Success aka Blogtoberfest Day 31

I'm a bit chuffed.

Actually I'm a lot chuffed. I have successfully completed Blogtoberfest.

I am so proud of me. I  have posted every day in October. Granted some of my posts have at times been a little on the half-arsed side, especially when I was sick, but even then I posted every single day. It may not seem like much, but this is a big achievement for me. I'm not generally great at being terribly habitual, or reliable, so this is a big, big step.

I hope it was as good for you as it was for me.

I have over-exerted myself a bit though, so I'm going to break for a couple of days. Try not to miss me too much.

Did I ever tell you about the time I rode a Harley Davidson?

We rode out to a giant sand dune. It was on my last full day at the Red Centre.

The isolation of the area is abundantly apparent, once you are outside of the resort and the main tourist areas. From the dune there is almost 360 degrees of nothing, expansive desert and neverending sky, punctuated only by Kata Tjuta and Uluru. A magnificent nothing. 

I can only imagine that the feeling of isolation must compound a thousand fold when it all dies off. At the moment the area is teeming with life due to the incredibly unusual volume of rain they have been experiencing here. Without the green, it would be simply desolate but still majestic. 

On the Mend aka Blogtoberfest Day 29

As of today, after 3 days of feeling like death warmed up, and having fun times hacking up chunks of lung, I am starting to feel better.My cough is still lingering slightly, but I am no longer feeling like darkening the room, and retreating to the foetal position are my only options for the day.

The sun may shine again.

It once again has my permission.

Get Well Soon

Yesterday, Sassy Bear brought me home a get well soon pressie, a beautiful single long stemmed rose. It was so lovely.

Today it's gone a bit Beauty and the Beast on me, but I still love it.
