Hello from Down Under

Blogging has been a bit slow because I’ve been in the Whitsundays and Brisbane. I just arrived in Sydney yesterday afternoon so I can finally use my iPad like no tomorrow.

The Internet connection on Daydream Island in the Whitsundays was pretty patchy so those of you following me on Twitter or Facebook got a coupla updates from me.

Though I’m totally stoked by having a new iPad, I’m a bit frustrated that I haven’t quite figured out how to easily upload images and put them up onto WordPress which is the blogging platform I use. I can’t cut and paste URL links from Photobucket either and need to painstakingly rewrite the HTML code for each photo.

But I can email and take care of Beauty Box from afar so that should be good enough for now.

Anyway, what’s going on with me? I’m sniffling from having too much dairy the night before (dairy causes mucous and stomach upsets for me) and waiting for the kangaroo to finish up his work so we can go running at the Centennial Park in Sydney.

The hunt for the perfect wedding location is still inconclusive as we love almost all the places we have seen. We decided that a poll is in order for our friends and family but I can only work on that when I get back to Tokyo, seeing that I need to download a suitable plugin to make that happen and it seems a bit too challenging for my iPad. Gosh i make it sound a bit useless, don’t I?

In the meantime, I’m happy to be out of hotels for now. We are putting up at Mrs Kangaroo’s home and it feels nice to be whizzing up green smoothies and juices in the kitchen. “Babe, is that what life’s all about? Food?” asked a bemused kangaroo.

To be honest, I am happiest when I’m healthy but I am truly enjoying being back in Oz. I cracked up inwardly when our jet-skiing instructor said this: It’s all over, red Rover. – to mean something is doomed to fail. And how to have a deadpan face when doing a wind-up (to have a dig at someone seemingly serious).

“Naps are only for old men, honey,” I said, when the kangaroo mentioned he wanted to lie down after our action-packed day of sailing in a catamaran. He looked indignant then realized it was a wind-up and laughed. Gotcha.

Alrighty, I have to go walk Mrs Kangaroo’s dog, Pixie, because she is out playing tennis. This is quite a different type of post for me and hope you are enjoying it as much as I did writing it.

Will be back soon for more picture-less posts…
