TGIF Again

I've been researching accommodation for my solo trip which I hope to take in the first week of May before Adoring Husband goes on his solo trip - he has an appointment with his professor 8th May so he will take a few days after that to visit his grandkids on the Gold Coast.

I'd like to try somewhere different.

So far, I've stayed:

A beautiful big apartment right on the water and above the Mooloolaba shopping precinct but the price for that one is quite a bit higher than I'm willing to pay.

A beautiful big apartment with huge glass frontage overlooking the beach but the staff were rude and unwelcoming and the bed was horrendous and I got no sleep.

A nice apartment but the underground carpark was difficult to navigate AND it was on a main road so it was difficult to exit and enter.

A nice big apartment with a balcony overlooking the water and close to the main shopping area but the bed was horrendous and I hardly slept.

A three bedroom apartment with all the rooms very small. Uncomfortable lounge, sliding doors to the balcony would not lock, impossible to get the TV working with two remotes and incorrect instructions on how to operate, a small balcony with views of both the beach and a slummy empty block full of garbage. Very comfortable bed.

I've discovered that the cost of the accommodation is not an indicator of the quality of the accommodation but reviews are very important!

Anyway I haven't selected anywhere yet and I've noticed that the prices reduce as we get closer to my dates of arrival, so I'll hold off for a little while.

Today, I had to decline BGWLBH's offer of a day out because I had a play date with The Gypsy.

She is dog sitting a beautiful little long haired dachshund named Marshall. I'm not usually a fan of sausage dogs, but he won me over immediately and I could easily have brought him home. What a little sweetie.

She picked me up at 11am and we checked our watches at what we thought was 2pm, only to discover that it was 4pm!!! 

I've said it before and I'll say it again ... time absolutely flies when we are together and we never run out of conversation. So much to talk about and so little time!

I walked home at 4pm and got to play with Harley before making up the mixture for our chicken wings.

We played Sequence and then made ourselves comfortable for the footy. Two games ... two upsets!

This morning before I was picked up, I caught up on my lessons for the Embodied IChing course that I'm doing, so I was a little productive.

Now it's time to sleep.

Nite all.
