So my parents went on a camping trip, a not so rugged one, it had decent showers and toilet paper and an entertainment team, but there was a tent involved, as well as a caravan (mobile home? I’m not sure what you lot call it), so it qualifies.

And them going away on a camping trip meant that they had to take my little brothers and leave me home alone. Which meant all sorts of things for me, doing the dishes(machine, THANK GOD), laundry (dear god, never knew that I had so much laundry, I pity my step dad now), vacuuming, cooking (with help from pioneerwoman) and taking care of the cat. Also known as the big hairy thing on legs that drools.

He’s a sweetie, but also senile and old and in general behaves like he needs food 24/7 even though he sleeps most of the time. It’s odd, he’s odd, but we all love him and cope with his needs. This is him trying to assault my legs in order to climb up to my lap, but getting fascinated by the lens instead. There’s also cat food on his nose. He’s not so big on the whole cleaning thing.

Luckily I didn’t have to spend the two weeks that my parents would be gone all by myself. Because I went to visit them. I suppose that rather defeats the purpose of being home alone, but I like camping. It has this sort of novelty feel to it, and it also helps me wake up early due to noisy neighbours.

The camping site was very lovely and right next to a lake which had a harbour on the other side of it. If you got bored you could simply pick a spot on the beach and watch people going bonkers with their little boats or with water-skiing.

Here are my parents being all lovey dovey. Or so I thought. What they were actually doing was checking out 4 guys making sand genitalia on the beach down below.

After successfully making the male parts they tried to make female parts. They even asked their mothers for tips, but quickly gave up. They simply didn’t know how to do it. So, logically, they went on to make a pair of knockers instead. Which is when my mom suggested they should make pierced nipples and it all went downhill from there.

Did I say novelty? I meant insanity.
