Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows -Everything that’s wonderful is what I feel when we’re together

I loved the shampoo and conditioner. Ok, well, it was really just the sunshine part of that song’s title that is relevant to this days post. Tuesday started with 9 laps of deck 4. 3 laps is one mile, so I was ready for breakfast after. Today looked to be a much better day asContinueContinue reading “Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows -Everything that’s wonderful is what I feel when we’re together”

Oh What a Day

Embarkation day. At about 4 am, I registered that the nightclub music has ceased. It was a very quiet start to our day… just pattering and re-packing our suitcases before we went downstairs to check out. Three of us caught a maxi Uber with all the luggage while everyone else trammed to the overseas terminal.ContinueContinue reading “Oh What a Day”

In which we are Sydney tourists and we stay overtop a night club- on a Saturday night…

Our Murray’s bus up to Sydney this morning was uneventful. I hadn’t slept well the night before so I attempted to snooze, but without a pillow buffer, the window drilled a relentless and uncomfortable staccato against my temple. We arrived to a very humid Sydney central station Most of us had never used the lightContinueContinue reading “In which we are Sydney tourists and we stay overtop a night club- on a Saturday night…”

In which I become a leeetle bit of a food critic

The night before, I had gone to bed at 10:30.At around 11:15, the door opened and a new roomie came in. We each have a lamp near our bed. New roomie turned on the bright main light; probably to find her lamp, I thought hopefully.Nope. The light stayed on for over an hour as newContinueContinue reading “In which I become a leeetle bit of a food critic”

In which the language of coffee is NOT universal

I woke early today, got dressed and walked straight out to the bus depot. Today was Fremont Day!I jumped on the 41. Three fare enforcers, looking rather a lot like police swaggered around the bus. An unfortunate fare evader climbed on board. To his credit, he held his own for a while, pretending to lookContinueContinue reading “In which the language of coffee is NOT universal”
