Thursday April 2nd, 2009: Confirmed KANGAROO SIGHTING!!!!

Sat around watching tv all day. Did come across American Idol, the episode from this previous Tuesday, so know I know that I can watch the current weeks episode, granted it’s an hour or so after the results air in the US. And the results show airs tonight. LOST airs on Wednesday night, but the episodes are about 2 weeks behind the US, so me being the spoiler whore I am, will totally read online what happens and not get to watch the episode until 2 weeks later, but it’s better than being a season or 2 behind. Thursday evening Tom and I headed to the Husky Bowling club (it’s another social club and it has lawn bowling) for the weekly meat raffle. Basically you go in, buy raffle tickets and then they raffle off things. There are two raffles, one to go towards the local soccer club and one to raise money for the bowling club. I bought $5 worth of tickets for the soccer club and lo and behold, my number got called! When your number gets called, you can go up and pick out what you want out of what’s left. When my number got called, what was left was either a bottle of port wine or a crate of fruits and veggies, so I took the fruits and veggies. It had half a pineapple, carrots, apples, oranges, a banana, onions, potatoes, cabbage, a pear and a green pepper. Tom won 2 trays of meat and of course, he picked 2 T-bone trays. There were other selections as well, some had roasts, some had lamb chops, but Tom is a fan pf the T-Bones, so that’s what we got. One our way out of the club, there they were, on the soccer pitch, 5 KANGAROOS! Of course, I hadn’t brought my camera with me! But yup, sure enough there were 5 of them. There were 2 really big ones, definitely much taller than me when standing on 2 feet. But then again, what’s not taller than me? I even saw them hopping around! Yay, so I caught them, tagged ‘em and will be tracing them to figure out their feeding and migration patterns. No just kidding, but now I know where to look, I may have to visit that area again (which is not far from where Tom lives) at night, with my camera, to take pictures and have people look at me like the crazy American that I am. So…pretty much I am content for the night, got free food and saw kangaroo’s. My life is pretty much complete.
Till next time, C.
