It seem's like an age and a half since I did anything here except look to see who's been looking!!!
When last I talked, I was heading off for a long weekend in Brisbane with my lovely Anne!! Attending the official forum was of course part of the trip as well - but it paled compared to the time spent with my beloved!!!
The Executive Suite was pretty damn good - and did have a view over the Brisbane River towards Southbank and the Performance Centre, where we were booked to see "Ying Tong"!!! Remember?
I gotta tell you that this show was excellent - brilliantly acted (by only four men), well written, and as funny as the Goons - but it also had an edge to it that well illustrated the mental turmoil and difficulty that Spike Milligan lived with for many years!!
I recommended this show to you before I had seen it - but now having seen it live - I strongly recommend that you take every opportunity to see it when it comes anywhere near your place of abode!!
Since I've ben back in the lovely North - the weather has been simply stunning ....... the onset of spring makes this part of the world so delightful and livable that I can't imagine how I managed to not live here for so long!! I've been working, of course, but really just waiting in anticipation of the weekends and days off when I can indulge in the joys of Trinity Beach!! It's so wonderful, that last Sunday at around 10 am, I actually was enticed into the water!! Simply idyllic!!
Today has been nearly as good, but there was a bit more breeze this morning, so I was content to just walk the length of the beach and wade knee high in the breakers. That was so enoyable that I decided to hang around and have lunch by the water!! A steak burger and cappuchino never tasted so good, I tell you!!!
After I'd stuffed my face, I wasn't sure how I'd fill in my afternoon, so I decided to go for a drive up to Lake Morris - Copperlode Dam - supplies Cairns's water supply. Only 20 km from the centre of town and you get to see sights like these!!!
Don't you wish you were joining the throng of thousands who are moving up here????
