Soon after finishing his first day back at work after a 3 week break, Anthony (thankfully) wasn’t too tired to go for a ride.  So after getting his gear he was out the door.

The first thing he noticed when he opened the garage was that my position in the garage had changed slightly…..Darryl the taxi driver had finally moved the tiles that were in my way, and then moved me over against the wall, so now there is more space for everyone.

And so we set off…..straight out to the highway, up over the bridge, down the hill and straight to the beach.  (those of you who know Anthony may be wondering why he feels the need to go for a ride to the beach when he has one across the road from his house, but I think its another one of those human things……I don’t ask, just smile and nod.)

We cruised around Coolangatta for a while, then headed up to Point Danger, then zipped back down the road through the late afternoon traffic, and as we were heading into South Tweed Heads, the spots of rain began.  These spots then grew in size, and volume…until we were soon stuck in a heavy shower of rain with big wind gusts.

This wasn’t so bad when were heading back up the hill, but when we got to the bridge it was a different story.  I don’t like the wind, but I’m thankful that Anthony managed to catch a bit of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht racing on TV over Christmas as there were times when he had to virtually lean me into the wind like a boat to keep us upright….That wasn’t fun!

As this has been my third post since last week, I initially felt that a Celebrity Pillion Passenger wasn’t required, but then I changed my mind. It’s my blog, my rules.

And so this episode’s winner has been around for a long time.  She began her career in 1980, then two years later starred as "Gertie" in ET, she has played the role of "Julia" in the Wedding Singer, played the @$$-kicking  “Dylan” in Charlie’s Angels, and one of my personal favourites is her performance as "Bjergen Kjergen", the swedish receptionist in Wayne’s World 2  (Schmergen!!!).

She is currently dating the "Hello I'm a Mac" guy, Justin Long.  She is "Heir to a Hollywood dynasty, child star, prepubescent drug and alcohol abuser, teenage sexpot, and resurrected vessel of celluloid purity......" (wikipedia reference) .........She is the one and only Drew Barrymore.
