Ahhhh yes – July 24 – here you are to once again add another year to my
tally of birthdays. Thank you.
Last night I had the worst sleep being awake for much of the night
watching Game of Thrones on DVD while trying desperately hard to ignore it and
sleep. We blame the 2 bottles of coke!
It was a late sleep in and a very easy morning. A couple of calls from home and a nice hot
cup of tea. Then we were into the fun
part of the day – bathing the dogs. Yep. On my birthday. Tomorrow we have to pack everything up as we
leave Darwin Tuesday morning, so this was the latest I could leave the
bathing.
It was a pretty warm day today with a top of 34 but thankfully we still
haven’t had the humidity so the heat has been wonderful. The rest of the day we just spent sitting and
talking about what we’ve seen and done and being very grateful for the
opportunity to be where we are. We also
talked about our next leg of the trip and our concerns about the weather. We are really reluctant to venture bFack into
the cold and wet until absolutely necessary.
We spent the first couple of weeks of the trip being cold and wet and it
wasn’t a whole bunch of fun, nor was it pleasant trying to keep the dogs
dry. The thought of finishing the trip
with 3 or 4 weeks of more of that doesn’t sit well with us so we may just keep
an eye on the weather and adjust our plans as we need to.
It's been a family day today, talking with Shane’s family and thinking
of those who aren’t doing so well at the moment. Perspective can make you realise how lucky
you are sometimes and it certainly makes you appreciate what you have. I am truly blessed to be spending my birthday
in such a lovely place, on such a wonderful holiday with the best travelling
partner a girl could ask for.
Tonight is Chinese food and tomorrow we start preparations for another
exciting journey.
And not one photo taken today…….. although it was nice of Google to wish me a happy birthday!
Happy bathday! ;)
