aahhhh, holidays




Well the end of term arrived finally….. Stress compounded towards the end as usual and my mind pretty much went on strike and refused to play after a while. Thank heavens for good friends that you can kick back with in the breaks and share a laugh!

Although my mental self always does the business in terms of getting on and doing whatever is necessary, my physical self does not always keep up hence a cold that has lingered on for the best part of three weeks now! Sheesh – talk about staying power!

I have now cleared out my office of 10 years worth of accumulated resources. I really had quite an impressive store. I was quite ruthless. Aside from it being an absolute mammoth task taking two of us over 4 hours non-stop; it was quite an energizing exercise. It was a throwing out the old and tired and making way for a fresh new start.

So, now the holidays have arrived. I spent a couple days doing retail therapy which is really good for the soul – if not the cheque book. Next up is a trip out of town. The objective is transparent - to wash off the city dust and grime and to settle down to some serious beach time. A trip to White Island is on the itinerary for some spectacular sights and sounds and time soaking in thermal pools is also on schedule – with pure, unadulterated relaxation in mind. The weather has come to the party, too, switching on absolutely gorgeous sunshine!


I love Thanksgiving. It is the only time in Los Angeles that you see natural breasts.
