again provided a generous feast this Sunday after M. Promptu led us on a random perambulation around the village. The runners ended up lost again, jumping fences and bashing through weedy paddocks to get back to civilisation. We were joined for the run by Sebastian (a young dog) who made us all feel rather fit by comparison with him....
Leave Pass was the only hasher who failed to read his emails and hence turned up at 4 pm. Good on him - somebody had to do it!
Superhacker has been a real stalwart over the last few months, hosting a number of great runs. She's doing it again this coming Sunday in the valley - don't miss it!
And here's a little story to pad out this week's post:
A little boy has a nightmare and when his dad goes in to his room he's sobbing.
"What is it, son?"
"I dreamed my guinea pig was dead!"
"Well, that's just a bad dream. It doesn't mean anything. Go back to sleep."
But the next morning, the guinea pig is lying dead in its cage!
A few nights later, the boy has another nightmare.
"I dreamed that Fido was dead!" he sobs.
"It's just a bad dream," says the father. "Go back to sleep."
But the next day, Fido the dog wanders onto the road, and is killed by a car!
Then it happens again, a few nights later. The boy wakes screaming from a nightmare. This time his mother goes in to him. The father hears her say, "What is it?"
"I dreamed that my daddy was dead!"
"It's just a bad dream." says the mother. "Go back to sleep."
And the boy does go back to sleep. But the father lies awake worrying for the rest of the night. In the morning, he's in two minds about whether to go to work. In the end he decides that he is being ridiculous, and sets off. But when he is almost side-swiped by a truck, he changes his mind, resolves to take a sickie, and heads back home.
As he turns into his street he is shocked to see an ambulance outside his house, and a number of the neighbours standing around in a circle.
"What's happened?" he calls out in a panic.
"It's OK," one of the neighbours reassures him. "Your family is fine. It's just that the milkman dropped dead outside your house."
