Currently in Innisfail, in Far North Queensland. We're staying at Baby Jane's place, despite her being in Cooktown, even further north, for the duration. It's a new and exciting way to treat houseguests, yes ... and we get to water the garden and feed the chickens and life doesn't get much better than that.
Since my last testy post, I've regained my equilibrium and am loving everything, although Keith is very annoyed that he was carrying a bag of grapefruit in Cairns and it broke and grapefruit rolled everywhere, and folks around grabbed them ... but only two were given back. The others were simply dropped in folks' bags and taken off. Shocking, huh! Remember how, in Hong Kong, my pearl necklace broke on the street and it was pearls everywhere and everyone at the bus stop scrambling for them, and then the shopkeeper in the store opposite raced out with a paper bag and everyone dropped their handfuls into it ... and when I got it home only one of the hundreds of pearls was unaccounted for, and that most likely rolled into a storm drain or something.
And yet, here in Cairns, Keith only gets back two grapefruit. Says something, huh!
Caught up with Old Fiji Friend Lynnette R. and it was just lovely. Very wise indeed we've all grown in the last decades ... and Lynn and I both agreed that we wished we'd realised at the time just how very special our shared Fiji childhood was.
Don't you wish you could go back in time and just tell your young self a lot of truth about the life you/they have and simply aren't valuing enough?
Will be here for several days before setting off down the coast. Will update whenever and wherever I can!
