High & Dry

In keeping with my current holiday theme, todays tune is one I was reminded of while away.

It happened to come on the radio while cruising along the Captain Cook Highway at sunset and suddenly I was transported to another time along a different highway, under a different sunset but when it also seemed to fit the moment perfectly.

Different time, different place but while going through a similar transitional phase of my life.

I don't think I've heard this played on commercial radio for over 10 years and I'd forgotten how much I used to (and apparently still do) love Radiohead.

Do you ever find yourself thinking about an issue or a certain someone and then suddenly the perfect song just happens to pop up out of nowhere over the radio?

Gotta love serendipity xx

Clownish Casualties

Our private pool lit up at night

so with the water still warm from the afternoon sun

along with the balmy conditions at a lovely constant of 30℃,

even at 10pm, every evening was perfect for a bit of night swimming.

Hubby decided to show off a few handstands for you guys while I snapped away.

In his own words: "I'll give you something to blog about"

Too bad he accidentally face planted the pool instead.

Give me something to blog about will you?

Well you sure did baby,

you sure did.

;)

We interrupt our regular holiday blogging to announce this important announcement:

I'm late!!!

Two days late to be exact...
Yet all other signs of success point to no…. so… hmmm? Tricky.

A bit too much of the good life this month perhaps?
Seems not giving a rats about "trying" anymore doesn't exactly agree with my PCOS.

It has until Monday to come to the party before I do another test but I'm almost 99% sure it's just my ovaries playing funny buggers with me again.
After all I have none of the telltale signs I had last month and I've been very very naughty on the health front lately which I know always wreaks havoc on my cycle.

Then again I've been completely regular for the past 6 months so you just never know, but either way that's a mighty good run for me in my history of runs.

C'mon body, would you meet me half way here please?
I promise to be a good girl and start treating you like a temple again if you promise to deliver the goods soon.

Okay, it's off my chest.
Now back to our regular blogging, sorry for the interruption.

Wordless Wednesday

What more can be said of this beautiful place?

Ha! It's me we're talking about, so plenty, but not on WW.

Cascade Capers

Trinity Beach:

From the first day of our holiday we decided to pack as much into our short trip as possible, starting with a closer look at our surrounds.

With that out of the way we were off to The Crystal Cascades:

 

Saw so many of these cute rentals all around Cairns.

While many of the locals were swimming around down there

we, on the other hand, decided not to.

Luckily…

Yea, the snake was a bit intimidating too.

Arrival

Once we got to Cairns Airport there was a bit of a kerfuffle with the car hire company.

It seems that while our travel agent managed to take our money for the car she didn't actually arrange for it to be waiting for us.

Being a Sunday we couldn't even get hold of her but happily it all worked out in our favour.

Rather than getting your standard mode of hire ie: Hyundai Getz - we got upgraded to a brand new Holden Cruz in shiny blue (my favourite colour) with all it's mod cons plus bells & whistles.

It even had a sunroof!

Cue cruses down the highway with my hair whipping in the wind...

So after a quick swim and some breakfast along the esplanade (the public pool in Cairns is soo cool… it has white sand and overlooks the beach. Best of all it's free!) we zipped off to check in and check out our resort.

 The view from our deck where you can dive straight into the pool.

I settled for dipping myself in slowly for some floating around

before heading off for some cocktails and a nibble.

Who would've thought lazing beachside and by the pool

would turn out to be such thirsty work...

:)

Above The Clouds

As much as I enjoyed being away and disconnected from the hassles of day to day life here at home, I really really missed the Blogworld.

(Is that a bit sad of me?)

When we checked in at the resort I immediately noticed the computer in the lobby with free internet connection and cursed myself for not bringing my cameras USB cord….

Drats!

Anyway because of that prepare to be saturated with day by day run downs of our little holiday, this week.

At least this way I'll be reliving it somewhat and feel a little less like I'm really back :)
