You thought I was joking, didn't you? Here's an email she sent this morning:

Please send this to everyone on your e-mail list.
If a man comes to your front door and says he is conducting a survey and asks you to show him your bum, do not show him your bum. This is a scam; he only wants to see your bum.
I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap.

Just one more sign that life at the Lake has been fairly unremarkable of late. Everyone just 'being themselves', busy with work, putting things away on these hot and humid summer days for the lean days we all know are ahead.
I went to Bendigo for a week and visited a cousin at Lake Weeroona. She showed me around the new sporting facilities, and told me about the plans to extend the historic tramway all the way down to the lake and beyond. Bendigo had a real 'go ahead' feel to it! Young people everywhere, trendy cafes and restaurants among the $2 shops; the historic precinct all very historic (I didn't dare ask how many museums a provincial city actually needs).
We don't do things that way at Lake Bolac: here we like things to have a certain patina of use and familiarity. Who's to say who's right?
