is back! I still don't know how it happened. I left my car with Barry the Mechanic for a service, as I have done for the past 11 years, and somehow Barry and my car had an entanglement. Barry was taken to hospital with cracked ribs. Three months later Barry's ribs have recovered, though he still has lumps and scars, and Azaria / The River Rat is back on the road
and looking respectable. I see a lot of dingled cars driving around and now I understand why. That repair job cost nearly $6000. Fortunately Barry's insurance paid for it. I also understand now the sheer convenience of having a car. If I need something I can zoom out and get it. Before, Jill and I would have to walk and that would be the one thing we achieved that day.
So, have car, will travel. And off to Triabunna we drove for Maria Voices' Carols at Our Park. I left Jill with Oscar, Miya and Bilbo Baggins at Georgia's. Arriving at Our Park was like coming home. It's wonderful when you know just about everyone. This year was even better cos Georgia is in the choir.
setting the scene
the go-go girls
Georgia belts it out
Coll tries to read the music through multiple lenses
And through all this joyous madness, and despite the wintry weather, birds join us. I am so lucky to be able to melt back into my old Tribes community but also have the anonymity of my Bellerive life.
