😂Not just yet…Jack and Jill are still trying to get home from the fairy tale land, via SSS and CR. Jill has to return for the Relay team Track regionals & Jack’s still wondering about a second date…whether it’s wise, not to mention possible.
The story must be served, first!🐧

I’ll follow in the path of Nancy Griffin. It’s a kinda road well travelled.
Behind The Wheel.
We’re all on the long road home,
Starting from the moment we’re born
Till we return home one cold grey dawn,
When the ol’ dunger looks tired and road worn,*
Then its time to park it up, back up on the front lawn,
Back on the long green green crabgrass of home.
When heading off on the long road home
Take this long-term roadrunners travel tip;
Don’t spin your wheels, don’t let the V8 rip,
Take your time, lift your foot, relax your grip,
Every sign that flashes by says ‘it’s a one-way trip,’
This long and grinding downhill road home.
Why the Hell rush on the long road home?
Why not make your life a trip not to forget?
Take the scenic route, not the road to regret,
Take every turn-off and rest stop you can get,
I’ll take my time, we’ll all get there- just not yet,
Take no shortcuts on the long last road home.
*Dunger- ask Doug, he knows!

Well, Doug didn’t know this obscure bit of Kiwi slang until he looked it up. 😉 Here it would be ‘old bomb’ or, less delicately, ‘shit bucket’. Once it became entirely unroadworthy it would be called a ‘paddock basher’.
Back to the matter in hand, wise words indeed – ‘Take the scenic route, not the road to regret’.

Whoopsy, I thought it was a trans Tasman saying- ah well, live and learn.
Sorry, taken me a while to get the old A into G , Min Min-wise!

Excellent advice, creatively expressed. ‘Take no shortcuts on the long last road home.’
And now I’m wondering how I can drop ‘dunger’ into a conversation with my Scottish pals!

Sorry for the late thanks- We have our internet on the blink and have been off line for a bit. The internet providers are providing dunger services for Rolls Royce prices.
