of holidays (and hoping I can still remember how to upload pictures!)

We're on holidays at present, Mr Tasmania on his two weeks of school hols and I took annual leave for the whole time for a change - haven't had a holiday since Easter so decided I was due!
I'll be turning 40 mid October so we decided (and I requested luxury!) that we'd take a nice warm break to Noosa in Queensland. We stayed at the Sher*ton for 5 days and it was beautiful - warm, relaxing, just what we needed (both as a very rare luxurious treat [we're more cabins and tents really] and also as a break from the long cold Tasmanian winter).
Here's a few pics ....
Main Beach, Noosa Queensland Australia

Native Brush Turkey - he was very busily adding sticks and debris to his huge pile of a nest (about a metre tall) and was not in the slightest bit concerned about the big things staring at him from (at one point) about 10 centimetres away!
Mr Tas enjoying the pool at the Sherat*n - we also greatly enjoyed the swim up bar :)
Bit of a rude shock to arrive back in Tassie on Monday going from 25deg C to 11 :) ... and it's currently gale force wind and sleet outside, www.eldersweather.com.au is showing a current temp of 6.6deg with a 'feels like' temp of 2.7 - niiiiccceeee .... not! :)
Ah well, can't complain, a week in the warm was wonderful and was just part of what is going to be the longest 40th birthday in history - started when my parents were here in early September and will go through until about 16 October - love it! (can you tell I have no age issues? ... the only age that's ever bothered me was turning 33 and I still have no idea what that was all about - maybe it's because I come from a family with both grandparents living well into their 80's even with health issues and that my parents don't look their age ... or just that I honestly don't care - age is how you feel and I"m working on about 25!)
