Dougwe is back at "The" Lake again


Yep I arrived at Greens Lake, Central Vic around 10.00am and set up within the hour. Rain all the way up for the six hour trip and nice during the afternoon though. Not a lot here at this point in time but I'm sure that's the weather keeping people away.

As usual I will call a committee meeting to discuss departure day. No hurry.

I've never sat on a porta potti in the rain before. But with all this wet weather we've been having, it occurred to me that my pop up tent doesn't have a roof. Has anyone seen a pop up tent with an umbrella sticking out the top?

Golly Molly (Sue) - head on out to the lake - it is a great spot - take your fishing gear - the perch and carp like corn kernels - just load it up, and leave line in overnight - the fish seem to just jump on.

And Garykelly - the picture of you in your loo tent with not roof in the rain will stay in my mind for a while!!!!!!

If the painter, builder and financial advisor all get their act together I wouild be there in a flash Sue. So if your people and dougwe's people could talk to my people then maybe we can get a consensus on the situation so the way forward would be all clear.

You will love it up there Sue and Rod.

Just cannot keep away from the place can you. Must be something or one that is the attraction considering the weather, have fun Doug. We are in Hobart at the moment but will be heading back to Launceston tomorrow. Has not stopped raining, beit light since we go here four days ago to catch up with family and friends. We will be back in Melb on the 3rd of March. Take care out there and enjoy.

Gollymolly...I will be here until the long weekend I think. As for the me and myself I tried to leave them behind as suggested by a few last time but I found them stowed away in the back of the Prado when I opened up the door, bugger, I am the chair at these committee meetings so will be more assertive I think.

GaryKelly...Don't worry about no roof you won't have to flush mate.

Fireheart...I have instructed myself and I to speak to your people, don't hold your breath waiting for a result though, they are not reliable.

Happywanderer...I will get them to speak to your people as well.

Yes you have to wonder as something must be attracting him back to Greens Lake seeing as he lives virtually on the doorstep of Gods Country, the bush of Gippsland and the High Country.

Thanks bigw.
We nearly just got washed away in the last hour NeilnRuth. I had a river under the Avan for about 1/2 hour.
A change is as good as a holiday Ron and Shirley.

Dougy Mate !!  I am starting to worry about you ?? You have passed the point of talking to yourself ?? you are now starting to argue and disagree with the ''other 2 of you''

you say you are in charge, but you get contradicted by the '' myself you'' or the '' I You'' ??? and I am having trouble working out ?? confuseconfuseconfuseconfuse whether you are you ?? or you are the ''I;; ?? or you are the me ?? Or you are somebody else altogether ?? confuseconfuse Please explain ??

Dougwe has a girlfriend at Greens.------   No he has not ??? He is just waiting for the weather to heat up again >> in the Hope that those '' backpackers with the very skimpy, or Non-existent ?? swimsuits also return to Greens Lake biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

PS.  I heard around the traps ?? that if the backpackers do not return ?????  To save Dougwe from disappointment ??confuseconfuse

HW, [ Marge ] has said she still has her Teeny, Weeny, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, from her younger days, ?? So she said she will go for a swim in it, next time she sees Doug at Greens Lake, ??   I think that is very thoughtful and caring of her, Good on ya, Marge

That's no good at all Ken, I hate it when things like that happen. I had a similar thing many moons back. Got back to my car in a car park and passenger side had damage, I now park down back of car parks and park on top of whit line, take up two spots, now remember, I park right down the back out of the way so no problems caused.

I didn't see any whit /white lines at greens. You must theing you are in a caravan park LOL.

Are you in the same spot again or did you decide to try another spot ?

Hope the solar is still working OK.

I am getting my hot shower most nights still her at Kilmore so I am happy with mine.

You could come here for a while Doug and i could then convince you to go to Maffra and get involved in a bit of work and a lot of fun.

Regards
Brian

Hi Brian,

Yes I'm in the same same spot and will leave Thursday or Friday, earlier if need be but need to get home as the Prado is going to the car doctor to get a couple of things done before I migrate North till later this year.

That fun sounds good but work is a dirty word. It's a lot of fun here too and besides Gene keeps me going :)

They couldn't hack the pace mate. These young ones are like that.

Got some French backpackers up the beach a little, they thought I was too experienced though so I said I have only been travelling a short time :)
