Getting Older/Celebrating

Thanks to my wonderful niece - and the good folk I work with every day - yesterday was spent constantly being reminded of the fact that there may well be only one other person in our staff of over 200 who might be older than me!!! How tragic is that????
Still, it means that I'm nothing if not persistent!!! Who else out there has worked for the same employer for 41 years, I ask??? Must be my anal retentiveness coming through!!!!


I'm going to be off air for a while soon - what's new you may ask? My lovely Anne arrives on Thursday night for ten wonderful days!!! It's our anniversary, so I've booked us a wonderful holiday in the Carrington penthouse suite up on the Tablelands at Yungaburra. The place is called Williams Lodge and has been around since 1911!! Like everything, it's only a short drive from here, (75 minutes), and the Tablelands is like another world - it's always less humid than Cairns, and many people live up there to avoid just that. (For those of you who know Toowoomba - it's a lot like their climate up there!!!!!)

So, we are off up there to laze around and indulge ourselves - only for one night mind you, but it promises to be absolutely decadent. We plan to do a tour of the crater lakes and numerous waterfalls to be seen on the southern Tableland, so hopefully will have some decent photos to show you on our return!!

I'll see you all sometime next week!!! Ciao!!!

Yeah - and you can see platypuses there too!
Looks wonderful - I hope you both have a great time together.
Sorry about the whole bum thing - obviously not quite in my right mind there - only the best intention though!
My fault for the dog bite - got between two fighting dogs - stupid!
Too embarrassed to say which body part it is now - suffice to say - a "fleshy" part.
Hope you had a good birthday - the last company I worked for - the MD was in his 70's and his dad (in his 90's) used to come in and potter around. Apparently, this is the way of the future.
Yes - I too am a fan of Kev Carmody's - imagine that!?!
Do you have the latest CD with the cover versions of his songs - I love it!
I used to sit next to his son in primary school.
Do you like Jimmy Little too?

Hope to see some magnificent photos when you are back online!
