Hazy day of summer.....

Ok so I have a confession to make. I have an addiction that only few truly know about. It started when I was a small child.... and NO it's not HOT MEN! That came a little later hehehe.

It's this:

And can sometimes be found in your freezer like this...

Yep you got it, it's an Ice Block! And we can blame my Nana for this one! Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it!! I can eat them any time of the year, any time of the day! And excuse me but on Holidays Welllllllll there ain't nothing better than to have one on a hot sunny day by the pool! :)

Ok, so now that I have that confession out of the way, let's begin today's festivities!

Is there ever a time when you can be just tooooo relaxed? I have wondered that this afternoon, as I feel so mighty fine!

I had the best sleep in this morning, followed by some breakfast (thought about the ice block, but was strong.... and said No! - Thank God I listened...) and off we went to spend the day by our pool!

I'm sorry but I can never take enough shots of this pool!

There was not one cloud in the sky today and it was so relaxing to just lay in the sun, read my book and when I got hot, slip into that pool! And OMG hello, that pool felt A - MAZING!

Then when we got a little bit peckish it was time to do this:

Gotta love Poolside Service! Hell yeah :)

And what was on the Morley Menu today? Well I got me a very delicious Toasted Ham, Cheese and Tomato sandwich with hot salt chips on the side! Mmmmm delish!

After lunch we did some more of this:

And of course I had to do this one. It was calling my nameeeeeeee Karennnnnnnnnnn come and playyyyyyyyy

I have to tell you these little podgy "Holiday Feet" of mine are having the best time! Can you see them smiling back at you?

Andddddd I finished reading my book this afternoon too!

Here's a pic to remind you.

Now I have to tell you Groover's that this was the most inspirational read. I have always liked Denise Richards and I was not disappointed in her first book. The way she has dealt with things that have come her way in life, of course Charlie Sheen, but even dealing with her Mum's death of cancer, well it touched me to read about her struggles and how she has come through stronger and in a much happier place in her life.

I thoroughly recommend it to anyone out there in this big world that feels like they are unable to deal with things that are thrown at them at times! I loved it!!!!!

Well tonight the sky is quite hazy, no Mt Warning to be seen tonight. And it doesn't look like rain, more hazy.... as in The Bangles song... Ohhh speaking of song. I have two things I want to share with you Groover's tonight. The first one comes from my trip home yesterday in the car from the Beauticians. Do you remember the song Listening by Pseudo Echo.... OMG I hadn't heard this song in years.

And just for you Groover's here is the link:

Pseudo Echo - Listening

Andddddddd the second thing was this lovely clip that my friend Barb shared with me today and I in turn would now like to share it with you kids courtesy of the Mumma Mia website!

Military Reunions with Man's Best Friend: Dogs Welcoming home their owners

What a beautiful clip! Brought a tear to my eye.

And so that brings us to the end of another perfect holiday day here in Kingscliff. I would like to leave you kids with this little shot I took last night of the sunset.

Night!

Holiday Feet Strike again....

The other night we were talking about photo's and there is one photo that has stuck in my mind for many years that for me is the classic holiday pic!

Now I have search and searched on the internet and for the life of me I just cannot find it :(

The pic was on a Club Med brochure in the 1990's and was of one foot on the beach, in the sand with water all around it. It had a great tan and was beautifully manicured with this amazing ocean green nail polish....

Isn't it funny how that one picture can stick in your mind and represent so many things to different people.

And due to this same picture whenever I am heading on a beach holiday I get me some "Holiday Feet" :)

Nothing says holiday to me like bright nail polish sparkling in the sun shining back at me! And tonight I went to my favourite beautician at:

Dextress Hair Face and Beauty

The Beautiful Di and got my holiday feet happening for my upcoming trip on Saturday!

It is so relaxing to sit back and have a lovely Pedicure!

And check out these disposable thongs!!!

How stylish am I! You see I'm trying to start a trend LOL

Crazy I know but for me it's all part of the process of "going on holidays".

So I have a another little holiday story. Have you ever been on a Houseboat?

Yesterday when I was at lunch one of the guys I work with mentioned that he was going on a houseboat in the new year. And it reminded me.... of a few years back when a group of us went on a Houseboat for the weekend.

It left from Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast and on the Friday night we decided to have dinner at one of their lovely restaurants and stay in port for the night. Now when you are in port you cannot use the toilet on board! And they give you keys to a special toilet block etc.

So picture this, there were 6 of us, lovely dinner, lots of drinks and we all go to bed on the houseboat. Of course I wake up about 4am and have to go to the bathroom and there is nooo way I'm walking up to that toilet block. So I get up go to the bathroom and when I flush the toilet I WAKE UP THE WHOLE MARINA as the pump on the boat starts up BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM hehehe. I of course woke up everyone on the houseboat and so they all thought stuff it, they would go to the toilet too!

We all joked that the next morning in port out houseboat would be covered all around the houseboat blocking our way! :)

Now the next morning one of the staff took us out and showed the guys how to work the houseboat and then they went back to shore in a little dingy. And one of the girls who will remain nameless had been dying to go to the toilet and Groover's there is no easy way to tell this story but like this:

She had to do a poo!

Sorry, but it had to be said for the story.

And so we are all upstairs on the deck, she has finally gone to the toilet for peace and quiet and there is a large window in the bathroom and she could see the ocean and the shore etc.

Next thing she hears all this kerfuffle and loud voices but she couldn't work out what we were yelling and thennnnnn she heard running footsteps....... When she looked outside the window we were getting closer and closer to the shore!

That poo she sooo wanted to do, welllll it went straight up back inside and that's where it stayed for the next few days! She was soooo scared we were going to crash.

We didn't, what had happened was that the guys went to turn the houseboat but didn't realise you had to plan ahead and start turning wayyyyyyyy before you needed too! It was a close shave but we didn't come aground and off we went for a wonderful weekend on the water.

But my poor friend hehehe.

So on that lovely note, I'm outta here!

Night
