Heads Or Tails

I love Autumn. My birthday is in Autumn, and it's always that perfect mixture of hot and cold weather. I have this one particular Autumn memory...

One day, Roz and i were leaving Noodles place after some trashy movies no doubt. We left the house crunching through the giant piles of leaves out the front. As we drove down the Avenue, we saw that someone put out junk for hard rubbish collection. There it was, right at the front... a pink Barbie caravan. Just like the one that was buried somewhere in my roof, and the one that Roz's mum had thrown away. We had to have it.

We threw a u-turn and cautiously pulled up infront of the house. Only to see them standing in a driveway. So, we peeled away from the curb and drove around the block. On the next lap, we pulled up again... Roz crept out of the passenger seat - and then a bus came round the corner and tried to pull into the bus stop we were parked in! I yelped and Roz dove back into the car. I drove off just in time to avoid being crushed by an evil bus that had shown no intention of stopping! One last try... we pulled up again, Roz scrambled out and grabbed the caravan, then leapt back into the car.

Score! One very old and dusty Barbie caravan. Definately worth such an adventure to get it.

  4. It is a bit embarrassing rescuing treasures from someones garbage especially when they are looking, but they didn't want it!
