Dear hearts,
Quite the weekend was had with the lovely Miss Mellie gracing our shores. It was activities plus as we tootled around enjoying the best of the far north.
I must share a couple of the highlights. Sailing with the Green Guru on Saturday was perhaps the most ideal day on the water this year. The sea was blue, the bubbles chilled and Jimmy Buffett cruisy. Being the musical patron saint of all yachties, it is de riguer to have him serenade as one scans the water line for turtles and all creatures fishy. The junior yachties tacking off Ellis Beach provided pretty spinaker flags as they raced out towards Double Island, young Jack Sparrow amongst them.
The evening brought entertainment and edification such as the far north has not seen with Miss Mellie and Miss Mich giving Karaoke the reputation it deserves. The Captain and Tennile as well as Elton and Kiki were honoured along the the lovely Ms Carole King. Suffice to say, Miss Mich was in her element, brilliant (obvi) and along with Miss Mellie made the perfect duo.
A certain New Zealand white at said Karaoke proved to be somewhat on the nose. In the words of one of my darling B's "It doesn't matter how big it is, if it's off, it's off". And as it was definitely on the turn, Miss Mellie and I decided to pour it out somewhere in Manunda. With that kind of provenance, we should have known no good would come of it. Nothing of the Malborough about this one.
Sunday brought with it the coastal road to Port and beautiful sunshine. After fortification and strong coffee it was into the Edge Hills to debrief the weekend so far. Doris Day, octogenarian dyke and saver of the lost dog sang of her secret love and we all sighed que sera sera. The only pillow talk going on between her and the lovely Rock Hudson was comparing notes mano a mano. Onwards after to the Espy where the eldest bright young thing sang like a bird to the travellers and the revellers.
Miss Mellie checked in to Qantas with a tear in her eye and the promise to come back soon. Miss Mich took the coast road back to the beaches reflecting on a most successful weekend and settled in front of that lovely reality that is Sunday night TV.
Enjoy the rest of Monday.
Love Miss Mich

Miss Mich is a gracious host, with some wonderful FNQ friends. As my vocal chords heal, and my liver tries to recover, I sit here in the cool autumn breeze that Sydney is providing, and remember (what I can)my wild and whacky few days in the company of Mich. The story of the many dogs in and out of her life is always entertaining, and last weekend was no exception! Special mention goes to Guy, who is a wonderful friend to my dear M, as are the B's and Sharrrron.Cant sait to get back to see you all again.
