Coconuts Man

I woke up this morning to the sound of constant “thud…thud..thud” … curiousity got the better of me so I wandered out of the villa to check out the racket and found this outside my door:

So here’s the thing. Apparently the coconut tree hovering above our swimming pool needs a trim. This is so that no coconutty missiles come flying down while we enjoy a dip in the glorious emerald coolness that is our lap pool. Those things can kill! It was truly entertaining tho to watch this little man scramble around up there - with absoloutely no safety harness – picking at the nuts and hacking away at dead branches. I love Bali.

And so with a very responsible attitude of waste not, want not, I kindly asked my gardener to break open one of the coconuts so that I could reap the benefits of all the racket. Mmm, fresh coconut juice. Num num.

Things her boyfriend say

Love random bits you find online. In this fab blog a girl shares the words of wisdom that come out of her boyfriends mouth. For example (boyfriend is referred to as 'e'):

Megalove.
While snuggling:
me: Who loves you?
e: Megatron.

Garage Sale

So, here we are again. Packing, sorting, selling. Why do I do this to myself? If it was an olympic sport, I swear I'd be 3 times world champ by now. Anyway, best not whinge, have a lot to pack and sell off. When did I get so attached to kitchen appliances? Almost had a cry over a spatula this morning. Bah, memories stop plagueing me!

Woke at 5:30am to get this show on the road. Was accosted with a crowd a 6am once I'd opened my garage door. How do they get up so freaking early? Its now 8:12 am and already the interest has fizzled. Should I be excited by my measly $100 taking?

New Year, New Me?

Well well, Happy 2009 everyone. I cant believe its here, where did last year go? In a blink of an eye I tells ya. Maybe its got to do with moving here and there, or getting older or...But does it seem like the years are going by faster and faster.

On a completely different note, still stuck in Bali. Home has this effect one me, very difficult to leave especially when theres not much to go back to in Oz and the island is so lovely! Spent so much more time exploring the island this time. Its really and truly gorgeous, and I cant wait to see more of it. Im heading out to Padang Bai next week. Blue Lagoon, apparently quite a little gem but another one of those places I'm hesitant to write about in case it gets completely overrun by tourists. Would it be fair to just write, take photos and not divulge the location? Methinks yes...
