I'm off on a little holiday as of Friday until early June. Off to Monkey Mia to see if I can catch a fish. DH is trying to pack the caravan but I've informed him he can't have 'Termite" until the last minute. I can hardly wait 4-5 weeks, sitting looking over the ocean with nothing to do except read, read, cook occasionally, try some wine, read, fish, read and did I mention reading?
I'm taking my netbook but phone coverage up there is pretty lousy at times so I don't hold out too much hope for my wifi. Hopefully I'll be able to look in occasionally.
Leaving the kids and birds to babysit the house and pay the bills.

Cookie for getting a nice quiet break and Jo for having rain. Very dry down here again. :-[

Cookie, have a great holiday. It has just started to rain here, and the nights are now cold, we have lit the wood combustion stove so the house is nice and warm. However to sit by the ocean and read , Paradise.

Hi everyone. So far I've caught 2 black snapper. We've only been out fishing 2 days so it has been more reading than fishing. Termite has been used frequently. DH decided the other night he wanted chicken risotto. He copped a lot of flack from friends until he explained I could make it quite quickly.
I'm mainly readingg all the posts and not replying to many. I seem to be very aware of my time limits etc.
Update you soon. :-* :-* :-*
-
Great to hear from you cookie and good to hear that termite has been put to good use!
-
I was just thinking about you today (and all that reading you would be doing) Hope you are having a great time. Not missing anything down here- today we were blanketed in smoke from controlled burns down south. Played havoc with the asthmatics .
-
At least you are catching some fish !! and still in contact :-* :-* :-*
-
This thread has the potential to develop like I Love Bimby's search for the perfect dessert :o. Keep it going Cookie1 - would love to share your holiday.
-
Thanks. It haS been a bit too windy for fishing for a few days. Termite has been busy making dips for all the drinks time and also the buttermilk scones with homemade jam. I cooked the scones in our glass easy cook as I don't have an oven in the van.
A lot of 'excitement' here at the moment. they have found nasty samples from sewerage in the ocean. The resort is being blamed. At the moment they are checking everywhere to see where the problem is coming from but have had no luck so far. they are getting rather concerned as the Health Dept and environmental dept are at them. do hope they don't kick us all out and send us home. the toilets were closed for 5 hours on Saturday and 7 hours on sunday. I'm very glad our van has a toilet and shower in it.
Hi to everyone. I am missing my daily fix of an hour+ on the forum.
-
Nice to see you popping in from time to time Cookie1. Hope they fix the sewerage problem and don't send you packing. :-* :-*
-
Yuk . Bet there isn't much swimming happening :-\ :-\ Wish I could join you for drinks

:D :D :D :D
Hope they fix the sewerage problem soon Chookie. But it's a good excuse to impress some more with Termite, sit back and relax ;)
-
Great to hear from you Cookie.
-
Whoops! The sewerage problem doesn't sound good, cookie.... :-\
I'd love to be there joining you for drinks too!
-
Oh dear - hope the fish have not overeaten sewerage. Oh well - at least you know somebody is checking it out. Not like some places I have been OS.
-
probably advise not to swim with goggles on 8) - ignorance is bliss!
