  This morning I got up and packed my things and got ready to go to the airport. I had Kelly drop me off a lot earlier than necessary (she did not know this) because I could not wait to get out of there. I also needed time to get some munchies- as by this time I was feeling more than a little hungry from not eating anything for the past day or so. The flight up from Brisbane to Proserpine airport was really good. Just as I was leaving Brisbane, I could see the rivers of sand under the water- all beautiful colours of blue, and a little further out, a big sandy island, and beyond that, impressive storm clouds. Oddly enough, when I was on the ground, I could not see any clouds at all, but as soon as we were in the air, there they were, almost in your face.
I had a little bit of a treat on the take off as well; we flew right over the city centre. I had not flown there before so it was really good to see places where I had once lived and once hung out at, albeit from a great distance.
I landed pretty much on time and made a bit of a fool of myself. As I was coming through the airport, I was looking at someone through the (highly reflective) windows- and I was smiling at them thinking it was my mum, when infact it turned out to be a total stranger. So I kept on walking through the terminal and finally found her. I got my luggage off the back of the luggage truck. (This would have to be the most primitive airport ever- the luggage gets carted out in a truck! ) Then I got in the car and went to Bowen. It is really hot up here. It got to about 29 degrees today; meanwhile in Melbourne it was a nice 15 or so. I went straight to Jochiems pie shop- they have the yummiest pies, and I got a meat pie and cream horn.
Yum yum yum. I got a call from Kelly soon after that, she was telling me how she and her personal trainer were friends again. Yesterday she called state office of where he works and told them (anonymously) how he drove her to suicide and how he is sleeping with all his clients…. Some people…… Anyway I then got home, ate my pie, and had a nap. It is hot here! When I got up, I had a heatwave headache. I only get these inconvenient headaches when the temperature is well over 40 degrees in Melbourne… maybe it is the humidity here?
Anyway I had a lot to drink, had some dinner and watched countdown to Eurovision. I find Eurovision fascinating, and it is a shame I will not be in Melbourne for it. There they have a big screen in the city where thousands of people sit down and watch the show. I was planning on going there this year but obviously now I am up here so can’t; however I will still be watching it on television though!
Then I watched the apprentice. I have already looked up on Google to see who will win. I can’t understand though why Sam has not already been eliminated yet. I don’t like him either and I agree with Donald- I think he will ruin a company or two in this lifetime! By midnight, it is still over 25 degrees here. Welcome to the tropics. In Melbourne it is 5 degrees…. I think I would rather be up here, but I wish I would acclimatise a lot faster! Anyway time to go to bed- catchyas!
