Apologies to my Readers

I must apologise to all my readers who have commented during the past fortnight. I have been unable to reply because my internet connections have been so slow that replying would take far too long. And I do have to work for a living here, as well. How horribly unfair!

What I can do is try to post an occasional image of the area where I am currently living.

Here is a road sign I found about 70Km from here.  It is out beyond Balfour Downs, for those Aussies who are interested. A five hour drive from Newman, across creeks and mud.

And here is the hill which overlooks the community. Taken at sunset with the sun breaking through after being hidden for most of the day. Containing quite a good percentage of Uranium it is rumoured to be the cause of the little sparkles in the water!

So, loyal and valued readers, I will keep trying to post when I can, but please forgive me for not being as good a blogger as I would wish. Another fortnight or maybe a month and normal service will be resumed when I return to civilisation.

I may try to get a pizza delivered this weekend – - -

  1. That Pilbara Red is just as beautiful as the other side of the lake … but you are not to come home with green, scaly skin or two heads! Stay away from the uranium, please!

  2. I been in the Pilbara’s often and yes it is the best red this earth has to offer.
    But maybe a bit information as to what you are doing there would help us to feel even more sorry for you poor bugger of a working blogger :)

    Keep up the good pictures, print them as a book, sell it and retire on it !

  3. Now I get it, you try and make us feel sorry for you, but hey, not this little kid, I did a bit of looking around and guess what I found?
    Have a look: http://www.darwinnewsblog.com
    hahaha, guess I gotcha

  4. oh my…. was that really a beard? or a chin full of octopus tentacles?

  5. Sure been missing you, Archie. Come back soon!

  6. That hill is so beautiful! And the water 8km wonderful too. Thanks for the update. xo

  7. How long is a fortnight?

  8. Bring me back some of that water. I could use some new mutations.

  9. John, that was most unfair! :)

    Nursemyra, That was Cthulhu himself! Just don’t let raincoaster know.

    Az, I’ll be back as soon as I stop earning filthy lucre :)

    Lily, we are developing signs like that all across the outback. With more and more tourists we are losing more and more people each year to the desert and its apparent lack of water.

    Mist, I had forgotten that in parts of the USA, fortnights are unknown. They are, in fact, fourteen days, or two weeks.

    Raincoaster, If I try to send you a bottle of this water, I think we would both end up in Gauntanomo Bay!

  10. I hear there are lots of men there; I don’t mind.
