A new situation-ship…
It was all because of the weather… and her being a human.
Hot. Dusty. Bloody flies everywhere from the second the sun crested the horizon till the second it dropped back down the other direction.
God I love the open road, the wide open spaces. The sheer being-out-there-ness. Bloody awesome, bloody love it. It’s what I was built for.
Her.
She wanted somewhere to sit when it was too hot to fly the drones. She wanted to use her time productively. She didn’t want to just sit and wait for the sun to move across the sky a bit. Geez….
Apparently Lil Vic didn’t quite cut the mustard. It wasn’t that he wasn’t cute and all, it was more that she’d ripped his guts out and didn’t have the time to figure out how to put him back together again. She’d rather jump in me and hit the road again, taking those bloody drones with us.
Don’t get me started on those things…. taking off from my bonnet, sometimes skidding a bit when they land back on me.
She said Lil Vic wouldn’t be able to go off-road, so we’d be stuck to the bitumen, and that’s no fun. I had to agree with her thinking on that one.
Why she couldn’t just ignore the flies like I do, I don’t know. Humans. Weird creatures. I can’t really complain though aye. If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t exist. We wouldn’t be. If it wasn’t for her I’d probably still be being driven in a city all the time. Home to the casino. Casino to home. Back to the bloody casino. Geez.
Thank crikey she’s the one who bought me. She’s not bad I reckon. Gets my motor and other bits looked at when their due, makes sure I get the good tyres.
So I put up with her outside the box ideas, her constant thinking, wanting to see what we can do better and easier. She’s always looking to make our experiences on the open road that much more comfortable.
So, what did she do this time? She bought another little caravan, a camper, if you will. Basically you undo a couple of clips, wind a handle about 60 times, and there it is.
Lily loves it of course. Has done all her inspections, and keeps making sure it’s a comfy space.
Meet Jilly. She’s a swish little Goldstream Crown camper. We have an on-again off-again kind of thing going on. We get hitched, we get unhitched.
I guess we have a ‘casual, undefined, commitment-free relationship’, commonly known as a situation-ship.
It’s early days yet, and we’ve only had one trip away so far. What an experience that was 🫢🫣
I’ll save that little story for next time 😉
