12am, it's me again and don't you know...

20 points to anybody that can tell me the name of the artist, and the song name that I stole the heading from. A clue; I changed the time; in the real song, the time is 3am........

Well, I'm sitting here writing in my blog, while I'm waiting for a phone call from Beloved. Perth is 2hrs behind me here, so it's still quite early there. Scorpa-Boy is the Number 5 Junior MotoTrials rider in Australia! I am thrilled about that, but less than thrilled that Beloved called me from the hospital to tell me this!! My very dedicated boy had just one more round to ride, consisting of 8 sections I think, when on his way back to section 1, he ran into a rock in the grass, and sailed over the handlebars!! After he was dusted off, assessed for injuries, and his bike re-assembled, he decided to keep on going; this was the Australian Championships, and he wanted to finish in the top 5! He lost 1 point over the rest of the round, giving him a total of 10 points lost over 2 days of riding around 50 sections each day! He has an enormous heart, my boy! After he was finished, he zipped off the lower leg of his pants to have a look at his leg; it hurt a bit. Surprise, surprise, there was a filthy great gash that required stitches. Hence the phone call from hospital. He has a host of abrasions, complete with gravelly insertions, and a potential rainbow of bruises, but doesn't seem to have concussed himself; thank heavens for helmets. I'm yet to know whether he's been kept in for a good night's rest and rehab, or caravanning with the others. There was supposed to be a beaut presentation dinner, too........ I told Beloved to see who's flying home to Sydney tomorrow; I think that Jack will be less uncomfortable on a quick plane flight followed by a 3hr drive home, rather than a 3 to 4 day drive home with hs Dad and Peter, especially since the home trip was supposed to be camping on the side of the road in swags........So here I sit.........Work will be very unimpressed if I tell them I can't work tomorrow evening or the next couple days if I have to bring him home; I don't care though. I spoke to Jack very quickly; he seems ok, but a little shaken up, and I think he would like to have his Mummy with him (I know that's where his Mummy would like to be). He brightened up somewhat when I asked him if he would be ok to attend the 'Homebake' Concert in December.......He didn't know that I'd purchased the tickets last mnth....

What else happened this weekend?...
Rhys and I celebrated at a surprise 50th Birthday for a friend at Scone, then went to Newcastle in the evening to help babysit my very lovely nieces and nephew; my brother and his wife were attending the same party, but stayed for the evening nosh as well.
Gorgeous Girl and BestiePat trained it to Sydney for the "Taste of Chaos" gig. MommieDearestMe picked them up from Broadmeadow station at 4.30am, and took them to my Bro's at Elermore Vale to sleep, cos there were no beds at mum's and 3 spare at his place! After they arose at midday, with a bit of encouragement from MommieDearestMe, it was back to my mum's, then a visit to HMV at Garden City, lunch at Hungry Jack's (plurgh..), shopping at Bunnings, and window shopping at Everyday Living, and JB Hi Fi. After a good drive home up the valley ( I think the car could find it's own way), we dropped off BestiePat and were home just after 7pm. Rhys decended upon the computer, and Elly and I watched Idol over a bowl of tomato soup and toast (yum). Interesting tonight; I just love Bobby Flynn, but I doubt he will make "The Idol". I was distracted and on the phone, but I said to Elly that I think that Deane may just have stolen the title tonight. Then out came Damien, and blew me away! I love music!!! I think it's time we said goodbye to Ricky Muscat, and I think Ricky knows it too.
After I managed to throw Elly off the 'puter at 10.30 (she was on 'myspace' talking to BestiePat; can you believe it? They have been exclusively in each others company since Friday night!), I started to read through everybody's postings from over the weekend. I wonder; am I the only one that goes back and will re-read past postings and look for new comments, and even add one? I read Kathleen's posting from Friday, and I couldn't help but leave this comment about we Marys;

"We are the Mary Musketeers; All for One and One for All!! "
(with apologies to Alexander Dumar)

It sounds like us, doesn't it!

Well that'll do for now; I finally borrowed "The Mists of Avalon" from the library on Thursday, and so far, I haven't had time to turn over the cover. Just to give you an indication of how slowly I type , I started this at 12.06 am, and it's now 12.59!!

Love to all, Goodnight xoxox ;)

PS: He still hasn't called!!!
