Greetings from the beach...
Hello my dear flist… 'tis the sunkissed Foxxy One here, currently parked up outside some poor unsuspecting soul’s house while I bunny hop onto their wireless internet connection, lol. You gotta love those peeps with unsecured connections. I know I do. *g*
So, how’s it all going, you might ask? I think I can sum it up in three words. Sun, surf, swimming. Hmmm. Make that four *wipes brow* Did I mention sun?
We are all enjoying our little break very much. The weather has been simply amazing; it’s been something of a heat wave up the coast this week with temperatures around the high 30’s and even reaching 40 degrees (that’s around 100 - 105F mark) on one particular day. I’ve nearly used up a whole bottle of sunblock 30+ already and am so happy and relieved I bought the boy’s (including the biggest boy, lol) new rash vests for Christmas - they’d have been burnt to a crisp without them!
I haven’t forgotten to cover up myself from the aging rays of the sun, either - I'm easy to spot - just look for the one on the sand with the large beach hat and sunglasses, looking tres elegant with sarong deftly knotted over my bikini. *g*
It seems the heat has contributed to a few bushfires springing up around Sydney as well, including a few in areas that are on the way home so we’re keeping an eye on them. Hopefully, we won’t get stuck coming home like we did two years ago. I’ll keep you posted anyway. *g*
We’ve spent most of our days near or on the water, including taking the ferry over to Palm Beach, a very salubrious neighbourhood where a lot of the rich and famous have ridiculously large, multi-windowed houses overlooking the beach. Didn't see any of said celebs on the beach when we were there; I daresay they were lounging around their massive inground pools instead, lol. Half your luck, I reckon!
I’ve taken lots of pictures but didn’t remember to take the cord for the camera to the laptop *facepalm* so unfortunately, you’ll have to wait until I get home to see them.
I hope this finds you all well. I've had a VERY quick skim through the flist - have seen the news, the inevitable has happened and this season will be the end of our beloved PB. *sighs* It is for the best, IMO, but I must say I will miss watching them on my laptop and/or telly every week. I have done some pretty amazing stuff all in the name of fangirling this show, so it will always be very special. At least I'll always have my DVDs, fanfic and US trip memories, hey? *dabs eyes* I'll always be a Lincoln girl! *g*
But, the best thing was meeting all of you - we have so much more in common than just one TV show, right? So, the online chat will still be around which means it's all going to be fine. Besides, I'm keen to see what our fave actors will do next. It'll be good to have some new stuff to watch. At any rate, I'll still be here. :) Just wanted that on record. *g*
Okay, I better head off - we're here for another two days before we go home on Saturday so I'll catch up with you guys over the weekend.
*blows kisses*
