So today rather that tackle the mountains of dishes, clothes and endless household chores waiting to be done, we did something a bit different.
Though if the truth be told since today was the day that Miss Eleven became Miss Twelve, I probably wouldn't have tackled any of those things and nor will I tomorrow for that matter.
We decided to take some time out from the birthday celebrations and come here
to see this man, Samuel Johnson. Maybe you have heard of him before?
He is currently on a rather exciting adventure as he rides a unicycle 15 000km around this fair nation that I call home. He is hoping to raise awareness about the importance for women, all women, of all ages, to feel their boobies.
Early detection of breast cancer means the chances of fighting it are greater.
As Sam and his sister Connie say
Don't fall into the booby trap,
be breast aware!
Samuel is also hoping to raise $1 million

Watching Sam feed the crocs was only half of the reason we were there. He had a much tougher challenge ahead.
One that involved him getting up close and personal to a certain crocodile called Chopper.
Don't be fooled by his calm appearance here. And with that I mean both the crocodile and Sam because it got a lot more heated after this. For now though I will leave it here. I have had a big day and it is now heading towards late, so you my lovely readers will just have to wait.
It's ok though, I promise I will be sharing plenty more about all the fun and excitement of today. In the meantime go check out Love Your Sister and make sure you stay booby aware.
Joining in, for the first time in a long time with
with perhaps a not so wordless post, but a very important message.
One that I know is close to a lot of our hearts xxx
Oh I can't wait to see the rest of it!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel that way by the end of Jess, I think there are going to Samuel Johnson and Love Your Sister posts for the next month!

DeleteSuch a great journey he is on!!! You won't see me jumping into a croc cage anytime soon!! no thank you!!! I've been following Love Your Sister and its so beautiful what he is doing!!
ReplyDelete#tust visiting :)
I have always wanted to do this and after Wednesday I want to do it even more. I can be a bit of an thrill seeker at times though. They actually have insurance so I if by chance it all went wrong your family gets a little pay out ;p Which I take as meaning they are sure nothing will go wrong
DeleteWhat an exciting day! What a great challenge Samuel set to himself! A very important cause.
ReplyDeleteIt totally was an exciting day and an amazing challenge, but like you say a very important cause
DeleteFantastic photos and what a great cause. Hope your daughter had a lovely birthday.
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely, she sure did. And it really is a great cause.
DeleteA great post and cause Rhi, I'm pretty good at being boobie aware, the husband likes to help out a bit also - hee hee. Em - visiting from Blogs and PR
ReplyDeleteyou are such a funny girl Em and you know what getting our husbands to have a regular feel is one of the best ways to keep checking. You can never be too booby aware
DeleteBreast Aware is a great message to ride for - but I would not be getting in there with the crocs. Brave man!
ReplyDeletePopping over from Blogs and PR
lol about the crocs, wait till you see the photo of all the scratches in the cage!
DeleteHow amazing is Sam, I would never get that close to a croc. I am in awe of Samuel Johnson and his unicycle adventure to raise funds and awareness to save women from Breast cancer.
