It's that time of the year, it's pathetically hot here, and I make no apology for this nonsense...haha That's me atop Ahabs back :)

Ch'erie and her Camel Ahab By Ch'erie :) Ch'erie and her Camel Ahab decided one day to nab opportunity to travel the Red dirt and gravel So she Saddled up and hit the trail... Many travellers have gone on before the evidence quite clearly heard in the Caw of the Crows as they fly through the blistering sky and sun-bleached bones point the way.. Armed to the teeth with food and water Ahab filled his hump as he oughta with atire to suit heat, flies & snakes to boot they set of For the West that night! Ahab sauntered on real light whilst the temperatures were alright but come the morning sun Ch'erie thought she'd done the silliest thing of her life... The blistering blinding sun of the Simpson was NO fun from the barometer it was clear deadly hot twas out there not a tree, spinafex....or indigenous person! Ch'erie's brain started to adle atop Ahabs back in burning saddle though wearied and weak she let out and almighty shriek and dismounted shouting....WATER!! Alas it was more dry Red dirt make matters worse she'd soiled her shirt so for the rest of the way that Red grit would stay stuck to her like you know what to a blanket... Well my Tale could go on like a song as the Nullabor is as Booooring as is Long but sufficeth to say would take forever and a day so I'll come to the point in next verses... Ch'erie thought she was quite dead poor Ahab was begining to dread for his hump was diminished he thought he was finished have you ever seen a Camel whine?? Still onward they sauntered in relentless pursuit both in the head had become quite unglued when out of the Red Earth popped the City of Perth Wanna guess the first place they headed??

Thank you for sharing this delightful tale, Ch'erie. I must say that I've never been on a camel. I'm not even that good on a horse, to be honest. Love and best wishes,

Regis

This was alot of fun, made me think of "Gunga Din" and my favorite ever, Cary Grant, loved the humor in it-this was alot of fun.

Delightful tale, quite the adventurer. Only been on camel rides at the local zoos, never in a desert. Glad you made it to Perth and quenched your thirst...

Be always safe,
Karen

Chezza,

Sending you cooling refreshment, gentle rain, anything to cool the oven that you're in - my goodness. And I thought Texas in summer was hot...whew. Makes me glad to be here (except during storm). Stay safe, plenty of liquids, stay inside if you can - hope you have A/C - an excellent "tail".

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Thank you Ch'erie for rubbing it in here, as I look out my front door and see two 8ft, mounds of snow one on each side and more overnight and temp still below zero. Of course you did have me warm there for a moment as I was reading and I thank you for that. Thank you for sharing.

Newfie Hugs, Rose
