I don't have anything personal against the 31st of May. It's the last day of Autumn, reminding me I need to knit some more jumpers. It is someone's birthday. The 31st of May is also the day I say good-bye to my SC's. They'll slip away during the night. Not completely, they are in my lifetime SC's, in some ways like a photo in an album reminding me of fun times past.

Mr karens and I went on a road trip today with one stop being the Big Pineapple. I have memories of a holiday to Queensland in 1988 of this amzing pineapple with fantastic faciilities. Today was disappointing. Not only was the driveway chained off with the buildings closed but it just looked sad.

4. Watch an AFL match. The ground is a rectangle of unmaintained dirt with hints of grass. You might be lucky enough ...

When T-80 came round earlier in the week I took the risk and chose 23D, which seat guru lists as yellow. I figured it's a short flight from Brisbane to Sydney. I thought the leg room was fine but for some odd reason I found putting my feet on the bulkhead in front of me rather comfortable.

He was meant to be in 47F ...
