Of mice and men

No matter how carefully a project is planned, something may still go wrong with it. The saying is adapted from a line in “To a Mouse,” by Robert Burns: “The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley.”    

So expecting to have internet access, one really gets thrown when it is not working.  Never mind we are away again now. 

The flight to Townsville was wonderful and we had great views of the countryside.The co-pilot came on as we neared Townsville to advise us that we would be flying through a lot of smoke from the bushfires and not to worry if we smelled smoke.The smoke was quite dense and I can still see the grey brown haze of it on the horizon.

This is our motel room. Small but comforable.

After settling in to our motel we headed for a walk downtown to find a café.  Three short blocks downhill to the city centre and found a little café which did gluten free bread for R.  Doesn’t my meal look tasty?

After our meals it was a slow walk uphill back to the motel, where I immediately went to sleep.

We drove out to find our bearings so R could get to work easily in the morning and did some shopping at a nearby supermarket for something for dinner.  We found we could not access the internet and were very glad to have an early night.   Today I find I can receive emails, but not send them??

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are having a lovely day!
