Some snaps I took before leaving Australia...
ABOVE: In the ward Lorraine was in, there was a wall of photos of staff's pets. Mostly cats and dogs... and these:
ABOVE: Two fish from I have to presume, the same family. Linguine and Fettucine. And then there was...
ABOVE: LOUISE. That one just cracked me up! I was sniggering to be honest.WHO names a fish any of those three names???
ABOVE: This was an atrium at the PA (Princess Alexandra) Hospital. It was lovely. I actually thought the hospital was really well laid out, clean, tidy and easy to navigate around.
ABOVE: The only Diet Coke I got in a glass bottle. It was a bottle shape I'd never encountered before. I almost brought it home, but yeah, nah.
ABOVE: Brisbane City skyline at night. Very pretty.
ABOVE: Last sight of Australian land, as we flew out.
ABOVE: First sight of land, as we flew into New Zealand.
ABOVE: Circling over Manukau harbour, getting ready to land yesterday afternoon.
I've decided LANDING is definitely worse than take offs. I was stamping on the brakes as we landed! Scary shit.
Now. Today I shall be doing some washing, unpacking my bag, then going out to do a few little jobs.
Back later.
9.45 am, and I have finally got all the morning jobs done.
OH MY GOD it is so cold! I have the heat pump on, I just can't move when I'm this cold.
I think the insulation in this house might need looking at, and perhaps even retrofit double glazing. It is THAT cold in here. It's warmer OUTSIDE I swear.
I am about to put some face on and go out and about, do some jobs that need doing.
Then I'll come home and potter around here again.

Bet it's great to be back 😊
ReplyDeleteI do not like take off and landing either. And I stomp the brakes too. Ha. I hope the swelling you've encountered has gone down some. Ky Girl
ReplyDeleteI have a long history of sleeping thru takeoffs. I tend to fall asleep once I get settled in my seat and then wake up a while after we are to cruising height. I can’t explain it.

Those fish names🤣
ReplyDeleteWelcome home. Glad you made it back safe & sound.
ReplyDeleteWho names a fish Louise, I would. Great name for a fish. I had a good laugh. Gigi
ReplyDeleteLeave your heater on or move to a warm climate...lol...Peta
ReplyDeleteIt's always warmer outside my house than in. My power bill will be through the roof because we've had the heater on a lot this winter. We have a mutual FB friend, and she and I share a long-time friend who underwent a liver transplant a few years ago. I believe she was in the same hospital. She often goes back for check ups and such there, so she knows it very well. xx Colleen
