It was difficult saying goodbye this morning and then it was difficult talking to The Nikonian about how wonderful Chicklet is. I don't like the welling of emotions that the conversation triggered!
Not at all.
We'll see each other again soon.
I've had a really lovely day with The Nikonian. We did some shopping at the Plaza and had a delicious lunch in Cotton Tree and she even dragged me into Bunnings .. of all places!
We tried our luck for a sunset at Sunrise Beach this evening, to no avail, and then also had a failed attempt at steel wool spinning.
We wanted something along the lines of this ...
... but what we got was this ...
and this ...
I can almost hear The Nikonian giggling to herself as she reads this.
We have both made better attempts in the past.
So we came to the conclusion that we need better planning for these outings.
A checklist might be a good idea:
- wearing clothes that are NOT flammable
- wearing a hat to protect our hair
- choosing a still night instead of gale force conditions
- buying the right sized steel wool
- remembering to bring the torch from the car
It doesn't matter .. for every failed attempt, it makes us better prepared for the next successful attempt.
I'm now 'done' for the day.
Nite all.
