My heart is breaking for lost dreams.

Ben Cousins has been suspended indefinitely for breaking West Coast club rules.  *sob*

I feel like I want to slap him up side the head and scream at him.

Right - I'm done now.

Last night I went to the CD launch of a local Christian band.  It was really good and got to catch up with all my friends from the Bible Seminar I did last year.  I also dragged along a friend that I found out in Catholic too and he loved it as well.  Everyone was asking if he was my husband though, which was kind of funny because most of them met Hubby when he came to one of the meetings with me last year.

Anyhow, I must away, I'm already late for work, but I have to hang up the washing before I go.

My grandfather is in surgery as I post this.  If the doctors can't fix the blockage he might lose his legs.

If any of you are so inclined to, can I beg your prayers for him?

Thank you.

Despite being on holiday's this week, Hubby and I had to get up early to take the new car into the dealership, on account of the gear box slipping out of fifth gear - kind of annoying on long trips because it means we have to use fourth gear and the engine don't like it.

I had to drive in behind him in my car - which I lent to my father-in-law yesterday and he returned it with a full tank and took it through a car wash *is sheepish* - and the trip there was pretty uneventful - traffic was good.  After we dropped the car off, we went into the city to buy Lego Star Wars II for the PS2 (I bought the first one for Hubby for Xmas and we finished it already) and then started the trip back home.  

Just outside of the city a black 4WD started to tail gate us and flashed her lights at us, waving us out of the way.  Hubby hates it when people do that so he pulls the finger on her and she dismisses him with a wave of her hand, like she thinks she's some kind of royalty or something.  Once Hubby pulls out of the lane we were in, she speeds up past us and gives us the courtesy wave on the way past.  Hubby was fuming so I tried to calm him down a bit, but only made it worse so I stopped talking.

I hardly said another word until we saw red and blue flashing lights atop a van off in the distance, next to a cop car.  My first thought was there had been a pretty bad accident or something, but once we got closer we noticed there were no markings on the van.  A little way up from where the two cars were parked there was some kind of machine with a big claw on the end of a mechanical arm and Hubby said, with surprise "BOMB SQUAD".  The machine was examining some kind of white paper package.  That's all we saw though because stupidly the police hadn't blocked off the lane of traffic (great public safety by our city's finest huh?)  Hubby and I looked at each other in disbelief.  It's probably the first time I've seen anything like that here in sleepy little Perth, Western Australia.

We had only just recovered from the thrill of seeing the bomb robot when we turned onto Marmion Avenue, right behind another 4WD, this one towing a trailer....THAT WAS ON FIRE!!!!  Thankfully, the driver noticed soon after we did and pulled over, with us right behind him.  I grabbed my bottle of water and sprinted out of the car and tried to pour some on the flames, but by this stage the stuff in the trailer was long past the point of helping.  The driver and his passenger unhooked the trailer from the 4WD and a couple of guys dashed up both with fire extinguishers.  Even when both their extinguishers and both mine and the driver's bottles of water were emptied on the raging inferno in the trailer - the fire continued to burn.

Once the flames had consumed everything flammable in the trailer they started to die down and we all left the driver and his passenger staring at the smoldering remains.  I noticed the driver was a smoker though (he got out of the car with a just lit ciggie in his mouth), so he probably has no one to blame but himself.  I have a suspicion that he might have chucked his previous smoke out the window (being an ex-smoker I am guilty of doing this more than a few times in my life) and it would have flown straight into the trailer if they were moving at the time.  It was a very hot day today, so that probably didn't help either.

Hubby and I pull off and are about 100 metres up the road when we both crack up laughing in complete and total disbelief.  It was only 10am - most of the city hasn't even woken up yet and we are feeling like we've had enough excitement for one day, thank you very much.  

The dealership just rang.  We were hoping to have Hubby's car back today, but it looks like it might be a bigger job than they originally thought, so we'll have to wait until tomorrow to pick it up *sigh*  At least it's all covered by the warranty.

I think I need to go take a nap.  I should have a shower first though, my hair smells like smoke.
