A strange week

Sunset drinks in Broome

My son went in for a pretty serious operation on Friday.

It was scary.

After three hours on the table he was weak and groggy.

This is of course not unexpected, just horrible to see when it’s your baby, your son, your brother.

He is recovering quickly. Resting a lot.

And. Finally. Home.

To distract myself this week (coincidentally) I travelled to Karratha and Broome (Monday-Thursday). That’s what I mean by a strange week.

I love travelling north.

Poolside in Broome

Poolside

How beautiful is that pool.

I started work early yesterday so I could snaffle an hour by the pool in the afternoon.

Lucky I did because the thunderclouds rolled in.

Thunderstorm

We were having a little barbie near the pool and the lightning scared the kids a little.

It was spectacular.

Sadly no rain which means Broome is still on track to have the driest wet on record.

Me and Groover

It’s like walking through a sauna… okay,  a sauna before you tip water over the hot stones.

I love Broome.

I love the multi-cultural vibe.

The corrugated iron buildings everywhere.

That tropical feel.

Oh, and the lucky geckos in the shower.

Mamma Mia! A Kimberley girl

After a long day at work I thought I’d treat myself by forgoing yet another work dinner – hell I’d had a work breakfast – and head down to Sun Pictures to see a movie.

You can probably guess which one.

I’d missed the season in Perth so I was excited to see it showing on the 6.45 session.  I couldn’t convince anyone to come with me but I didn’t care – Mamma Mia at Sun Pictures sounded like something I just couldn’t pass up.

If you’ve never been to Broome, Sun Pictures is an icon.  It’s an old outdoor cinema – 90 years old – basically a corrugated iron shed with rows of those sling back chairs.  These days it sits directly under the flight path for the airport – and by directly under I mean about 800m from the start of the runway.

It’s quite unnerving to be sitting their under the starts singing away (in my head) to Mamma Mia as a plane roars up flashing with lights landing at Broome airport.  Unnerving but exciting.  Luckily the timing was excellent and lets be honest there are not too many moments that are critically quiet in Mamma Mia.

Oh I loved the film!  Sure it’s scmaltzy but in a good way.  The scenery is beautiful, the singing surprisingly good – especially from Meryl – Pierce is more of a worry – the choreography is excellent.  Any flaws in the film you simply dismiss because you feel so damn good.

After the film finished I decided to find some colleagues and see if they wanted to head out to Goolarri media for the finals of Kimberley Girl.

The unfortunate thing here is that many Kenpo trainers were qualified straight under the said popular martial spe cheapest line viagrat.

This is a beauty competition I guess.  The idea is that girls across the Kimberley sign up for a few weeks of deportment, fashion, beauty, self esteem, public speaking training and compete for some – it must be said – terrific prizes… $15,000 pearl jewellery and $2,000 cash for starters.

So while yes it is a model competition it is more about learning to accept yourself and be proud of who you are.

The girls were beautiful and strutted their stuff like they owned the catwalk.  It was empowering just watching them.  The place was packed and the crowd loud and supported.

I had a blast.

The great thing about Broome is that it is so casual… so my – now slightly pink with Pindan – sandshoes can be worn anywhere and with anything. 

People don’t even iron up here.  I think most of the creases fall out with the humidity anyway and boy is it humid!

So you find me lying on my hotel bed, weary yet feeling good, trying to decide whether to go to bed or maybe just read one more chapter of Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer – a book I bought for Dippity at the airport and which I’ve totally become immersed in… Have you read the twilight series?

Okay, I’m rambling now.  Catch you soon, CB xx

Broome-time reunion

I’m in Broome today for work – I know, what a bitch of a job eh? – anyway I’m strolling through Chinatown trying to find a sandwich at 3pm – not easy – I almost had to go to Subway – when I spot a girl I knew at school.

She reminded me that it has been 25 years since I left high school this year.  25 YEARS!

How old did I feel?  As old as her at least.

A prescription de cialis patient’s personal details and other important data are kept safe. Funny isn’t it when you meet someone from school.  We weren’t friends at school and after a short conversation I was quite happy to walk away.  And yet, I felt I should have wanted to catch up. 

It was like that at the 20th reunion – I left with the realisation that there’s a reason why I don’t see that many people from school… they weren’t my friends then and the passage of time – with little or no contact – has not changed things.  I see the people I liked at school, and if I liked them and I don’t see them – well that’s usually because our lives have gone in different directions.

Still, it wasn’t a particularly comfortable feeling.  I wonder if the same applies to facebook?

Broome Sunrise

The sun rises this morning over Roebuck Bay. I look out from in front of the apartments I’m staying in, over the mangroves. The grass is wet and my crocs (oh I know – just as bad as uggys) let the water in to my feet.

The air is warm and wet, heavy and still. It is about 26 degrees and only just 7am.

I walk across the grass, get into my little hire car and go to work.

Another day in the Kimberley.

Back home baby!

Yes I’m home. Reluctantly boarding the plane after walking through the airport which looks like a pub… a tropical resort pub.

Hey guess what? I was randomly selected to…

… no, not move into Business Class. I wish…

They stick this little rod thing with a piece of sticky tape on the end on your hands, near your pockets, in the pockets of your cases and finally in a little machine which can read traces of TNT and Nitroglycerine and presumably stuff like plastic explosives. Glad I don’t work in road building where they have to blow up rock to clear the way…

As expected I was clear to go. An interesting experience but not as nice as the explosive puffy machine in the Statue of Liberty which made my hair go floolf. Nothing like a little floolf I’ve always said…

Anyway I’m waiting for my Flip to download some videos… yawn… back soon when they are cooked. 🙂

Sandflies and Geckos

I’m in Broome.  At the station.  Sitting at the kitchen table with my laptop.  There’s a quiet moment.  My meetings still an hour away so I thought I’d check in with you my lovelies and get you up to date with my travels.

Arrived yesterday around 6pm.  It was HOT.  Sure it’s hot in Perth but add 67-70% or more humidity and it really is offensively hot.  I was wearing jeans and high heels and my feet started slipping in them within seconds.

Broome airport by the way, isn’t airconditioned.  It looks like a resort hotel, Kimberley style.  All corrugated iron and pergola like timber decoration.  Palm trees and yeah, that relaxed, slip into Broome time feel.

Found my little hire car on the grass lawn at the side of the car park and then drove around reaquainting myself with the town – I haven’t been here since 1994.

Sun Pictures – the outdoor cinema – isn’t where I remember it.  My mind must have been playing tricks on me.  The shopping areas of Old Broome are lovely – although all closed by 6 last night.  Covered verandahs, corrugated iron, a real colonial feel.  Okay I’ll take some photos and add them in later.

I’m staying at Moonlight Bay Residential Apartments.  And they are pretty nice.  Apparently some have spas.  Mine doesn’t.  It has a pool and a big grassed area that looks over the mangrove to the sea.

We went to Zanders for tea last night.  Zanders is next door to the Cable Beach Resort and overlooks Cable Beach.  It’s one of those modern cafe style restaurants, licensed.  I had a chicken laksa which was good.  Overly sized and I couldn’t finish it though.

One of my favourite things so far is Goolari TV.  A community station run by the local Aboriginal broadcaster Goolari Media.  Really engaging, local stories.  Made you feel you were in Broome.

Have I mentioned I’m in Broome?

Shared my shower with a little gecko – that’s supposed to be good luck.

Got to work and saw the sandfly bites on one of the techs – he’s allergic to their wee or something.  Nasty!
