Thread: Mr Marsh & Digger...

15/1 05:00pm 44.3 at Renmark Airport..

it did feel warm... especially after spending the morning at a suicide in a shed near our area doing the investigation, sorting the body and then cleaning up so rels didnt have to etc etc...

the old "vacola" thermometer on a wooden post in centre of shed read 62 degs!

and it felt like it!!

and then I took a hose inside to wash the floor out and the humidity there moved the feeling up to "steam swimming pool"!!


But, at 3pm I was driving back into my village and the new you beaut clock gave a reading of 47degrees!! , I though "bollocks" so hit the external temp button on the work car which flashed 48 and settled back at 47...

then off to a fire to chase the CFS at maggea!! (lots of callouts yesterday and last night re lightening hits starting fires in our area... I finished work at 5 yesterday, then callout at 5.30 and I jumped off the truck at midnight!)

Luckily this one was a false alarm (good to get a break go our way!)

tomorrow will be interesting..






PS Mick could stay with us but Im afraid every time I got ready for work he'd bolt out the door!!

Crap Digger.

I can imagine what the scene would have been like. Quite vividly.


Hoping tomorrow goes ok, but the real test might be Friday, with the wind bringing in the change.

Geez Digger, I hope the rest of your week improves.

its part of the job you get resigned to,

like all jobs there is good and bad....

But thanks guys!

Bloody hell Digger, pulling over landys 1 day, cleaning up bodies the next, life's not dull in your part of the world

Seriously sorry to hear of your day, hope the week improves,

We left Pt Augusta about midday was 43 cooled down as we went north only 41 in Coober Pedy, and 38 in marla when we arrived.

Might go home to Darwin for a cool change.

Cheers Ean

It might be part of the job that you have to accept Digger, but it always knocked me round for a while. I'll never forget the screams of a particular mother after a five day search that ended with a bad result.
Look after yourself mate.

Mate thanks to both you and your boss for stopping and saying Gday,
it was great to meet you.. Melrose weather should be better at easter if you are free (or even if you are cheap!! )

Hope you have a quiet and uneventful trip home!

"may the road be empty and smooth,
may the driving be like in a groove,
may the wind be at your back
and the record for low price fuel be cracked

I hope the smoothest run for your disco
and more importantly for you and your beau
May the sights be at their best
and may you arrive, relaxed, at your nest...


Cheers
