Second Act

It has been a big couple of weeks for me and the last two nights just about did me in.

A week in Sydney, working the shop every day, travelling into The Bay after work for the last two days, socialising with all the lovely people and sleeping poorly in the strange bed.

I feel 'peopled' out and very tired.

Not that I have any regrets because Sydney was fabulous, I always love being at The Happy Abode and being with my girls is one of my favourite pastimes!

The first afternoon and evening were pretty big, but the food was terrible for we GF girls - thank god for the chocolate cake dessert that redeemed the restaurant - but the company was good and the drinks afterwards were more than acceptable.

The entertainment value of watching the drunk girls tripping over the bi-folding door tracks over and over again back at the apartment, was worthy of an entrance fee, but best of all was the dancing. Dancing on both nights was spectacular - especially the impromptu dancing. The planned dancing was full of errors and the girls were lucky I wasn't holding a paddle with a score on it!

There was some great story telling about concerts we attended in our youth, famous people we met, our favourite shows and the pommies told some funny stories from their country of origin ... as they do.

There was swimming in the pool.

There was marathon walking ... because it was SO FAR between one apartment and the other! Of course, there were advantages and disadvantages to that!

There was a lot of tag team situations as people arrived for lunches (not me) and all stayed for varying lengths of time and one lady only stayed for one night instead of two - but she had a lot of fun for the brief time she was there.

On the last night the five of us in our room watched this movie ...



It was funny and there was much raucous laughter from our lounge room. We had attempted to watch the movie 'Colette' first, but it was slow and had a couple of us dozing in the chair, so we changed it up.

So, congratulations to Blonde Bombshell for cheating death and getting to spend so much more quality time with US 🤩 We are very happy to have you still with us and equally happy that you invited us to your celebration of being alive.

It's 9pm and I'm ready to catch up on some sleep.

Let's hope that tomorrow is a busy day to end a very quiet week in The Happy Abode.

Nite all.

OH! Thank you to my Adoring Husband for going above and beyond, driving me into The Bay every afternoon and then driving in to pick me up and bring me back to work every morning. He is my champion. I think I hit the jackpot when he found me all those years ago in the MSN chatroom. Feeling very blessed.
