It really has been a busy time. I thought staying at Southport on the Gold Coast would mean more time to write and do things. But it has not worked out quite like that.
I have had to make a few trips to Brisbane for a few things, I've been to Murwillumbah, and I have spent two days in Brisbane at the WordPress WordCamp. There's been so much to learn about WordPress - and I am quietly confident that I am headed in the right direction with it all.
At Murwillumbah I was pleased to visit the Tweed Regional Gallery - where I took photos of the surrounding hills, and of course Margaret Olley's Gallery.
There is just over one week before I head back up to Brisbane to prepare for the trip to Alice Springs. It's approaching faster than I thought it would. And I still have a lot of preparations to do.
Staying at Southport has given me the opportunity to see around a bit more. I've never stayed more than 2 days in this tourist spot. I am not a great fan of the place despite there being many beautiful places. I can't cope with the high traffic, the noise, etc. So still for me, it is a visit only place.
Tomorrow is my birthday. Maybe I will get a few phone calls (but my phone doesn't work here - maybe they will catch me as I drive to Brisbane), and I will not see my family. Most unlikely. One is working in Brisbane and the other is in Finland.
Party? Gifts? Cards? Friends and family? Nope.
I am shouting myself a birthday gift, about which I am quite excited. I am going on a Whale Watching tour from the Gold Coast.
We will see what tomorrow brings.
