G'day from way up near the border of Queensland. As I type this husband & I are having dinner at a local sports club where they have free internet. It's very slow. The dinner, as well as the internet... I'm typing this while we wait for our order. difficult child 3 stayed back at the apartment, we had a fight today and he hit me. I told him he could come out to dinner with us, but I didn't want to stay in to cook for someone who doesn't appreciate what I do. Long lecture to him about values, integrity, respect... he chose to stay in and forage in the fridge, said he needed time on his own. I think he's doing some hard thinking. Good.
Dinner is almost over and I still can't get online properly, so I'm emailing this in. I can do this again (if my friends don't mind passing on messages/updates for me!) but other than to say "Having a wonderful time, wish you were here," there isn't a lot to say.
My nephew's wedding is Saturday, this is a beautiful area. We've had a bit of exploring around, checking out the white-sanded beaches, rolling breakers and various tourist traps as well as the amazing food. There are fruits up here that I've never seen before. Look up "Tropical Fruit World" - we're five minutes away. The weather - typical tropical summer, absolutely fabulous. We went for a swim at the beach this afternoon, late in the afternoon, and could still feel the bite of the sun. The water was comfortably warm, crystal clear. Long, smooth breakers.
I'll post more later on, probably after we get back. If I can't access CD, then I can't access anything else including FaceBook. So all those wonderful photos will also have to wait - besides, we left the camera cable at home!
husband is downloading/uploading emails at the usorious rates charged by our apartment complex. He logs on, transfers messages then logs off. We were told this club would be a lot better. Not on my little white box, it ain't!
Oh well, I need a holiday. It's forcing me to get some more writing done - deadlines!
I'll post more in about ten days' time, including photos where possible.
Luvyezall!
