Kiwi Banana Downunder

Until very recently, I always thought accommodation while abroad comprised the options of: hotel, motel, backpackers, rental homes and family or friends only. And within the space of a month, I came across the term “serviced apartments” which was something I could not comprehend, at first.

To me a serviced apartment is very much like a motel. I guess the only difference is an apartment is part of a multistorey building whereas a motel tends to be single-level dwelling (occasionally upper and lower level).

So if I were to say for example wanting to experience the great outdoors which North Carolina has to offer, then I would make it a point to check out Outer Banks rentals for the best place to stay while on vacation there. I wish I could go on vacation to relax and to get away from this cold and dry weather; it’s currently not eczema friendly.

We had dinner at Greenwood Seafood Restaraunt at Greenwood Plaza in North Sydney to celebrate my uncle’s 80th birthday.  It was rather straightforward driving to Greenwood Plaza but it was a bit harder to find where this restaraunt was.  But thanks to my wife’s keen sense of direction she found the place and in we went (we were the last ones to arrive).

It was a good family turnout and our precious daughter seemed to enjoy herself despite the other children around her being a good 2-3 years older than her.  Furthermore, she even managed to stay awake right to the end - around 11pm is when we all went our merry way.  But she was quick to fall asleep in the car on the way home.

Oh and the food was yummy too

Perhaps I’m feeling cold because I have just gotten better after taking a day off to recuperate from being sick but all this early morning coldness doesn’t make it easy for me to recover as quickly as I would hope.

I only hope to make a full recovery within the next couple of days so that I can attend my uncle’s 80th birthday dinner this weekend and to catch-up with my cousins.

Our neighbour had some colourbond steel sheets and framing delivered a week ago and today he’s having it assembled.  And as I had guessed, it was for their patio area – an extenstion of sorts to provide further shelter from the elements.

I wish our patio was a just a little wider so that we could get ourselves some outdoor furniture (like a 6 seat rectangle table with tempered glass with an option to insert an umbrella) and erect shelter around the patio like how our neighbours are doing.  And this would make the ideal position to sit and watch the sun go down at the end of a summer’s day while enjoying a refreshing cup of tea.

It was bound to happen and I had signs of it over the weekend but I have finally succumbed to being sick.  I can at least say that this time I was not the first one to get sick - my precious daughter, my loving wife and then me.

So far it feels like a head cold mixed with a bit of flu - mild but enough to put me out of action for today.  Getting that extra sleep seems to have helped so far.

Taking time out to read up on several nuphedra reviews has me quite interested in wanting to give this dieting supplement a try.

The reviews all have a common theme: the ingredients are all natural, there’s no proprietary element, certain ingredients (decaffientated Green Tea and Oolong Tea) are well known for their weight-loss inducing properties and stock is currently rare.

If I could get my hands on some of this, I’m sure I’ll be on my way back to wearing my old but favourite pair of jeans!
