In which Stretch tells a story


Here is a little story which was told by Stretch at the lunch table yesterday (being Saturday). Stretch is the one on the left and its not the greatest picture but it is the only one I have

"On Friday night Stretch was in Melbourne helping out with a play which did not finish its final performance until 12:30am on Saturday morning. Stretch then went home for a few hours sleep before getting up at 4:30am to catch a plane to Hobart. His alarm did not go off but was lucky that his Dad had also set one so they made it to the airport in time. Stretch then flew into Hobart and was collected at the airport by Frenchy and Skreech in Skreech's car. They drove the 20 mins from the airport into Hobart where Skreech's car decided to break down. Stretch then walked from town back to Jane where he had breakfast and was about to drive to uni for his exam at 9am when he realised that his car keys were in town in Skreech's car (he realised this at 8:30am). He managed to get a lift with Hannah to uni, sat his exam and was then back at Jane for lunch before heading back to uni for a second exam."

When I saw him at lunch he seemed rather calm and collected (he usually is) and in his place I would have been stressing and having panic attacks. But I would not have left it until the morning of my exam to fly into Hobart.

I didn't even see this post until just now- I suddenly realised that you said there were three posts in the last few days (with only one comment...) and I didn't remember reading a 3rd one.

Here it is- I just somehow completely missed it when you posted it.

I would be sooooo freaked out flying into Hobart the morning of my exam- I'm far to uptight on the morning of an exam (let alone two exams on the same day) to be able to deal with that.
