That's it! We can use this in our evil plan to take over the world!

hmmm fabulous would not be an appropriate adjective to apply to the trip as a whole. The staff were fabulous, great service, but the trip as a whole was not.

There are no pictures because the most scenic part of the trip (Townsville to Cairns) was done by bus because of flooding or something, but we knew that the day before we left.

I did eat the most fabulous chocolate mousse for dessert at lunch on the first day.

Unfortunately despite their efforts to do it up (the shower was fabulous), the poor old dinosaur of a train 'The Sunlander' was a bit shabby. This would not have been too much of a problem for us except that the airconditioning was not good, and you could not open any windows. (I nearly fainted at dinner).

I think I am not a good traveller, I had a travel headache the whole time. Flying is cheaper and faster! Although this was not good either Virgin Blue not my favourite airline anyway, but the aircon was no good there either.

Boy I sound like a big whinger!

a pommy one even. We still had fun, but it would make me think twice about long distance train travel in the future.

What am I doing? downloading books, watching Ice Age with the kids, finishing the leftover yellow curry (yum!!!).... that's about it.

but today, I got a few very lovely compliments. At the dentist (

), I was told my teeth are beautiful and I had hardly any tartar (even thought it'd been about a year since my last appointment), and my gums looked great. Then I went back to work and saw a coworker who told me my blouse (I don't usually use that word, but I guess this was definitely a blouse) was a great color for me and I am just so gorgeous and don't need any makeup or anything.

I'm not sure I agree that I'm gorgeous, but I'll take it!

I try to share a few compliments every day with various people (deserved compliments, of course), and it's always nice when a compliment or two floats its way back to me! (even if it's only about my teeth!)

Now that's what I'd call a good day, Grace

And I bet they were both right, too.

I'm sorry the trip was a disappointment.

I agree, though, the air conditioning would have been a big problem for me, too, particularly if I couldn't get a window open. Glad to see you back here, anyway!

I may have been out of sorts this morning, but music has worked its magic once again. I went to a concert of Christmas music by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra at lunchtime today, held in the sanctuary of the old and very beautiful North Avenue Presbyterian Church in downtown Atlanta. I sat on the 4th row, and it was really thrilling to be so up-close and personal with such respected musicians. This is also the first live orchestra event I've been to since I had my (successful) ear surgery last year, so it was very moving for me to hear the music in true stereo for the first time in 13 years. I'm still floating on air from the sheer beauty of it...
