What a ‘Reel’ Birthday Treat!

Fakebook Ramble – November 18, 2025

(aka Facebook Post!)

Well that was a “reel” birthday treat as Mr Rawson reeled me in hook, line and sinker with a gift I could not figure out until he told me we were heading to BCF and Anaconda.

Oooh, a new reel for the rod I got earlier in the year and we hadn’t found one for yet. Plus my own tackle box, a few squid jags and the bonus of a second smaller rod… which I now need to get another reel to use.

Forget my birthday, I reckon Mr Rawson has been reelly enjoying having caught all his birthdays at once throughout the past year… in netting way more fishing gear… now that I have embraced my inner squid hunter.

But I do seem to have found myself in a tad bit of a jag!

Uhm yeah…

It appears squid jags might be a new collection I can feel coming on…!?

Okay, I hear ya…

How many collections does one woman need?

Like playing cards, t shirts, all things coffee, books, pens and more are clearly not enough collections for one gal to have.

No wonder I get on with various birds so well.

All reelly bad fishing puns aside, I reckon Mr Rawson realises it is way too late to throw his werido wifey back at this point.

And ya know there is a thing or two to be said for the fact he will never have to worry about being caught short for a single jag ever again.

Now, if Spring would grace us fully with her presence that would be greatly appreciated, I got a rod to christen and squid to catch.

Anyone else itching to find somewhere that appears safe to catch whatever calls from the deep blue as the weather warms?

Editorial Note…

Catch ya ‘reel’ soon, with plenty more rambles from Fakebook to snag!

I am indeed Rebecca, I’m not your average Aussie sheila, or ever Gen Xer really, and I am certainly not everyone else's cup of whatever is their preferred pleasure in human form. But who and what I actually am, is a slap in ya face shot of REAL in the factual REALity of a world drowning in superficiality... perhaps a tad too real after a long creamy shot of caffeinated get up & go!

I warn you though, I am long overdue in taking possession of my birthright to indulge in life's simple pleasures, to savour the bittersweetness of dark laughter, and I sure have earnt my right to dabble in some Gen X inspired midlife mayhem.

Unexpectedly free to embrace my late blooming rebellion, fully cashed up with a mother load of unspent misspent youth, just begging me to spend it. I stand before the world decidedly starkers... as starkers in my naked candour as my irrefutable level of crazy... speaking my mind and beating society at its own games like never before!
