Dirty Truth

After counting down the sleeps to our flight home we had 3 weeks in Perth to reflect upon what we had just experienced. After all the months living aboard it felt very strange to have access to limitless stand up showers. Prior to getting back to the Kardinya Hilton (Mum's) we calculated our last one was in Esperance! Oddly, we didn't enjoy them nearly as much as we'd dreamed.

In reality, our life afloat includes plenty of time on shore but actually reinserting oneself into familiar places has a weird aspect to it and we found our perspective shifted. We for the first time, actually noticed the fad for 'Smoothies' at one of our favorite coffee shops. You know, those hideous concoctions of puréed stuff that will include unlikely candidates such as wheat grass and kale? The last time I looked, humans had a good set of teeth by the age of 2 and with fluoridated water, fluoride toothpaste and generally better dental care, we can keep our own teeth until well into old age, so why not EAT your food? What is with this 'slops/mush' fad? Have we become so lazy as not to chew any more?

Time to return to the ocean....much too cranky!
