Dukie and Princess Leah Save the Planet........Anything else is incidental

"Holy pharkn lots of water" screamed Dukie as she hung over the back deck for a look below.

One of the problems in living on the jungle is the heat builds up until storm season and then torrential rainfall is the norm until the whole place floods. We are lucky in the Tree House as we are so high up, but all around us in Brisvegas and the Republic of Queensland there was sooorious damage being done by rising waters. Captain Bligh had declared a "Republic Emergency" as things were so dire.

I could hear Princess Leah in the bathroom and I had no idea what she was up to. Next thing she waddled out with her jungle bikini, flippers, goggles and snorkel on and jumped off the back deck.

"Bombs away Dukester" she screamed as she went over the edge.

Next thing she landed with a splash that went over the roof of the Tree House and covered all of us as well. When she came up her bikini top was looking more like a bandanna and her flotation aids were keeping her upright. A bit nipply I guessed as floods waters are generally cold due to having just come from the air. I think.

Princess swam around for a while before she screamed out she had an idea and Dukie needed to start getting "Plastic Fantastic" ready. Plastic Fantasic is a big "float" we had built for a Mardi Gras a few years ago out of pink plastic. Afterwards we were thinking of putting her in for recycling when Lamb came up with an idea that we could turn it into a boat. It sat down the back of the jungle most of the time. For the last day or so it had been moored off the back of the Tree House.

Dukie and Princess Leah had been fixing up the engines and we were thinking of taking her out to the Mighty River soon. If needed we might also do some food and medicine drops for villagers or for towns people even. Obviously Princess Leah had other ideas.

"Dukie you will need to pack as many sandwiches and cakes as possible as this will be a big trip. We will need to sail the length and breadth of this great land to fulfil our mission. Dukie looked a little bewildered as Princess still hadn't filled us in on exactly what the mission involved.

Dukie and I jumped into action anyway. Dukie packed some egg and lettuce, ham and cheese, sundried tomato, basil and salami sandwiches. All on gluten free bread she bakes at the Tree House. I knew some of our big mango trees would still be above water and told the girls not to forget these.

I also baked a super quick batch of gluten free chocolate brownies.

Then I added a litre of Gin in case they got lost. I have no idea how it happens but you never fail to get home when you're off your tits on Gin. Lost? Have a drink and you'll wake up in the morning saying "I can't remember getting home". The point is at least you got home. So always be prepared and take Gin. Phark taking a compass or map.

The girls headed off in Plastic Fantastic. I reminded them that they might have to get Lamb from work over near the Mighty River and Honoruru and Camilla Gonzalez from the "Ten Ways".

Princess Leah smiled and said "she'll be pharkn right mate- we are off to save the planet and anything else is incidental".

I had no idea what they were up to and I didn't want to know.

Goodbye girls. Safe sailing.
