Domestic Hero

[mrsbrown]

Whenever I (or somebody else- mostly J) does some of that virtuous houseworky domesticity stuff. I shout, "I am/you are a Domestic Hero." Today I got to shout it twice.

This morning I panicked about the expected heat of the day (37deg C) and T's lack of appropriate clothing. I made T a pair of shorts in 30min, before 8am!!!! I AM A DOMESTIC HERO!

This evening I made dinner before 7pm... again, I am a domestic hero!

Have I mentioned it's hot? The Age says it's currently 36deg C. I thought so.

While you're there, marvel at the stupid British tourist who left his bogged car with 80 litres of water in it, and died of dehydration in the desert after walking 60km - What a moron!

You can come here and be a domestic hero here too if you like!!

Weird about the tourist though, who in their right minds would leave their car?? Poor bugger. I suppose he hadn't really realised what a *big and dry* place he was in.

Those sorts of things always make me feel sad. People should have better deaths than avoidable deaths from stupidity. It seems so undignified.

I couldn't imagine myself leaving the car if I was out there. But I could if I was in a bushfire, and I know that's a seriously dumb thing to do. I could also imagine myself leaving the house and trying to make a run for it. Also stupid. But in the desert in a car? I wonder if the water was readily accessible or was in the radiator and full of that green coolant....?

The hire company should probably have advice cards. After all, their customers are almost be definition going to be inexperienced travellers. And therefore inclined to panic. Poor bugger.
