The old saying it never rains but it pours has been apt in more ways than one. On the first sunny day after all the rain I took the dog for a run on Belongil Beach and came back to find my car's wing mirror had been smashed. This follows news of the first car theft in Ewingsdale in quiet Parkway Drive.
I had to go to Sydney for a day in the miserable weather for a final marketing and PR meeting for my new book, "Monsoon", which comes out the end of October. I raced into my dressmaker friends, Len and Max, before going to the publishers as the boys are making me a couple of outfits to take overseas next month. I got out of the taxi and while Max was making me a cup of tea went to make a phone call and discovered I didn't have the new Blackberry. Eek! I'd answered a call at the airport and thought I'd dropped it instead of putting it in my pocket. I wish someone would design a handy phone-bag. However as I use the same taxi service they rang and the driver found it in the car and ran it back to me. Phew. My flight back at 4pm was delayed a bit but that was ok. As all the other regional flights departed our bus finally rolled up and we head across the rainy tarmac and into the plane. We flash our boarding passes and settle into our seats. I was near the front, opening my book when the last passenger, a woman, asked the attendant whether she could have an aisle seat. Whereupon the girl looked more carefully at her boarding pass and informed the woman she was on the Dubbo flight, not Ballina. I quickly spoke up and said I wanted to go to Ballina too. The attendant asked if anyone else on board wanted Ballina and everyone put up their hand. Well this flight is going to Dubbo she announced testily. At the end of a tiring day to land at the wrong airport would not have gone down well. The final blow of the week? Boris was down in the Manning Valley and I asked him to collect from the cleaners my favourite outfit I'd worn to give a speech down there. He arrived home minus the clothes and when I started to complain he told me - 'The dry cleaners burned down.'
I rang Max and Len and ordered a replacement outfit!
Cheers.
