Drive careful, and be safe, take plenty of water and let us now of your safe arrival.

Hey Nick,  Good Morning to you.  I did have a good day, but not normal.

Hey, Terry.   Sorry about the not normal day. Can we blame the alcohol? 

Wow! Thai people can party.

Good morning, afternoon, or evening, depending on your location, to you all.

And if he spots a 6' 3", 200 pounds blond that looks suspiciously like Chris Hemsworth, give him my number, please!

It's a nice easy day for me so I can continue writing and going through Terry's edits. Then back to the hospital tomorrow pm. Next week is looking good with only one business appointment and two visits to the hospital so I may have time to spend at the shelter.

It's about a 3.5 hour drive but I make regular stops so it can add another hour to the drive. I might need to restrict myself to shopping stops rather than any touristy pauses as I need to do a bit of shopping at one of the Farmers Markets.

It’s a great place with lots and lots of goodies to enjoy. I am going to bbq some lamb chops for my sister's birthday lunch and I am thinking I might get some fish as well. It is definitely salad weather so I will pull together a couple of different kinds for the lunch. I'm still not sure about dessert/birthday cake - either a pavlova topped with a medley of fruits or cupcakes from the awesome bakery. I’m leaning towards the pavlova.

That could add an hour or two to the journey

And of course I have already packed some limes and the bitters for us to enjoy

take plenty of water

Very good advice

I always have a fair bit of water in the car during summer (part of the fire prep) but I have put a few litres in the fridge so I will have cold water on the way down
