Ironbark (2008)
“Mind you, that’s not a real surprise. Back home I’d crawl out of my pit around midday. Except on school days, of course. Then I’d get up at about eleven. In my defence, I wouldn’t get to sleep until at least three in the morning. Too much to do at night – watch DVDs, surf the net. Here, those options are not even on the menu, and it’s lights out at nine-thirty while wallaby guards patrol the perimeter fence. Maybe I should start a one-man riot or dig a tunnel. I’m not having any trouble sleepin...g, though. No problem with that.
Maybe there’s something in that old saying about fresh air being good for you. I just wouldn’t want to risk it if I had a choice.
So, I’m up and at ’em by eight at the latest. Granddad’s up before me, of course. I get the impression the old fossil is tooling around at four in the morning, milking wallabies or something. God knows why. It’s not like he has to sink fence posts, castrate cattle or plough the odd paddock.
Anyway, I’m feeling kinda good.MoreLess
