4 sleeps to go....

Come fly with me, come fly - lets fly away!!!

Yep, we are finally off to Vanuatu very shortly. We have been planning this trip for almost 18+ months now... and I cant believe its actually here.

We land in Vanuatu at Midnight, and according to the weather forecast - will wake up to a glorious day of 27 deg, sunshine and low humidity!!!
While our friends back home will wake to....rain.... albeit much needed rain, but rain all the same. Sorry fella's - I would put you all in my suitcase and take you with me... but you know how tetchy the customs dudes are these days!!!

This is just a quicky as I still have so much to do - including Vanessa and Nathan's wedding cake - and only 3 shorts days to do it in!!!!
Heeeee heeee heee heee..........

Walking to the Bay...

yes thats right - Michelle (from my mums group) and I completed the 6km section of the City to Bay Fun Run - or walk in our case!

And boy were we thrilled, elated, excited & happy all at the same time!

We walked & talked all the way from Kurralta Park Shopping complex to the Bay.
It was a cool, windy morning but it didnt stop 23,120 other Adelaidians from getting out there & doing the same.

Michelle & I completed it in 58 mins - walking 1km every 9.66 minutes.Which i think is pretty good - I did it in 59 mins last year - so to me its a PB!!!

We had a delish lunch of chicken & salad courtesy of the Contours Gym team, froze our tits off in the wind & got caught in the rain while waiting for the bus & were drenched by the time we made it onto the full & steamy FREE bus back to Kurrulta....
All in all it was a great morning- one we will not forget in a hurry mind you! But is well worth the early start, the cost & the slightly sore muscles!!!
If anyone wants to give it a go with us next year Michelle & I will be walking & talking again!!!

Cant look - but cant tear my eyes away....


Yep am watching the proverbial train-wreck....

Bindi Irwin's special on her dad....

Silly thing is - I know how it ends....

But still I watch.


What makes it worse...

I'm completely choc full of those wonderful (?) girly hormones...

PMT levels are at an all time high...

I know i'm gonna cry...

And yet I continue to watch.


I'm also a mum...

Of two beautiful little girls...

And it would be just.....(words escape me...) to lose their dad - not only for their sake...

AND YET I continue to watch.



Hmmmm better get back to the show - would hate to miss the punch line....!
