It's the Sunshine State...where the sun doesn't shine and it is in a helova state.......Just returned from Noosa...and it bucketed it down...It was 2 and half days staying with Ed and Jan Harris, ex Zimbabwians, at their amazing Rose Farm.....Shelley and I had our own cottage....came with cuckoo burrows, guinea fowls and 2 peacocks! Have you heard a cuckoo burrow? You certainly don't need an alarm clock. The view is extraordinary....giant cycads, and a lake in front of you. The trouble was it rained, so all those walks to the waterfall and to the lake, rushing back for a dip in the pool didn't happen....but we had Jewish orgasims (shopped), had a delicious lunch, a breakfast here and meal there! Did some tourist attractions, the ginger factory ...the Eumundi market....and Hastings Street. On Valentines day, it was Ed's birthday and there was a party with some fellow Zimbabwians. Shell and I were roped into doing some cabaret...so the two single girls sang for their supper, and a bloody good show they had....so I say so myself. We danced to the nostalgic 70's disco tunes which came from a very fancy schmancy juke box now programmed for CD's....but we did have a little disaster...Shell had wanted to take a nap in the afternoon and had collided with a stationary wall...a very expensive business when you don't take insurance on the hired car... I cannot talk about it...for two women our age, it was F...g...ridiculous neither of us insisted ... (we just didn't take it.)..it wasn't going to happen, it never does until it does....anyway the excess damage is up to $3000.....you want to vomit.....the flight back was very silent....we came back to Sydney and rain......but friends popped in to say goodbye to me and a lovely time was had by all!
