Camping ideas in Stuff

Is anyone reserecting their Open Diary? I know it’ll be a subscription-only service, so I’d be limited to reading those people who are also paying for the service. I also don’t trust the DiaryMaster after the way he just let things go all those years ago, and now I feel like he’s run out of cash so is bringing the site back. It’s interesting that all of our old diaries are apparently still there though. Hmmm. I do miss OD, but I’m skepital that the same thing will happen down the track. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
I’ll probably stick to here me thinks.

I’ve been looking into camping places and man, I can’t believe how regulated it seems to have become. I suppose I did grow up on a 2500 acre farm, so it was easy to just take the quad down to the creek and set up pretty much anywhere. So cue my surprise when I see I have to PAY for an allocated site and share the immediate area with other campers. Umm, that’s not really my idea of camping. I want to be isolated in the middle of nowhere,with my book and the sound of the birds! Can’t I just do that? I suppose everywhere is private property these days and I’ll just have to admit defeat that camping isn’t what it was when I was a kid 😒
Having said that, I have been reading a few blogs and there does seem to be some great camping areas around. Some have toilet facilities, others don’t, some powered, some not. I’d prefer somewhere non-powered but would also prefer not to have to shit in a bucket, you know?
I wish I had some more SEQ readers who could give me some ideas.
I’m absolutely flabbergasted at the prices some people want for glamping! One place wants $1300 a night. Why the fuck would someone not choose a penthouse over glamping when they wanna rip you off that much?
I guess glamping is still relatively new. The cheapest one I saw in my area was still $350 a night. Could be a cute date-idea I suppose.

I got another email. The rest of my stuff is arriving tomorrow apparently. Probably whilst I’ll be at work. At least I have the main stuff.
