Last Will and Testament

We are up and after driving 400kms almost all the way in the rain we arrive in Augusta, on the South West tip of Australia, where we go to our first choice of camp site.  We drive around it but it looks more like an Eco hippie commune, we decide we would prefer something a little more Conservative so end up down on the river bank surrounded by ducks and seagulls.  I think it was the toilet doors being shower curtains that made our minds up, which they describe in their advertising as " Our unique atrium-styled ablutions"...........
Now someone is not a happy bunnie, yesterday after being drenched by a wave, her camera also took part in the unscheduled shower, now whilst bunnie appears to have got over it her camera has had a short circuit and is refusing to work.  To rub salt into the wound we go for a river side walk this afternoon and she sees her favourite birds, the blue fairy wrens but alas only one of us has the means to record this moment..........  We call into the Visitors Centre and ask about Camera repairs or being able to buy a new camera, we wait for the lady to stop thinking, laughing, phoning her friends to tell them about our stupid request and then wipe away the tears in her eyes before she says, probably Perth or maybe Busselton or Bunbury, 150kms away.
We then try the shops but they are closed so tonight it's a 'whatever is left over omelette' but at least we have TV and the sun has started to break through the cloud, which hopefully will lift the temperature a bit, on the way here around midday it was 12.5 degrees and this is their summer..........
And now dear reader I come to the really sad bit and cause for the title of this post, the other day whilst out walking in front forging the way through the bush I constantly broke through cobwebs and the like, so much so that for hours afterwards I was brushing webs, spiders, insects, bugs and even caterpillars from my hat, face, neck, shoulder and down my shirt, well it appears one of them or something has bitten me or laid it's eggs in me.  Now I am sure you are aware of how non fazed I am about anything trivial to do with my health so before I get flown out of here by medivac and seeing the pharmacist tomorrow I would like to say thank you to you all, it was fun and my will is in the safe at home.  
Adios, Spider-Man.
