Sorry Business

And on the last day of January, I slide back in to my blog quietly but with so much to write about.

Due to Sorry Business I have had an extended break. In the next few posts I will explain a little about Sorry Business, my plans for 2015, my new foray in feminism, some exciting twitter fiction events coming up and a wrap up of how Indigenous affairs is looking lately.

And I promised I would storify the following yarn! 

@calsaff No interruption, Twitter never closes. :)) Thankyou, my TL looks like I never left but I've had hours, nearly whole days away! :)

@calsaff Roadtrip last week. We lost phone connectivity between towns half-way home. Despite phones, they're largely word of mouth at home.

@calsaff 10km shy of where we were heading, the roos were so thick some were standing on the road. Chatting about the recent rain no doubt.

@calsaff We'd been driving for 7 hrs, and me with another 3 hrs on top of that so we weren't taking chances, stopping to let them hop away.

@calsaff Stop, hop, start, it was slow going. We weren't in any hurry. Next we see some bright lights heading our way, full-beaming us all.

@calsaff They u-turned around us. Was the police, blue & white flashing. They parked behind us & approached, torches held high. Cautiously.

@calsaff Welcome diversion from miles of roos. We rolled the windows down. They peered in at us. We stared back. Why are you going so slow?

@calsaff There are kangaroos are all over the road, we don't have a roo bar. The roos looked at each other. The police looked at each other.

@calsaff Where are you going? We were close enough to point at the towns lights. Why? Funeral. They still didn't seem convinced. Torches on.

@calsaff Now, by this stage I was thinking 'actually, you blokes are the strange ones. It's 10.30 at night and what are YOU doing out HERE?'
— Siv Parker (@SivParker) January 11, 2015

@calsaff We hadn't passed any traffic for hours and nothing had barrelled past us...maybe an approaching car was a reason for excitement?
— Siv Parker (@SivParker) January 11, 2015

@calsaff Now we were all screwing our eyes up quizzically at each other. The kangaroos sensed something was up and quietly hopped away.

@calsaff And I thought if this was a movie and these blokes are mascarading as cops, I can't call for help because I can't get a signal. End
