I went to get it - it was gone. Someone told me that Sipes had had his parking money stolen but my entire wallet was gone. Everything. My licence, credit cards, money - well you get the point. I lost my entire identity.
Then Matt walked in and took me back.
What do you think that means? Some deep dark malevolent part of myself believes that I have to give up everything (erm, which I actually would have to) to be here? Or just that I'd written about him last night?
Whatever.
Today, I've been to Canal Rocks and for a drive around the Margaret River wine country. I've actually only been out of the house for 2 and a half hours but I've driven past roughly 30 wineries, two breweries, two cheese farms and an olive oil farm. They're pretty packed in out here, I tell ya.
Anyways, I only stopped at the Hayshed Hills winery - it came highly recommended and I wanted to taste the white port I'd bought to take back to Perth for Drew - unfortunately they didn't have any so I ended up with three bottles of wine and a tshirt. Of course!
I also went to the Margaret River dairy farm to pick up dinner for the next two days - no more dodgy seafood combinations for me thanks - and got a variety of cheese and yoghurt for $18. I'll come back later and give you a list and a picture. Then to some place called Glynys to taste a couple of ports.
I'm not sure if I'm going to ship just some or all of them home - it's a chance but it will totally suck to have to carry them around in Sydney and then home. Maybe if I pack them in seperate boxes - it'll be pricey but hey, they were pricey wines. So maybe that's fitting.
Now, it's 1:40 pm and I'm sitting in the Dunborough Hotel Three Bears Pub having some sort of Pale Ale before heading to the bakery for lunch and then maybe home again. I think I've done enough for today - I'm fatigued. ha.
Sign on the wall in here..."BEER. Making ugly people better looking since 1862."
Also - did anyone think a Pub named the Three Bears is a tad bit strange in a country without bears? Or was that just me?
