Blogging IRL

11 Jul

Todays blog… Inspired by IRL events from Yesterday.

This isn’t really going to much of a blog just a “Here is what happened” Type of dealo so live with it… please. =)

Basically Claire, Caroline and Myself ended up in Westbury on a Dog hunt, we were looking for her Dog Blanche, a Border Collie that went missing earlier in the week. Caroline had a hunch that she may have been taken by the Westbury Pound even though where she lives isn’t in the Pound’s operational area but after hearing a few stories she was curious and wanted a bit of back up if she was going snooping around at night. Of course she had to have a guy with her (Me) but because I’m useless we also took Claire (Taekwondo Black Belt).

The Westbury Pound isn’t supposed to be public access so with information from a few locals we checked out a few places and eventually came across an area that was right near a Riffle range, we were cautious but pulled over and went for a wonder up the road but turned around after Claire walked to close to a goat and scared the shit out of herself.

Walking back for a fair distance in the other direction to the Riffle range where the other road entrance was became a good work out as we turned back for the car half way realizing we had gone the wrong way. It was a cold night but for some reason we were all walking fast so it didn’t really bother us, until we got back in the car and we started freezing. (Well I did anyway)

After that and checking out a few other places we came across some Boarding Kennels with a phone number on their sign (Which Caroline will call today) but we couldn’t go snooping around as there was a house right next to it which sucked! I wanted to go snooping.

So we gave up for the night and went to an all night bakery (Why a small town as an all night bakery makes no sense to me but eh. Let me just tell you this. Their food SUCKED! I had a peppermint slice that didn’t taste like peppermint, Claire’s fudge slice tasted like Caramel.

On our way back to Carrick where my car was left on the side of the road, Caroline was pulled over for a random Breath test by local police and when asked if she had had anything to drink she replied with “no” and the copper breath tested her and as soon as she finished on the breath tester she finished her sentence with “but I did have a jelly slice and it was disgusting!” which got a laugh out of the copper and the rest of us just for it’s stupidity.

So with a few random remarks here and there, Claire the black belt being scared of a goat and a long ass walk at night it turned out to be a good little end of the week and probably a waste of a blog because this wont make any sense to anyone but those that were there.

Sorry.

    Actually im glad you posted this, i was interested in what had happened, did you try behind the council chambers, because when out sheep got out and were sent to the westbury pound they were sent there. I told caroline this last week when she asked but i don’t know if they have somewhere different for smaller animals etc.

    Anyway still sounded like a fun adventure, like kyle and roo and i’s trek to the bottom of tassie (well drive, we only walked for about an hour) :)

      We tried around the Council Chambers, couldn’t find anything. We found a few places that were curious but nothing final.

      How ever I hear that Blanche came back the other day which is good news :)
