Smashed IPad and spiders in the paper.

I am sitting here posting on a smashed and bent IPad, my god they are tough.

Hubby ran over it, well actually my whole handbag as we were leaving for a whipcracking trip away yesterday.
I asked him to put it inthe car while I put one of my little dogs in to her dog yard.


He forgot, mind on other horrendous things and stepped over it then backed the Landcruiser over the top of it.
I sat in stunned silence for the first 10 mins of our trip with the kids rubbing my arm.

I snapped out of it and realized that everything was replaceable in the bag and we had just had our 13 year old Labrador put to sleep and everyone was feeling like crap.

She is not replaceable.

Today I'm off to buy a new one and when I get home tomorrow I'll just sync it straight away. Apple make it so easy.

Insurance will cover the cost of the damaged stuff in the bag. I was surprised the iPhone was Ok. It is in an ivyskin wrangler case and only had the protective glass smashed on the front. I can highly recommend that one.

So I now need to replace Ipad, Roberto cavalli sunnies, Prada progressive lens prescription glasses, a camera, a spencer and Rutherford handbag, an ivyskin glass screen a few hair Clips, luckily the Chanel perfume is ok and funny other things survived the wheel trying to get over it and pushing it along the driveway.

Don't feel sorry for me. I have the benefit of being good at power shopping, and my god it could have been irreplaceable stuff like the kid's whips or god forbid one of my pets.
The children were always safe, one was with me and one was in the car. Plus they are big and loud enough to be seen and heard!



In other exciting news my spiders photos have made it into The Land a national newspaper, on page 4 too! They will also appear with a story in a regional paper.
Have a read (I've fixed the link now!)

Spiders, spiders everywhere!

We went driving around yesterday afternoon with the camera.

I'm a bit tired of taking photos of brown flood water!

This is what we found.

Amazing!

Spiders' webs.

They are hanging off the fences all along about a kilometre of road.

They're probably all over the place, but I only have a range of about a kilometre up the road.

While we were standing there they strung all over us and the car.

It was pretty awe inspiring.

They were thick on top of the fence posts.

And they billowed in the wind a bit.

Millions of tiny little spiders.

Probably billions.

When we drove along the road our tyres made tracks in the webs that stretched across.

and here's my favourite.

A guidepost on the road.

They blanketed the grass.

it was a bit sticky too.

And really obvious on the old train line.

Later in the afternoon our neighbours had to have an injured child airlifted out.

Now that was a sight to see.

A chopper landing in their back paddock.

Nature does some pretty amazing stuff to ensure survival.
