In Her Pyjamas

Last week, my husband's younger brother and his girlfriend, who live in Sydney, came to visit us. While they were here, we went to see Tim Freedman (who used to be the singer songwriter for the Sydney based band "The Whitlams") perform.

Over ten years ago, my husband's brother gave us their breakthrough CD, called "Eternal Nightcap". I often listen to it in the kitchen with my daughter. Today, I would like to try to translate the song, "Melbourne" from that album. It is a love song about a long distance relationship. The singer lives in Sydney, but his girlfriend lives in Melbourne. (Just so you know, Melbourne is often called "the rainy city".)

When it gets to the line, "If I had three lives, I'd marry her in two", my daughter always screws up her face and says, "What's that supposed to mean!?" My answer differs depending on the day. Sometimes, I say, "Australian men are hopeless".

Dear Everyone,

Because I'm intending to take the JLPT3 exam in December, I am going to have to start doing some serious study.

Therefore I’ve decided to take a break from Lang 8 from next Wednesday.

Of course, as soon as the exam is over, I'll return.

But, I will miss you all.

Wish me luck,

We searched for a weekend getaway online for several days and decided on the Royal Canadian Lodge.

The service was outstanding and Tom went way out of his way to help us several times with specific activities that we wanted to experience.

The staff was extremely friendly, very helpful, and polite. The room was larger than we thought by the pictures.

The bathroom was very clean and also larger than expected.

We have traveled four hours on the scenic backroads and picked up some bugs on the windshield.

I thought the next morning I would clean them off when I got gas, but the staff had already cleaned the windows when we were sleeping.

I have never even heard of a hotel service like that, amazing.

The beds were comfortable and atmosphere was great.

We were about two large blocks from the beginning of the shops, so it is very convenient to downtown but just far enough away to have less ped or car traffic.

We were planning on renting bikes at a local bike shop, but Tom told us that the cruiser bikes were complimentary, so we took him up* and had a great time on them.

We did not eat in the restaurant at the hotel because there were too many fabulous places in town.

We enjoyed the pool and spa.

The pool was the perfect temperature but the spa was a little too hot for my wife and I, but the rock architecture added to the mountain experience.

Nice touch but simple.

Overall experience was beyond expectations.

Room Tip: We were on the ground floor which was convenient, elevator works well but we don't like to wait...
