LIVE from Dicky Beach, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, it’s the Crossed Wires Holiday Show!
Jokes aside (particularly at the name of the venue, which is actually named after a shipwreck… oh dear, not getting much better is it) we’re on our “summer” holiday. Caravanning on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Beautiful… well, after the heat in the van’s canvas annexe… and trying to sleep at night amongst the insects in said annexe, since I’m too tall to fit the beds in the van…
Maybe I’m too used to travelling, especially given the places I visited on holiday twelve months ago. I’m sure that it’ll do me good to rough-it a little for a while. Caravanning is something I can generally take only in small doses, so we’ll have to see how I go with ten days straight! We’re about four days down now, so if you see any headlines about psychopathic laptop-wielding Linux admins going postal north of Brisbane, check back here to see if it was me…
Connectivity for this blog posting comes courtesy of Optus 3G data via my Nokia N70 phone. Didn’t get the Bluetooth link to the phone quite sorted yet so it’s via USB right now, but having got the PPP config right I can now take it into the Bluetooth mode with a little confidence.
Off to the beach in a minute, hopefully to get some photos of Nicholas going absolutely hog-wild in the surf — he’s loving the beach… Watching him enjoying the beach so much is well-and-truly making up for the insects at night. 🙂
