Reality Bites



Last week I was dangling my tooties over the side of a sail boat, gazing at sublime aqua hues. 

Bliss..




Now I am home and instead of daydreaming while cruising the Whitsunday Islands, I am busy watching this go round and round as it churns through a mountain of washing.

Blah..




Back to reality!

      I sure have Hostess and it actually feels good to be on solid ground. Got a little touch of seasickness this trip.

    What a wonderful holiday! The colour of the Whitsunday seas is just amazing ... even better contrasted with pretty toes :)
    Three cheers for automatic washing machines ..

    Oh Annie, what a difference but welcome back! We wouldn't enjoy holidays so much if we had them all the time :-)

    What gorgeous coloured water! Any holiday near the ocean is a true break in my opinion. Hope you had a great time and even though the dirty laundry brought you back to reality, a Miele washing machine must make things a little bit easier. We don't have one, but my parents do and it is in its 20th year and still going strong! Any more trips planned? Fifi

      The water is a brilliant colour and photos don't do it justice.
      Gee I hope my Miele lasts as long! As for trips..hmm..nothing set in stone Fifi but I would love to return to Hong Kong fingers crossed.

      Hi Annieb! oh I agree wholeheartedly. I couldn't survive living too far from the sea.

    First pic = bliss, second not so much!

    The Whitsundays would have to be one of the most spectacular places on earth.

    Oh back to reality indeed. But if you've got to wash clothes, its great to have a Miele - I absolutely LOVE mine to bits. Your little feet look so cute dangling above the water - and what a pretty colour on your toes! xxx
