I would like to be able to say that I slept well last night. Unfortunately that is not the case, and I cannot even blame watching the world cup on this. Actually I cannot think of anything to blame – I just did not sleep well. I woke up in the middle of the night and had a big problem getting back to sleep. I have no idea why. So, I am a bit tired today – I eventually woke up at 7am. I only have one appointment on – a visit to some garbage trucks.

This was one of the things that I did dream about last night. Or was it a nightmare? In the dream I drove the garbage truck on a test drive, and then half way through I was reminded by someone that I dont have a license for the things, and therefore should not be driving. Strangely (as if dreams about garbage trucks were not strange enough), I forgot how to drive the truck at that stage, and had to find someone to drive it back. OOps. After all, how can you fotget how to drive an automatic vehicle?

The SMH has a story about how an Australian pilot had to ditch a plane in the Pacific and survived. Quite an amazing story. And they also tell the story about a two brothers (10 and 6) who borrowed their grandmothers car to visit their grandfather 120 KM away, and were only picked up when they were noticed by other drivers on the freeway, 80km into their 120km journey!
