I am totally tech challenged!
I have never tried to use Jeffs tablet before to do anything fancy like post a blog when I am not sitting at home in front of my PC. I tried to log on several times and it kept telling me ‘wrong password’. Then I searched more then somehow got to my admin page?? I tell you – totally clueless!!
The trip started in our usual fashion – awkwardly…
I am usually the one that does all booking & sorting of trips but because this was Jeffs conference, he organised it all. We reached fancy b&b and nobody was there. Happily we had Mums mobile and called number and dragged some lady out to let us in…. although just before she arrived I noted that we were at Highview House not Hillview House where we were meant to be!!
Not too embarrassing!! I totally blamed the Canadian. Lol.
Mind you, she probably took one look at my farm boots that I forgot to clean and thought “How the hell did they mistake my fancy B&B for the local grungy backpackers??”
We drove off as fast as dignity allowed!
Jeff is enjoying his conference- getting lots of new information in that nursing brain of his! I am enjoying some nice weather – yay – and walking a lot.
Cataract Gorge is the big tourist destination. I totally enjoyed my walk around it yesterday – for 3 hours! Even managed a few snaps on this tablet so I had something to show you!
This part of the walk was a lot less slogging uphill than the first bit I did. I am sure I lost an inch off my bottom – haha- wishful thinking!
During the recent flood – the waters reached the underside of the suspension bridge!
I found a nice place to sit and met a few friendly peacocks
Anyway – Jeff kindly told me about the existence of a massive Spotlight shop yarn) so I am off to check it out!
Hope your week has been amazing!
Cheers!
Hi Lisa – Love your blog. It struck a chord with me about going to the wrong B&B. I took my son to work yesterday – including all of his garb, tools and such. He said he had the address, so we stopped and he unloaded everything. A woman came out on the porch of the house and wanted to know what the !!! he was doing unloading all those tools, etc. We had the wrong address. We were one street too far over. He grabbed the tools and put them back in the car and off we went for the proper address. We couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I think we woke that woman up as she was still in pj’s and took sleepy.
I hope you are enjoying your days away. By the way when is the big birthday celebration. I want to send a note.
