A little holiday
« on: April 27, 2010, 05:24:12 am »
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,  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.
