Home sweet home....



So while we wait, how about a shot or two of home?  I mentioned we live in Brisbane, Ausralia right?  ..... And here's how it looks from our balcony this bright sunny Sunday morning.

Looking North, check out the Story Bridge, not quite Sydney Harbour's coat-hanger but you can climb it if you are keen....

Out to the West, our views of the city skyline, looks great, day and night and out to the East, we overlook New Farm and the Marina.... ahhhhh.... love it.....

If you are ever here in September, make sure you stick around for Riverfire, the closing night of our annual River Festival, it is spectacular!  Fireworks and military jet flypasts, you can't get much better than that!

Get yourself a good viewing spot at Southbank or Kangaroo Cliffs....
Not my finest pics but the city lights up for one of the most spectacular firework shows every year, not to be missed and ..... no, I can't argue, we have a great view!

A week out...........

Well here we are... the final countdown...  7 days and still can't get the flight times in my head!  K has confused me (not difficult) by telling me about 10 different arrival times, we have been getting there anywhere between 10 in the morning Sunday and midnight Sunday evening... with travel time around 36 hours door to door is it any wonder I am confused...??

We leave here Saturday morning (Brisbane time) and all being well arrive at our final destination Sunday evening (Brisbane time).... we shall be like the walking dead and no doubt K will be doing his best to be at his most irritating as well as ratty by then... 

Been thinking about my goals for my holiday.... I will let you judge for yourself by the end if I achieved any or better still, all of them....
  1. Most importantly....recover my sense of humour, it seems to have gone missing of late.... which is a bit sad and far too serious....
  2. Reinstate my life-work balance, it has been a little off balance recently and unfortunately not balanced in favour of life.... its time to "get a life"....
  3. Revisit some old haunts.....
  4. Catch up with family.....
  5. Restore my accent!!! 
  6. See some old friends, some young ones too...
  7. Have lots of fun and laughter....
  8. Create some new memories.... my favourite bit....
  9. Visit some new spots... aka Provence, France.....
  10. .... and above all... spend quality time with K having a jolly nice time....

So Saturday evening a week out... been to the hairdressers, bit short but it'll grow on me .... lunch tomorrow with great friends followed by 4 days in the office, packing on Friday and we are off.... making tracks in the sky....
