Chris thinks I'm aiming to make my life one long holiday. After wagging the conference in Sydney, I asked if he'd mind if I took off by myself to visit mum on the Sunshine Coast for the weekend. Dad is in Canada visiting his sisters so this was my birthday treat. And it was absolute bliss!The beach, which stretches for miles, is right across the road from their apartment and the weather was absolutely perfect for two of the three days I was there.
We had lunch at Bistro C on Friday for a friend Rob's birthday, walked along the beach, went out for coffees, cooked thai chicken salad one night and a duck salad the next, turned the television on only once to watch a dvd, read, did sudoku and just a little bit of shopping and...as only a mother and daughter can do...solved all of the problems of the world.
I'm getting the travel bug now. Bali's coming up and it looks like we might have the numbers to make it happen. And Chris may have a film which means regular work for a few months so we could have a real holiday later this year. An overseas one! I am trying not to get excited yet but I'm itching to start planning. Fingers crossed.

I love the idea of making my life one long holiday!! I haven't been to your blog for ages because although I link to you from my blog, it hadn't updated from a post written months ago ... I was worried you weren't blogging anymore! Oops, must have linked to just one post! Anyway, I enjoyed your tale of 'not the happiness conference' and Bali sounds like it will be wonderful :)
You are going to have the most fabulous time in Bali. You are going to have an incredible retreat.
Love you.
