Hey Gang;
Friday was The Lovely Samantha's birthday. Like any adoring partner, i got up at the crack of dawn, went out for fresh flowers, put the kettle on, prepared pancake mixture... and waited several hours for the rest of the house to stir into life.
For some reason, this year was particularly difficult. I just couldn't think of anything to get her. I thought I'd struck gold with a last minute dash into HMV for the first series of Star Trek Next Generation. Alas it will just see me dash back into the store this week for a refund. Lucky the flowers were a hit.
After depositing Bodhi at daycare, we high tailed it to the Hunter Valley for a few days of R&R. Mum had kindly offered to babysit for the weekend. Now, being skint and a bit of a tight arse, you'd be forgiven for wondering why the splurge on a weekend away - A friend's wedding.
The weather wasn't great but it didn't stop us getting out and about for a few wines, food and scenery. The wedding wasn't too shabby either. Gave us a good excuse to catch up with the Hudsons and other friends who live just around the corner but we never manage to see otherwise.
Sunday was more or the same lousy weather and a long slow drive home.
I'm now trying to pen a 2000 word article to accompany my photos of the cycle journey for (hopeful) publication in Australian Photography magazine. Dunno about you, but I hate writing about travel after returning home. Just can't seem to capture that same vibe...like Mabo.
see ya,
Minas.
BTW - Finally got around to launching my website
