Morning all

[Halex]

We are having a lovely time here in Bali, weather sunnyand 31 most days. Relaxing, eating lots of spicy food and looking forward to class in a couple of days.

Lots going on in form, have had a quick  look. Miss my TM,  must say first time ever I would be happy to whip something up on holidays. A friend has mine while I am here so it's being well loved.

Glad you are having a great time, Hally - very envious here in Melbourne - we're going for a scorching 13 degrees today!  Relax and enjoy the rest of your holiday

[Halex]

Thanks, we will. I must admit friends say it's really cold in Perth too, lucky I escaped just in time.

Good to hear you are enjoying yourself Hally, how's the recipe hunting going over there.  Any tips from the chefs yet?

[Halex]

The pastes they make over here are the key ingredient to all their dishes, so hoping to get some re ipes at the cooking class
 

[Shazzy]

Yes Hally it is cold here in Perth at the moment.  Was 3 degrees when I was taking my son to school this morning.  Enjoy the warm weather and the cooking school - should be great fun.

You are certainly correct about it being cold here Hally. Monday was -0.4 at Jandakot so it would have been cold at your place. Enjoy yourself.

Hally,  have a great time and enjoy the sun and cooking class.

[Halex]

Thanks everyone, we are having such fun and the weather is beautiful

Every morning at breakfast the serve a different  tea, today I had lemongrass and cinamon, very nice. I like to try the different teas.

I must admit  we are laughing at some of the europeans who keep getting up earlier earlier to grab the best sun lounges, I think they must set their alarms as they are not with kids.... Gosh the stress they put themselves under to there first. We care up early with DS, they must have very little sleep

It cracks me up, the race was big today, I went fir early swim at 8 and most dun lounges had towels, books etc but no people.

Glad you are having a great time Hally, we leave on Sunday morning, we are staying in a villa we have a chef so I might be able to get some tips from him as well as my cooking class.

Continue to enjoy your hol Hally and Yvette you must be chomping at the bit - enjoy your break as of Sunday

Don't know what it is about people wanting to be first for anything Hally.  When DH could no longer work as a butcher, we did a couple of trips on trains and buses with a pensioner club (us being by far the youngest people in the group) and we were always amazed at how they all wanted to be first on the bus and first off the bus.  As soon as the bus stopped they were up, trying to get their cases from the racks and on this particular day, the bus driver realised there was a puddle of water right where people would be stepping off so he decided to move the bus back a bit.  All those standing went this way and that and they were lucky no one broke any bones. These trips were a real eye opener - we only did 2 then started doing our own thing

Same thing happened in Thailand when we were there this year. Even witnessed an arguement over who had reserved the sunbed first and how they had had the same one for x amount of days. I say if you're on holidays, just let it all go.

[Halex]

Yvette, you are going  to love it here, looking forward ton hearing about your cooking lessens etc. At least you won't witness the towel episodes, it's actually quite funny.

JD &twutterpad I know it cracks me up,  I swim laps in the ,mornings or power walk, I am out by 6.30, I said to Cameron as a joke I should put a towel on all the hotspots and sit back and watch them all. It is silly some beds today had no-one there for overv2 hours, it's rude, use it or leave it I say.

I just can't understand we have 2 beautiful pools here, we have one from our room, loads of space and it's  a 5 star hotel so it's not like anyone is slumming it anywhere...
Anyway enough, loving the food
