Rachel took a day off being a mum and visited me. Its the first time we'd hung out together, just the two of us in two years. We were *very* excited, throwing words at each other at the fastest speed possible, sharing ideas, tales and joys.

We sat on gravel hill discussing Bob and Gino. It was a zen moment of illumination, and magic struck as it always does when its just us two. We spoke about my ideas for shirts and a business, and smoked spliffs under the vintage sun of Melbourne.

Making our way back to her house while eating lollypops and walking in the park was also fun. Louis set up a surprise treasure hunt for us and gave Rachel her late birthday present which was a beautifully made loveberry lamp. He then invited us to take part in an exercise of listing something we CAN do within two weeks and wrapping what we write in special paper with special string. Inside the wrapper there is also candy which we will get in two weeks once we have done the CAN.

Jesse came over the next morning, we rode Steve's go-karts out to the nearby field and played impromptu rubbish cricket and baseball. Jesse picked a fight with the swingset and I think the swingset won, I joined in and also ended up on my ass. Ripley slept. She's a cutie, every week I see her she has more personality and more recognition of people around her. I love feeling more comfortable around her every time we meet.

Finally getting home was hilarious, we missed the last two late buses and on the second trip to the bus stop the the tiny red car stalled. We pushed it and tried our best but nothing would start it. But what happened next was impressive.

Louis started humping the car from the inside, while Jesse fondled the dashboard 'Do you like that bay, come on, don't freeze up on me now' he said, Louis continued 'Come on! You can do it baby! No don't wake up your mother!' so on, until they were literally fucking the car from the inside. I jumped up and down in the back seat with excitement not expecting anything to really happen, but the boys continued, 'come on! you..can.. get over this! feel that shit! feel it! unggh!' and suddenly.. VROOOOOOM!, the car which had refused to start for an hour shook into power! It was incredible! I laughed so hard. You really had to be there. But the boys were proud.

'Don't touch me' said Jesse as he looked out the window. 'I need a cigarrette' mentioned Louis. I sat in the back in glee. All the car needed was a little hard loving, she acted coy, but they boys refused to stop, until she was over the edge and satisfied. There's a moral in there people!
