What made you happy today?

The dog is like a spoiled kid sometimes. He's locked under the house at the moment. More room to move than tied up.

Really pushed myself in spin class last three days especially the last two.

I've "sweated" so much in the last few days. My thighs are burning but all in a good way.

I was slack last week & didn't ride to work - mostly coz the weather was crap.

Back to work & riding to tomorrow after two "nice" days off.

Cheers mate, I'm the lucky one, every second I get to spend with her, man I love it!

Beautiful weather. Up at 6.30, walk along the beach and a swim in the surf, back to the room for a shower then down to the breakfast buffet.

Nearly 8.30. Finished reading my book yesterday, might have to go for a drive to mossman gorge or the Daintree river.

/\ ugh, that's cruel!

It's cold, wet, at least it's not windy!
Home alone, house clean, yards clean, paperwork done, no excuses, taxes time, ugh. Where is the alcohol! At least the heater is warm and the dog loves me

Good drive.called inat the Mossman market, then up to Daintree Village, spinback to the ferry then over the Daintree and up to Cape Tribulation.

Geez that's a beautiful drive, like going through a winding green tunnel. With the sun shine piercing the canopy in little spots, so many different shades of green.

Ah well. Think it's time to walk down to the pub for some afternoon libations

Well, i came to Port Douglas to relax and recharge, mission accomplished.

Apart from the big drive day yesterday I've just chilled.

Today went like this.

Sleep intil 7am

Walk along the beach and ocean swim

Shower followed by buffet breakfast

Strolled down to the sunday market, bought a coconut which they put a hole in so i could drink the juice with a straw, when you're finished drinking you take it back, they crack it in half, shred the coconut flesh and top it with your choice of salad or banana and honey. Had one of each.

Stroll around town then back to the room and read for a while on the balcony overlooking the ocean

Downstairs for lunch, some salt and pepper squid with salad, then off for another stroll.

Back to home base, swim in the pool, read a bit more, couple of beers on the balcony then wander down to the pub.

Few beers down there, then back to base for a Margarita on the pool deck.

Sitting on the balcony now with a beer and a glass of red listening to the local news on tv.

After the news I'll have a shower and walk back into town for dinner, then stop by the courty for a few beers and some live music.

I'm not sure if I could do this every day but I wouldn't mind trying

Sounds sensational mate!

Enjoy

It does sound perfect Stui, enjoy. Stay til next week if you can, apparently it's not getting remotely warm until November!

First time in I don't know how long that I slept like a baby! Feels so good today. And the house is clean inside and out, taxes are done, the dud car is gone, all ihave to do is a few scraps of paperwork and the ironing, which I haven't done for a month or so! Should only take an hour! Then I can finally get into that list of things to do when I don't have things I have to do. Last week I got online and joined both kids up with Aussie super, did the search and got their super all switched over. Time to make sure they both know how to handle their own finances. (Why don't they teach this stuff in school?) the eldest starts her first full time job on the 7th of November, junior has an interview tomorrow for a swim teacher position (she qualified as part of her uni course this semester and already had first aide) and she has a job at her old high school starting this week supervising exams, and then after exams, helping out with PE classes.

I took over hubby's car clubs website, should have had a look at it first, it's sooo bad I'm going to have to start from scratch, so might make a start on that today. Not sure how I ended up with the job! Dumb dumb dumb!

Life is good, gym time xxx

Blokes arrived this morning to start putting up my shed. Finally some action. Getting the slab laid was like giving birth to an echidna coming out arse first.

Boys did a good days work, 7:30 start and finished at 5:30. Frame and wall sheets all up, just gotta do the carport part, roof, doors, windows and floor seals.

Looking damn good. I should be able to get outside Monday and Tuesday and get my backyard cleared

Also, took the old girl to vicroads today to transfer her car rego from NSW to Victoria. Quick and painless and a lot easier and cheaper than in NSW.
