LushLuce's blog post - Feeling blah

Sunday, January 4, 2009, 7:04:28 AM

Well well well. I find myself back home after a few glorious days in beautiful Margaret River and all I want to do is go back. I love that place. Everything about it is what I want. There's just something about tall Karri trees and rural areas RIGHT ON THE BEACH that just make your whole body go ahhhhhhh this feels good. Sure every time we go there we have a lot of fun spending all day at the beach, wineries, chocolate & cheese factories, exploring the caves by day and enjoying the local hospitality at night, but there is just something about that place that draws you in. I no everywhere new you go always has days filled with things to do and see but I just love the whole laid back surfy/rural lifestyle that they all lead down there. I want that. And I know everytime you come back from being away there is always that whole mundane back into routine downer but there's something about parking your car back in suburbia where your neighbours house looks identical to yours that is just blah. I have decided I fucking hate my house, I hate where I live and while I do have some of the best friends ever here and a very good job which I LOVE and know I'm lucky to have, surely there has got to be more to life than this paying of a mortgage crap. Blah. The 3.5 kids and white picket fence just isn't my thing or what I want. Or maybe I do just not here! Or maybe I just need to get away more. Yep I'm rambling shit.

I also discovered that my body isn't as young as it use to be and averaging about 4 hours sleep a night and not sleeping for 42 hours straight came alot easier in your early twenties! haha. Made up for it though slept from 1am last night till 2pm this avo... oopsies.

Hope everyone had as great a New Year and Chrissy hols as I did cuz it has truely been great this year.

Lets hope 2009 has more to offer.

Love n stuff
Luci

Hi LushLuce, loved your photos, looks as if you are very acceptable to anal and DP lucky lucky guys.
The main reason for writing to you is to find out about your time at Margaret River, the wife and I are holidaying in Perth for 9 days the end of March after a cruise from Sydney around the top. We are staying in the Goodearth hotel with a hire car and are just in the process of planning day and overnight trips while we are there, we were thinking about driving down to the Margaret River for a night, leaving Perth early in the morning and booking into accommodation for the night and then doing a few wineries in the afternoon, then dinner and a bit of a look around, up early in the morning take in the cheese and chocolate factories then back to Perth, the tall Karri trees you mentioned sound interesting would they a long way out of the way we would be going? You make it sound very interesting and have me starting to wonder if we should be spending more time down there, but then we have the rest of Perth to see, we want to go out to Rottnest Island for a day, and general sightseeing around Perth.
Actually we have really only got seven days in Perth as we arrive mid day and our train leaves mid day.
PS we are mid 60’s, we spent 25 + years in the swinging, swapping and M F M threesome scene, given it up now but did enjoy it very much when we were younger, we have also been married 45 years, it will be 46 by the time we get to Perth.
Thanking you rick181au
