On my way…

I was so excited to be flying out to Qld today that I got up at 3am. Yeah right. Well I got up at 3am anyway, not because I wanted to! Actually I lie, I WOKE at 3am, got up at 4, back to bed at 6, only to get up again without further sleep, at 7. So, umm, I’m a bit sleep deprived. I managed to sneak a few zzz’s on the trip from Mildy to Melb, and felt a little better on arriving, however the 3 hour wait I have here at Tulla is not so fun. I was even too early to check in so still have all my luggage with me. And, I have internet issues already (again). I have been having major problems with my Bigpond wireless device, every time I go away. So, anyway it just down my computer at Mildy airport, and of course when I go to reopen it, my email takes…40 mins and still counting…to reopen. I can see I am going to be highly productive if it stays like this. It’s been stuck on ’9 minutes remaining’ for about 10 minutes. I can’t cancel it otherwise I will have to go through the entire process again!!!! Talk about driving me insane.

Anyway, re all the blog hoohah that went on, I think it’s safe to say we all settled pretty much exactly where we begun – that everyone is different and some approaches will suit some people and not others. Certainly got a lot of hits to my blog anyway!

So, hoping I feel up to going out for a glass of wine and a chat with Kristin when I arrive this arvo. I’m sure I will be fine. Tomorrow we have a pretty big day planned, a meeting with my web consultants, followed by a meeting with Jason at Bodizone, and then a training session, followed by a shower at his place apparently! Then off to visit Hils and have dinner at a Thai restaurant followed by the road trip home. Day after we’ll be meeting Sharna over coffee, then getting stuck into the work.

Oh how could I forget our curry cooking disaster last night! Sandra, I sent you the link, I won’t put it on my blog because it was so bloody hot it was inedible!!! It tasted great but holy moly. I think they have gotten the recipe wrong!!! We are so not familiar with spicy cooking – does 3 tbsp of cayenne pepper and 8 green chillies sound like a lot of heat???!! It was for a kg of chicken but I always thought cayenne pepper was like a ‘pinch’. I couldn’t eat all of mine it was just ridiculously burning hot, my eyes were watering and my nose was running. Damien’s head hurt :) We had a good laugh about it actually.

Well now my email says 3 mins to go, i have been here 50 mins, can you imagine? That’s how much email I have backed up I guess, need a good clean out.

Well once it decides to open I will take all my stuff and check in. Might buy a sushi pack on the way past, for lunch – though I do have tuna and veg in my bag, might save that for dinner. Will need to get groceries tonight actually or first thing tomorrow perhaps.

  • On my way too, to Melbourne though! Enjoy your stay in warm Qld Sue. Sorry we won’t get a chance to catch up this visit. Think of me in freezing Melbourne.

  • OMG Sue. . .sorry but the curry story is very funny! I nearly fell off my chair reading how much pepper and chili you put in. Were they trying to kill you? lol!! cayenne pepper is ridculously hot and I probably wouln’t have used more than 1 tsp myself for 1kg of chicken and perhaps 2 chillis, 3 max! I do think they got it wrong.

  • Curry HOT alright!! I’m amazed you still have skin on the roof of your mouth! When making curry from a recipe, add the hot stuff slowly and taste as you go BUT 3 tsps cayenne and 8 green chillis is one heck of a lot for 1kg chicken!

  • Geez Sue, thanks for the recipe (LOL)…;-)
    Lucky I haven’t had a chance to try it out…knowing me I would’ve followed the recipe blindly and then died eating it like you…he he he. I think it’s hilarious.
    Might give it a go and like Nadia says, add the hot stuff slowly…
